Max Gilbert

[AndyMizunogolfer]

Max is ranked 88th on FG % for 2025. Oddly enough the PSU kicker is ranked #1. Sounds like a good time for Knowles to have a discussion with a kid he has at least some background with.

Is he gone yet?

I wish.

 

[MiramarVol]

He’s finished here. It’s between his ears. The moment is too big for him.

He'd do great at Carson-Newman.

Somebody buy Max a bus ticket to chattanooga

I think this is 100% a spot we look to fill in the portal. Gotta get someone who’s made big kicks. I feel for Max but we had chances for multiple wins this year if had more ice in his veins

 

[Behr]

Wish the kid the best life has to offer him. He tried.

Its a shame he hurt grown men's feelings so bad some resort to acting like asswipes.

That definitely qualifies for a Spock-like, one-upraised-eyebrow look.

Yep. Has the physical ability but he’s just not mentally equipped.

The sad thing is many posting fans are far less productive in their lane than he was in his but continue to demand their free speech rights and a Vol card.

Hope he does not stoop down to their level on his way out the door.

Probably the best thing for all parties

 

[Godfatha]

Wish him luck.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Unless he plays us. Then I hope all his kicks are 39 yard misses

Boom!

It's official. Thank you sweet baby Jesus.

This is proof that a lot of these guys are either told to hit the portal or recruited over.

Unfortunately college sports are a straight up performance based business. You have to take personal emotion out of the mix.

Is it right for fans to take this to the next level with personal attacks? Never. Although these kids are being paid fairly decent at this point. Heck most making well over what the majority of this board are going to make in a year. So I don't feel terrible for them either.

I'm surprised he found it!

 

[Daniel_Lincolns_Foot]

he tried entering the portal the minute it opened, but missed to the right.

 

[OldandStillaVol]

We should probably rely on portal entirely for kickers and punters and forego recruiting from high schools. Mental toughness is just too hard to assess in 18 year olds.

 

[VolArmy74]

Good for us and him. He couldn't take the pressure of kicking at this level and after the bowls his make percentage was 109th in CFB. That's unacceptable.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Best wishes to the young man. Yes he had some rough games, but the young man kept running out there. Things just didn’t work out. A fresh start for him and us may do wonders.

I’m retired now so it doesn’t matter but nobody was paying $200 for a ticket to watch me in my “lane”. And I was pretty dang productive over a 47 year career. These are paid pros now. If they don’t like criticism, find something else to do. Not going to listen to any about the poor little pros getting criticized.

 

[brockytop]

Hey Max, sure wish you’d entered the portal LAST YEAR.

Gagger.
