'11 FL LB Gionni Paul

Rivals has Lateek Townsend listed at 6'1 197.

I just dont believe that the staff wont take him because of his size, he would easily add 15 lbs to his frame.

Rico Mcoy wasnt even 5'10.

The latest from Hubbs...

VQ poster: does UT slowing down on Paul mean we have a good shot at Dawson?

Hubbs: I don't know that it means they have a better shot at Dawson, but they clearly aren't ready to do anything with Paul at this time.

If Moore is 6'1" as listed, Paul looks to be about 5'11"..

I think he'll be a VOL... Nothing to base it on except my lack of faith in the 'rumor mill'...

He's going to blow up in the O&D all star game....if UT doesn't take his commit about an inch or two in height then he won't be around after his upcoming visits. The kid is a clone of Jon Beason. He cooled on Aubbie for UT but they may take the lead after his visit.

I don't understand it either. Didn't Hubbs say something about Silent Night when asked about Marcus Jackson and Paul? Could it be that he spoiled the announcemnt for Paul and is trying to backtrack so it's still sort of a surprise for some people?

It doesn't make sense for our staff to not take a player of Gionni's caliber. We have taken commits from players with a lot less talent at their respective positions. Although I don't think our staff is slow playing Gionni, they'll take him if he commits. That's just my opinion though.

People need to chill and let things play out...

Don't turn this into several pages of panic...

In the picture, Moore is kind of slouching and paul is standing very upright. Heck he could be like 5' 10".

Maybe I'm just being an optimist but until I hear something concrete I refuse to believe the staff turned a commitment from him away. I think he is just waiting to go public. Flame away if you wish

Let me pull my flamethrower out... nah man, this is exactly what I thought.

Seriously doubt them turning him away because of his height either... What is Nick Reveiz anyways? 5'9?

I think on a very good day Nick is like 5'7 or 5'8. Lol thanks for keeping the flamethrower away :salute:

No problem.

I'd say he is 5'9 when he wakes up, maybe 5'8 mid day, and 5'7 at night. Regardless, Paul is taller than Reveiz.

Maybe the staff has someone better in mind at LB? (This is really the only positive way I can look at them turning Paul away... If it is true... Which I doubt.)

Agree on this part. That is the only scenario I could reasonably see us not taking Paul in. It just makes no sense to go to all the trouble to recruit him and then last second drop him.

Based on my experience in recruiting, it could be about the height OR the way he conducted himself during the visit.

Recruiting visits can get pretty crazy as far as partying and whatnot.

We had a recruit that before, during, and after the festivities did not conduct himself like he should have when he visited.

In turn he was not offered a scholorship.

Granted this is on a smaller scale then what we are talking about here with a major program, but the coaches will talk to the hosts and everyone else and get a feel for the players to.

Please dont take this as me saying a bad word about Gionni Paul, but simply that there are several factors when you bring a player in that you learn about outside of the gametape and the telephone calls.

I just cant imagine wiht the coaching staff who has seen the tape and everything else can see the size of a kid like this and cool on him.

Again, not saying anything about Paul, but just speaking in general terms based on what I have seen before.
