Anyone else think Butch wants this to happen today to offset the Amari to Clemsom talk that's about to happen?

No

DG is the typa player that will put us over Bama. I really think this class can and willbe elite

Hopefully we get a Gibbs commitment today to counter the Rodgers Clemson commitment.

Kinda feel like the OL guy from Cali might commit today instead.

Would be nice and def outshine that move for sure. It didn't seem like Gibbs was going to do anything early in an interview last week but they aren't always upfront with media.

How'd Gibbs visit go?

"Heard it went well. We are trying to get him on the phone for some quotes but haven't been able to yet. But, I think things are heading in the right direction there.

UGA though they were close to snagging an early commitment about six weeks ago but I think Tennessee's in a pretty good spot right now."

Gibbs, Stevens, Bonds all 6-2+. That's a big secondary class

just spoke with five-star db deangelo gibbs, who visited tennessee again this weekend. It was his second visit with the vols in the past three weekends, and he said it was a bit of an impromptu trip that wasn't planned until late in the week.

Gibbs said he went with just his mother this time - he wasn't accompanied by his cousin, tennessee db signee nigel warrior - but he once again spent plenty of time with the vols' coaches and current players, including safety todd kelly jr., cornerback cam sutton and running back alvin kamara. Gibbs said he once again enjoyed himself, as he always does in knoxville.

He said the fact that warrior signed with the vols might give them a little bit of an edge, but that won't necessarily be a major factor in his decision. He always has been interested in attending the same school as warrior, and he said warrior has made it clear that he would like to have them play together again at tennessee. But that's not a requirement in gibbs' mind, and he said he's definitely open to other schools.

Gibbs said he's not sure when he might make it back to tennessee, but he's planning to visit georgia next weekend, and he's hoping to make it to florida, auburn and lsu soon. Right now, he's not planning to make a decision until signing day next year.
We'll have a full story on gibbs in the morning.

I think he's downplaying the whole Warrior situation IMO

 

[InVOLuntary]

Darn! I was hoping this guy might commit and lead the charge.

I do too but man we can't afford him waiting until NSD if he knows where he wants to go. We need an alpha male a part of this class and he looks like he could be it.

So they basically thought taking Dixon would get Gibbs. It wouldn't shock me to see Gibbs and Dixon both to TN. Think Kirby eventually lets dixon walk since he isn't a fit in his defense

Is that about when Dixon committed? How's his relationship with Dixon any deeper than Warrior I wonder? Or is Kirby just a smidge on the dumb side?

Well, Johnson did say he was gonna be our biggest recruiter and then the next day decommitted and committed to Clemson the next day.

Dumb side. Warrior is much bigger deal

I shouldn't have looked at 2017 team rankings....

Ohio State has ten, 4- and 5-star commitments. Bama has seven.
Freaking North Carolina has four, 4 stars.

lol pretty much.

 

[engineerVOL]

I am curious if Butch's M.O. has shifted this year where he's said "um nah" to a lot of marginal 3-star guys already.

Star position in Shoop's Fire Zone

I'd hope his athleticism is used more at Free Safety/Strong Safety. Let him roam and make plays.
