'17 GA ATH DeAngelo Gibbs

[85SugarVol]

Would be an awesome UOV just for the spectacle.

Yea, the spectacle. That's it.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Not trying to call you out, but that seems like a terrible recruiting venue.

No access to facilities and academic programs.
Limited, if any, contact with coaches & players.
Apparently takes hours to get out.

Anything more than a game in front of 150k?

He doesn't really want to know. He just needs to point out that Gibbs was at the UGA game

Kids like Hype. Bristol will be The game this weekend. I've seen a couple names that plan on going. It would be good for recruiting if they are allowed the good seats (some seats are 250 yds away if ball is on the other 1 yd line) and if they are allowed to shuttle the prospects (not sure on that one, probably not would be my guess). Tn is allowed to 'host' so maybe, recruits are not allowed in the locker rooms at neutral site games so not much hosting, but very good for hype with recruits.

My guess is that any prospects attending the game in Bristol are strictly on their own. They will not be provided tickets for special seating, they will be providing their own transportation in and out and will have little to no access to the team or coaches.

I believe the SEC had/has a rule that will allow prospective athletes tickets to neutral site games as guests of the school but travel is on their own dime, unless that's been repealed in the last few years.

This is the rule

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Has Gibbs said he will be at either of our games vs UF or Bama?

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

anyone have the scout update?

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

I didn't know there was a new one myself. I've looked into it a bit & found nothing. Maybe it hasn't happened yet or been delayed in posting.

No. 2 ATH DeAngelo Gibbs knows it is time for him to get serious about recruiting - Tennessee - Scout

sooooooooo anyone got it?

[Glitch]

Lol! First time someone has told me that on here. Thanks, troll!

You got any thoughts on Gibbs? It was all UGA, UGA, UGA for a while and then nothing. I really hope we can change his mind and swing him back to the good guys.

 

[Fingers]

"I really do have to change my approach now," said Gibbs about his recruitment. "It is really getting to crunch-time for me, I do not have too much more time to make my decision, and I have to get serious about it.


"I have had a lot of fun with this. I know it will still be fun to take my visits, but I have to truly evaluate schools, I have to look at things a little differently, and I have to find the school I will be spending the next three to four years at."

"I would say Miami and LSU are likely to get an official visit and I think I have to take one out to USC. Those are the main ones I have been thinking about lately.

"Tennessee may get an official visit, but Georgia will not," said Gibbs. "Georgia is right down the road from me, and I have been there 15 times over the summer, so I do not see a reason for me to visit them.

"I know everything about Georgia, I am close to their coaches, and I feel good about them.
"With Tennessee, they are a little farther away, so they might get one of my official visits. I have not decided yet. Like Georgia, I know a lot about them too.

"They make me feel very important, they are recruiting me hard, and I know I will be back up there soon."

Scout

 

[Mike4Vols]

Hmm. I don't get a lot of feels with those comments. Hard to read where he's at.

 

[sanddune50]

If the last comment is in reference to Tennessee that would provide a small glimmer of hope.

That's the way I took it. Thanks Fingers. Appreciate your service. :hi:

Have no idea. His comments in the latest article that fingers just posted makes it sound like all of those trips to Georgia are just for fun. Sounds like he has just been having fun taking a bunch of trips, and that's it. Who knows… I've given up trying to figure out what some of these kids are going to do.

There's only one way to feel after those comments - He gone

 

[KBVol]

sheesh

Yep, no Bueno.

 

[LA Vol]

The only thing I take from this is he has approached recruiting as a fun, once-in-a-lifetime experience and will take OVs to places he wants to visit and has not been-- Miami, LA and on the sidelines at Death Valley. Sounds to me like UGA and UT are the schools he's serious about and he feels comfortable at both. I don't get the sense that he has made his decision at all-- quite the contrary, IMO.

If Georgia struggles this year and Tennessee doesn't I think it definitely helps but knowing Eason is gonna be there and JG is unknown.. That may help UGA

Yep. I'm right there with you. I'm hoping he pulls the same stunt as Nigel and is just making UT fans sweat it out. We'll see in a few months I guess.

Why would who the QB is going to be have any effect on a DB?

A 2 point squeaker over Nichols State will do that...

Pretty much how anyone with above a 3rd grade reading level should take it.
