I am not sure if this has been posted yet or not, sorry if it has been.

In Sporting News Today, it says the Giles has narrowed his schools down to 3 Tennessee, Nebraska and South Carolina. He said TN was very much still in it because he is impresses by new coach Lane Kiffin. He has told several reporters that he will announce his decision as early as next Tuesday.

Sounds familiar. Dont get too cocky.

It comes down to what the kid wants. He clearly likes what USC has to offer more than what UT has to offer.

Okay...I don't know why I'm surprised at your response....you ignore almost everything in my post and then pick out one thing and make an ignorant response to it...

Sounds familiar? What sounds familiar? How many people were the offensive coordinator at the real USC when they were killing people in the middle of this decade?

It's just like you contending that our past success is irrelevant now (past being all the way back to last year when we won the SEC East) but you pump up you're "proven winner" of a coach who hasn't won anything this decade...

Truth is...Giles is probably going to pick USCe...and it won't make any difference to us...we've already landed Thunder(Williams) and Lightning(Oku) in this class

You just go ahead and keep pumping up that 7-5 record and this years victory over us...cause that's as good as it's going to get for you all there

I know this, the thing that gets me is the gleaming report that he gave about Knoxville and it's people that all of a sudden doesn't seem to be true anymore. Also, he's the one that wants to be a midtermer, he didn't have to be but he chose that. We have a stable of RB's and honestly this class isn't banking on him to come anyways. Right now, I have a sit back a watch mentality on this class. I have also read where he said that Nebraska has a great history at RB. Tell me the great ones that play RB in the NFL or even the great ones that have played at RB in the past 5-7 years at Nebraska.

What the hell does that mean?

You're getting awfully worked up over this kid...and there's really nothing to be getting so fired up over.

This is a guy who's extremely gifted, and has an opportunity to take his act to the next level....it's a big decision, and one that's probably tough to make without wavering from week to week or day to day. There are pros and cons to each of his choices, and he's naturally going to have some indecision. I don't see the sense in pissing and moaning over every little statement he makes.

My thoughts exactly. I like the kid, but I personally think it is just going to make us have a extremly crowded backfield. (Poole, Hardesty, Creer, Oku) all will be vouching for playing time.

DECEMBER 4, 2008. PREP STAR
JARVIS GILES, RB, 5-11, 175, 4.5, TAMPA (GAITHER), FLORIDA

Jarvis at one time was committed to Tennessee. Jarvis explains what he likes about South Carolina and Nebraska.

“Nebraska academics are good they have like a 96 percent graduation rate. I love the facilities, its top of the line. I’m mean everything was top of the line, nutrition, the food was great.” Giles said

“Their (Nebraska) fans are once in a life time,” Giles said, “I went to the Colorado game, and their fans were absolutely outrageous. The stadium was loud it felt like the stadium was vibrating. I was saying ‘oh my goodness I hope this is not happening.’” Was the weather cold for the game, being from Florida?

“Truthfully, I wasn’t really cold at all.” Giles said, “Like you would freeze there (Nebraska). Like you would need these extra coats and jackets. I’m like no man, I’m straight it’s not cold out here. You must be tripping.

Giles thoughts about the Husker’s winning 57 yard field goal

“A lot of recruits around me said he’s not going to make it. I could tell from his walk, he had a little swagger. I told them I think he’s going to make it.” Giles said

“Bo is coming in to visit this Sunday,” Giles said, “I like Bo he is funny. I hit it off pretty good. We sat down and talked on my visit. He’s a cool guy.”

“Coach Beck (Nebraska) is my recruiter, he’s a cool guy, and he’s nice, honest. You couldn’t ask more in recruiting.” Giles added

Early playing time

“Nebraska said I could play early, they showed me film. They said when I come in I would probably be third string and then try to work your way to first.” Giles said

“I’m leaving for Florida regardless; there is just nothing to do here. The schools are equal right now.” Giles commented about distance.

If Bo comes down this Sunday just blows you away would you consider (pick) Nebraska?

“Yea, I would. You got to look at it, he’s (Bo) coming down this way. I’m going to look at both head coaches, who offer’s me the best deal.” Giles said

“I liked South Carolina a lot I was down there for the Auburn game. I like the fan base, they get real pumped they love their football. It’s a football community. The facilities are great at South Carolina, academically they are good.” Giles said

“Either school I get early playing time. Coach Spurrier is a straight up guy. He said I work hard, good ethnics, and he told me to keep it up. I wouldn’t mind playing for either coach, I wouldn’t mind playing for Bo and I wouldn’t mind playing for Spurrier. ” Giles added

“Coach Spurrier is coming down tonight. I like Coach Spurrier, a lot of history, tradition behind him, he’s a good guy.” Giles said

Tennessee in the mix?

“Not really, the only reason why I’m considering Tennessee is because the running backs coach that is over there, but I’m going to narrow it down my choices Monday when I get all my home visits. It will probably be Nebraska and South Carolina. Then Tuesday I will have a little press conference at the school about 12 noon.” Giles said

Rivals has Oku rated #1 for a reason. I hope Eric Berry lays Giles out like he laid Knownone Moreno if they see each other on the field.

That means Giles got past your Dline and LB:p

Ever since Giles has made an indication that he won't go to UT yall have said stuff like "we're too crowded in the backfield anyway" , "Oku is better" haha. Then you go on bashing him more. Giles wants the playing time and a great coach and that's what he knows he's gonna get by going to USC. While it might not be true, I think Kiffin is just keeping Drayton around till Giles commits and I think Giles might see that.

From what I see, I think he is alot more pumped about Nebraska than either one of us. I think SC took a hit considering the guy recruiting him left SC.

If he doesn't come to UT, I do hope he goes to Nebraska. I do think it is funny how there are a couple of Nebraska posters on here whose sole purpose is to rile up the Vol posters about one recruit.

Every player should pick what's best for him. Everyone is better off when a player is happy with his choice.

If he's looking for the easy path to early playing time and is afraid he can't compete with the backs we already have than I don't blame him for going somewhere with less competition.

If he's interested in a pro career then he should go somewhere where the competition will push him to be the best he can be, and that has a history of producing NFL caliber backs.

Great coach huh?

So 7 win seasons is all it takes for USCe fans to consider you a great coach?

And before you go citing his past accomplishments as proof think about what you would be claiming...

Citing Spurriers work at UF as some sort of validation for USCe is like dating an 80 year-old grandmother and bragging about it because she was hot when she was 20

I hate to rag on an 18 year-old but this process really has made him look like an idiot...

But hey...I don't want to talk about how stupid I was at 18...I'm still recovering from some of the crap I pulled back then
