Sergeant Vol, you can look through all my posts and you won't see one where I say that I don't want TG to be a Vol. Nice try though. I would love to have him on the roster. But if his character issues are bad enough for Urban Meyer and other SEC coaches to back off on recruiting him, then no thanks.
Like Sarge and King????
But I do think it's at least possible that Tennessee ultimately could back off Gibson. It's a somewhat tricky situation for the Vols, considering that Gibson is involved with a number of their other current targets, and completely backing off Gibson might leave a sour taste in the mouths of some of the guys he knows. But I would not consider him one of UT's top targets at this point, if that makes sense.
Enlighten me with your words of wisdom what this statement means other than we are slowly backing off, all knowing ones
You have still yet to answer the part about the sour taste of backing off. He is CLEARLY IMPLYING we will be backing off. No longer a top target meams he won't be pursued as hard. When you're not pursued as hard, it means we backed offSince when does "Its at least possible" mean we will for sure? It means its possible but not necessarily likely. You are the psychic apparently. Since you know "its at least possible" means definitely.
Him and Hubbs are experts. Neither said we are for sure backing off or for sure we are not still at the top of his list. People did the same with Ferguson reports. Twisted them to fit their narrative. Instead of going by with what they say they want to read a bunch of extra nonsense into it.

Sure if you say so. Most people think "its at least possible" means there is a chance but not exactly likely. I saw the sour taste part. Also not a sure thing since he said "MIGHT leave a sour taste". Its more telling that he is involved with so many of our recruits. And maybe he isn't at the very top of the list now. That doesn't mean we backed off or don't want him. I'm sure he is behind KM, Richmond, Sapp and a couple more due to needs and having 2 qbs. That doesn't mean we would turn him or away or don't want him.
Keep reading more into what they say than is there though. Just don't be surprised when Gibson commits.
They are backing off because he is a silent commit.
Don't think so. Butch is bringing in as much talent as possible but he also recruits to player profile as he refers to it. According to Swain today, after TGs 5 day stay in Kville a couple weeks back we may have cooled ob him because he perhaps doesn't exactly fit the profile in terms of his "intangibles". Tifwiw.
This thread is pure effing gold.. I haven't been this well entertained on VolNation since the Gruden thread(s).
The Old Yeller comment was awesome, thanks butchna...
Dear Lord, what have I missed today being offline due to meetings? I am going to go back and get caught up, but does anyone have a 1 minute cliffs notes version of todays events?
Matts42012 posts a smiley face in the middle of the night in Gibson's thread (like he's done before when he knows a recruit will be a Vol)
VN starts to party like its 1998 because of this news.
Around 11 a.m., Hubbs and Callahan both drop nukes simultaneously, saying that we are not recruiting TG as hard as most think and that we may not even lead.
Leb/Butchna/Tux parties like its 1998
The TG thread then diverts back into the dumpster fire/pissing match status that it usually is
95% of VN abandons thread again
Hope I helped :hi:
