I'm officially over Giles. Toney Williams wants to play RB not FB so I say we let him rip. Him and Oku is all we need anyway. Good luck Giles.

No, it's a kid that was recruited by a coach that sold himself before the university. Giles should be ecstatic that Kiffin is here, but what Giles is showing shows me what I mentioned above to be more true than not.

I must have missed what you said earlier.

Yes UF did. DeShawn Wynn was good enough to start several games as a rookie in the NFL

Let me rephrase that - UF never had a true running game while Drayton was there. His carries were very limited and he really didn't fit in with their system.

Giles is more than likely gone. Set to announce Tuesday, like someone said on another board, you don't announce twice to the same school. Kiffin, Drayton and Scott will be in Tampa Friday to make one more push.

Oh well - I think he's really rushing the decision and not giving Kiffin time. He's probably still on a high from the Nebraska visit and would likely point to going there. You gotta wait awhile to let your emotions settle down but this kid isn't into that I guess.

If he's set to announce tuesday - then we're out. Kiffin hasn't had a chance to talk to him really.

I honestly want no part of someone that only comes to TN for a coach. When he decommitted the first time I said goodbye, he is to much an ego guy. Oku could run circles around him.

I love how a lot of you have turned your back on him saying you don't want him now.

No one is saying they don't want him as a talent and a RB. He seems way to diva-like at this point. He said he was going to put the school Drayton goes to in his top 2? But doesn't matter what the school is... and the team he had been committed to keeps Drayton... sounds like a win/win... but obviously not. He's just making quick decisions based on his emotions and not using his head imo based on the fact his comments aren't echoing what he's planning on doing.

And as someone mentioned earlier - he's way to attached to a single coach in Drayton. Everyone would want him here - but we don't need him - Oku is a little better and we still have a lot of great RBs.

mybe he just isn't comfortable with tennessees situation yet, I don't know the whole deal but didn't drayton say he was leaving tenn at first? maybe draytn startedto lure him away from tenn to follow him and now he's not comfortable with his chhanged decision. I really don't think this is diva-like at all. I think you should be thankful that he's still giving the vols some consideration. nebraska has been through two recent coaching changes and that's jusut how it goes, you can't expect that they will be as attatched to the team after a coaching change and it could completely alter their choices.

The fact that he's (supposedly) announcing tuesday shows major immaturity on his part imo. If he likes Drayton that much... and he's not willing to meet with Kiffin before he decides. As of now Drayton is still on the staff to recruit and will be evaluated by Kiffin later.

That shows so much bias its not even funny. Maybe Giles is wondering how he can take Reaves seriously when 1 day he is selling USC to him as the best place for him to go and the next day he is selling UT to him. Seems kinda shallow and I think Giles sees through it.

Giles Moving Closer To Commitment Day
By Phil Kornblut

He didn't mean to tip his hand, and maybe he didn't, but RB Jarvis Giles (6-0 180) of Tampa Tuesday night may have provided a clue about what he's thinking regarding making a commitment to either USC or Nebraska. Giles disclosed that USC head coach Steve Spurrier and running backs coach Robert Gillespie will make an in home visit with him and his family Thursday night. Asked if that meeting could seal the deal on a commitment to the Gamecocks, Giles responded, "I know for a fact I'm going to.... well, I mean, I'm going to make a commitment next week." Asked if he meant he was going to commit to USC, Giles would only say USC and Nebraska are his top two. Nebraska's running backs coach visited him Monday. "It went real good," he said. "He explained a lot of stuff to my dad. My dad walked out with a lot more knowledge about Nebraska." Tennessee recruiters Stan Drayton and David Reaves are to visit Giles Friday, Giles, a former Tennessee commitment, said he's not strongly considering the Vols. "I just want to hear what they're going to say."

Its his freakin' job. If you or Giles can't understand he's getting paid to bring players to UT now - then we don't want someone is that dumb in the head. Sure - its confusing... but he probably felt like a moron trying to sell USCe to that kid over UT... I sure would.

Giles doesnt wanna get recruited by Reaves "because its his job".

Well thats too bad. Recruiting is a "job" with any coach. Once again - if he doesn't realize that then he's pretty dense. I just feel bad for Reaves that he's had to lie to recruits telling USCe is the best place for them.

USC crushed UT. Its gotta be easier to tell them its better. Plus we offer more playing time and a proven winner as a coach.

I think this simply comes down to a clear, direct path to immediate playing time.

At Carolina, Giles will likely tote the rock a ton in his freshman year. He may even be at the top of the depth chart there as a freshman.

At Tennessee - he'd be competing with Oku as an incoming freshman, and he'd be behind Creer, Hardesty, and Poole.

I'm starting to think Kiffin is much more selective about recruiting players we really need and not just recruiting any freak he can get.

I am certain that no recruit is so short-sighted that they look at USC Jr.'s victory over a dismal UT this season as anything other than an anomaly...

and the allure of playing for Spurrier is LONG gone...unless a recruit just wants to lose 5+ games every single year.
