In response to a couple of posts in the last few pages... the following strikes me as common sense, but I'll say it anyway.
I think there's a certain level of football player that Jones continues recruiting even when that player's position is technically 'full'. Adoree was in that class last year; even though we were set at WR and CB, we still made every effort to get him.
The staff seems to be treating Gibson as if he is on that level this year, regardless of the can-he-can't-he noise going on in this thread. I don't know their plans for him any better than any of you do, but the coaches clearly want him in orange.
As for the numbers... there are any number of things that can ease that crunch between now and February. It may even work itself out; as much as I like our class so far, I really doubt that every one of our current commits will sign on the dotted line come NSD. So don't sweat it so much.
