Why Dillon Gabriel didnt follow

[KnoxCentral92]

Why didn't Gabriel follow CJH. Not recruited? He knew offense and had best yr under CJH. Did we not offer. I know he belittled Hype. Was he butt hurt?

seemed a bit bitter at Heupal at the time as I recall

Is that the same Dillon Gabriel that just lost to Ohio St ?

 

[The Original Fade]

Weak arm

I'm wondering the same thing. How in the hell did I not know that?

Yep, the very same

Is that the same Dillon Gabriel that just lost to Ohio St ?

And the same who left UCF for Oklahoma then Oregon.

 

[SGMVols]

Heupel made a promise to UCF when he left that he would not take any of their scholarship players as transfers to UT.

Only one he took was Gaston Moore but he was not on scholarship there or here.

 

[knox73]

Don‘t forget Charlie Browder. He as well as Gaston really helped the overall squad.

Yes, but thou shalt not call the kettle black....

To be fair, he also got Venables 10 wins and extended his stay in Norman.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

And the same who left UCF for Oklahoma then Oregon.

He was encouraged to leave OU because they had Jackson Arnold. This was after leading them to 10 wins and a 30/6 ratio. How’d that workout ?

He also threw for 30/6 this season. He’s a very good quarterback.

And tied the record for most touchdown passes in a career, but Vol Nation will remember him for losing to Ohio State while memory holing Nico’s loss.

 

[KnoxCentral92]

Look at his film under Hypes last year. The film of that offense is what got me excited we got Hype. I know it was against lesser talent,but he can play.. Think if he came here,and played the 3 yrs he was eligible we would be saying who's gonna replace him. I would take a 4th year starter in him over a 2nd yr Nico.

Had Oklahoma kept him I really don't know if we beat them this year. They probably win 3 more games than they did. Kids a really good QB that can win games.

 

[KnoxCentral92]

I would take him over Sanders,Ward and whoever 3rd

Wait until after his second year to say that. Burrow, Hurts, Spencer Rattler, Hendon Hooker, and Levis all made big jumps their second year. Would I have preferred to have Gabriel all along? Yes, you skip the learning curve of hookers first year.
Edit: maybe not Levis lol

I’d imagine we wouldn’t have. Arnold was horrible in that game.

Which is how it should be.

You don't think if Gabriel had stayed you would have won?

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

I imagine we, as in Tennessee, wouldn’t have won if Gabriel had stayed at OU, because Arnold was horrible in that game. Arnold being horrible was the biggest reason we won, so if Gabriel had stayed, I doubt we would have won.

Gotcha. I'm waiting for us to get flamed as OK fans lol

 

[Okie]

Gabriel went to OU to play for Jeff Lebby, who he had done well with at UCF. Gabriel had an injury, IIRC, which caused him to miss time at UCF. OU had no one in the QB huddle who would have been anywhere near as good as Gabriel when they got him.

Rumor is that Gabriel got a huge chunk of change from Oregon that OU didn't feel they could justify and pay what they needed to keep Arnold. A lot of discussion on the OU boards about whether Gabriel could have done much better with the poor Oline and all receivers being hurt.

Yeah I think he tore his ACL if I'm not mistaken

I didn’t realize he was asked to leave OU. That didn’t work out well at all for them.
