'22 JUCO S Marquise Gilbert (Auburn commit)

[AllVol11717]

If I had to guess Tank doesn’t start next year. He is just too slow. Him and Flowers are a liability in pass coverage. You can’t tell me our staff doesn’t see that.

Yeah I agree Tank probably doesn’t start next year except for in certain run sets. Just stuck between being too slow for safety and too small for linebacker.

Auburn.

What makes you think he goes to the barn?

Our terrible track record of recruiting against them

 

[Ron Swanson]

Our terrible track record of recruiting against them

That’s a myth. We recruit just fine vs them.

 

[Jimmy Football]

That’s a myth. We recruit just fine vs them.

And a lot of the losses were to RG.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

They have nothing to sell over us right now. They are down bad.

Tank is good in run and in short field formations. I almost think he could add 10-15 good pounds and play some pretty good linebacker for us. He is just to slow in big pass coverage situations. But he will pop you and plays real good in run support. GBO!

Sure doesn’t seem like it. Big reason why they are tied for #2 with Bama, and behind only Florida on my $&¡7 list.

Tank at the college level is like Landon Collins at the NFL level. Too slow to play safety, so just add some weight and play linebacker is certain sets.

Any news here

 

[buckfama]

I hope we land this guy. We need help at safety.

I agree, but things have gone completely silent here. There isn't any talk about any school after he released his top 3 really. Kinda weird.

Go on Auburn 247 and they say the same things about us

 

[landscapingvol]

Go on Auburn 247 and they say the same things about us

We had a terrible track record recruiting against RG not Auburn but that doesn't mean Auburn won't pay more than we do

It’s that Apple money

I actually don’t mind Auburn. We don’t play them every year and they are a thorn in the side to the Bammers.

I mind Auburn telling every recruit we wanted last class we were going to get an insanely long bowl ban. Really wanted Ro Terrence

Last Friday, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound prospect announced his top-three of Tennessee, Florida State and Auburn.

And on Tuesday, Josh Heupel made his way to campus to chat with Gilbert. He was accompanied by Tim Banks, Willie Martinez and Alex Golesh.

“It was good just to catch up with those guys following my official visit to see if I had any further questions or concerns. It was a great time to sit down and talk with them,” the target said of the in-person meeting. “They were just showing me the opportunity I could have and the vision they have for a guy coming in like me.”
“They love my range and size and know what I can bring to a defense,” the prospect said of the Vols. “When you recruit a JUCO guy, they want to get you on the field as soon as possible. It’s just a matter of me going in and earning it.”
“I just want to go ahead and get it done before Signing Day,” Gilbert said of his decision coming Monday. “I would be comfortable at Tennessee because I think it’s a good fit. There are great people there like coach Martinez, who is really a genuine guy.
“I don’t really need to know anything else about Tennessee.”

I like it.

 

[allvolrecruiting]

VQ said he is trending towards Auburn and FSU is trending up in his recruitment. Unfortunately, I don't think he ends up here. But if Auburn gets Gilbert, that should put us in a better position with Keionte Scott

 

[T2P_Priceless]

We really need a good safety that can supplant one of our average at best safeties

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Christian Charles will be one of them.

 

[PA Vol]

Venus still doing work for UT! Have we ever had a better transfer? Not Juco, transfer from another D1 program

Malik Jackson, also a transfer from USC, was a pretty great representative of UT while here and after.

Did VQ say this before or after Heupel & Co’s Tuesday night visit with him?

 

[Wickman]

Christian Charles will be one of them.

McDonald should be good too
