Didn't want to start a new thread on this fabulous thought, but since it's established that Gibson is one if best QB prospects in the history of ever...if it's true that a transfer is taking HIS job, shouldn't we get an offer out for that kid MUY PRONTO?

I mentioned that a day or 2 ago. No one seemed to take it seriously. :)

So if everyone was buying the Doug Mathews news of "6" silent commitments and it being a "full class" this year, is everyone buying that Gibson will not be a part of the 2015 class?

Maybe the Dormady's met with CBJ this weekend and figured out who would be taken at QB and or play at QB. Maybe the chance at getting Gibson was not worth losing Dormady?

Let The Debate! :popcorn:

I don't expect it to be an issue on either side. But Im certainly not willing to lose Dormady in order to get Gibson. I don't think CBJ would be either.

Still can be a part of this class. Ath or WR maybe. Either way is a good thing for the University of Tennessee. Go Vols!

I was actually alright with him being a take at WR if they could fit him in. Someone posted news that Doug Mathews said UT would not be taking anymore QBs for 2015 or QBs who may play another position.

Doug Mathews is pretty wired to the UTAD, particularly the football staff and program. When he makes a statement like this, he only does so with information that he has on hand. Sure things could change, but Doug usually does not make such statements off of the cuff. The bottom line is that he is right about this kind of information the majority of the time.

Doug cut through the chatter and isn no uncertain terms said that Butch does not want to risk losing the QBs that he already has committed to Tennessee and that he has better options available at WR that are hooked and on the line.

It doesn't matter to me where he plays. I want him on this football team. Hard to find individuals his size with his speed and playmaking ability. I think if he does spend his birthday in Knoxville, he leaves committed to UT.

I think he is a great athlete, but which of our committed or WRsPreston Williams, Joc Broce would you dump? There is a lot of value in committed players who invest in your program and help recruit other players over guys who drag you to the finish line and may not even come to your school.

Do you take Gibson over WR Van Jefferson, who is thought to be a hard lean to Tennessee? Not me.

Evidently Doug Mathews does not believe Butch will either.

Gibson over everythang!!!!!




J/K I honestly have no idea and that's why I'm not paid to make those decisions. I would be excited with Gibson or Jefferson.

Reading the articles from the TOSs about yesterday's commitments made it seem like Smith and Picou made the decision to commit yesterday and hadn't been silents. I think Matthews was just wrong on the number of silents and was backtracking today

VQ also said there were articles of future Vols. I think there are a couple out there. McKenzie is definitely one. I think after that quote, Jefferson is. Possibly Ordway.

If Dormady were to bolt just because we land Gibson then that shows a fear of competition and we don't need him if thats the case. I fully expect if Gibson does come to UT for there to be a 3 way competition at QB. Neither TG, JJ or QD should be afraid.

Completely agree.
Tells me that if that were to happen he was never committed.

I doubt it would have anything to do with being "afraid". It would have to do with not wanting to be part of a logjam at QB if a coach tries and take 3 in 1 year. WarMachine took the time to look back at previous UT classes. 1 time in about a dozen years UT took 3 and that 1 time Nash Nance was the 3rd guy(to get Da'Rick). I would not blame a kid a second for not wanting to walk into that sort of deal IF he decided not to.

The crazy thing is IMO Dormady holds all the cards now. When your the most talented QB coming in, I doubt the coach is going to do something to lose you. We'll see.

How can you say that Dormandy is the most talented already? Lets move them up in competition and then judge them. Some kids have it and some don't.

Agree?
