'15 FL QB/WR/DB (anything he wants) Torrance Gibson

[TriCitiesVol]

Ok say perhaps, TG calls Butch tomorrow and says that he wants to commit to be a WR at UT. Van Jefferson is still undecided. Obviously you take TG's commitment. Do you still pursue and push for Van?

I would, but Bruce would be in danger.

We need to get a qb in 2016. We'd be in the same situation as today in 2018 if we didn't.

If we redshirt our 2015 qb and then get another in 2017, we will be fine.

IDK. You ideally don't want to risk being forced into a situation like we were in last year if you have injuries, transfers, etc.

If we're gonna do that number.... Keep Bruce, cut ties with our other slot WR.

@SBNRecruiting: Even Tennessee giving up on recruiting Torrance Gibson at QB? Weren't they the big school the most adamant about letting him play QB? #Vols

Not sure where he's getting this, but he is at The Opening.

@Ben_Fred: .@RyanCallahan247 says #Vols still recruiting T. Gibson, but chance of him playing QB at UT is slim. Likely ends up elsewhere if set on QB.

You would seriously hold out for van?

Butch recruited him at wr with an understood opportunity to play qb.

If he is absolutely committed to play qb in college why in the world waste time with wrs running routes and getting coached up?

We wouldn't be. We'd have Dobbs, Peterman, and 3 redshirts.

Peterman. Peterman.....

Networking, connections...I mean I would not turn down a free trip out to the Nike Campus. Bets are that he will make his mark playing WR. I agree with that assessment as well, especially if he wants to make it in the league. But he is his own man and has to play the position that he is happiest playing.

Safe to say no one can say what Butch is doing with the Gibson recruitment besides CBJ and Gibson. The others all have conflicting information.

There is no doubt that TG is a phenomenal athlete and a play maker. The big question is what position would he make his biggest impact on the field? I think he would an awesome WR and with some work could be a decent DT QB. Look at Nick Marshall as an example I think TG would be a better QB than him in my opinion.

Trent Dilfer thinks he's Heisman candidate with a couple years practice.

Yes, because I actually think he will be coming here. Nsd is in 8 months.

Just got off the phone with the Grude-ster...

Said CBJ is gonna run a split backfield with Dormady to the left and TG6 to right.

The formation will have a play where the O-line blocks right, TG6 takes the snap and breaks right then tosses back to QD who 2 seconds later drops one in TG6's breadbasket as he streaks down the sideline into the checkerboards.

They're gonna call it....

TG -Wish-bone 6, Y-Banana Split

Butch probably knows that TG is headed to JUCO anyway because of grades, so he and TG keeps us in positive headlines in the mean time. Since TG is such a "look at me" hound Butch can play him throughout the recruiting process and hopefully through his 2 years at JUCO.

We all want talented players in Orange. A lot of us would just rather use the scholarship on a position of need and on a kid who will actually make an impact at his position and not be an "issue" for our Vols.

You're stuck on the *'s and that's alright. I'm just glad our coaches are not. :thumbsup:

If we are gonna use schollies on a punter and a long snapper, surely we could sacrifice one for one of the best athletes in the country.
