'27 TN RB David Gabriel Georges

[VolDC]

its be really unhealthy to be doing that much DL without other movements. while i disagree with the necessity to lift that heavy, it is good to shock muscles occasionally.

I agree, and I have also never met a powerlifter that cared about health over ego when it comes to how much they can lift.

My read, based on the combined reads of more plugged in folks:

Tennessee has positioned themselves to essentially be unable to be outbid due to Adidas NIL flexibility. (Similar to Keys recruitment) This last OSU move was last gasp to convince him to play for a bit less. Consensus from our media seems to be David is generational and staff views as worth the hefty investment.

Also, the UT influence at Baylor is just dialed up to an 11 right now, esp with Peyton’s kid around. He’d be swimming against a strong current to commit to OSU.

I could be totally wrong, and it could‘ve been the winners just putting a bow on this recruitment. Who really knows if money and external UT influence are big factors for the kid. But if you have it wrapped up, why pay to fly everyone down? Encouraged by VQ update, plus what I’m hearing from all channels.

Until VQ guys change their tune I feel good.

To me this feels like the Darnell Wright/David Sanders recruitments. Both to me always felt "destined" to end up in Knoxville. I think DGG follows suit.

This is one we all feel good about. Must keep grinding.

Ohio State fan here - I don’t know how other Ohio State fans feel, but I agree with another commenter that this feels a lot like the David Sanders recruitment.

The latest we’re hearing from our “insiders” is that the Buckeye coaching staff is heading to Canada to visit this kids extended family.

Our insider’s also opined that Ohio State probably wouldn’t be willing to, or able to outspend Tennessee for this DGG

Supposed to be top 3 in the country, time to start spending like it

How has that worked out in the past?

Per AP regarding commitment date

There will be no video with this kid… And nothing is done… But I still like where Tennessee is for the middle of May

 

[Jimmy Football]

Per AP regarding commitment date

Only the middle of May.

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

Only the middle of May.

Guess he doesn’t have a crystal ball for what will happen in 2 months. Sounds to me like a decision hasn’t been made yet

 

[DaddyChad]

I remember when the experts said Bryce Brown was the can't miss recruit, aah goodtimes..

Much like Nico that kid’s career was drastically altered by those around him. In retrospect we should’ve seen both coming. His dad selling a newsletter about where is kid was going to school. Nico’s dad might actually be the better human being compared to Bryce’s daddy.

Bryce was still good enough to get a look at the pro level.

 

[volfaninpa]

Per AP regarding commitment date

So the entire Ohio State coaching staff visit didn't move the needle very much.

I am fine with this development.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Per AP regarding commitment date

This is his way of saying he’s confident that he’s going to Tennessee without spoiling the kid’s moment.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Only the middle of May.

This is a grate poh-weent that shouldnt be lost in all this hubaloo.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

BOT truly believes DG is an elite must get but he will never back track and admit it. Just keepin up with his schtick at this point

He is definitely an elite player. A must get? Nope.

 

[UTK]

This kid been a vol lock for a year now tbh the OSU fear mongering is hilarious

I love the confidence .... whether your info is solid or not.

Whenever Tennessee has gone balls to the wall for a player in the NIL era (Nico, Sanders, Keys and Brandon) our track record is pretty good. We should be confident here.

I’m not sure why it’s even referred to as recruiting these days. Auction would be a more apt term.
