Kirby going out and getting his own Gibbs' cousin shows he learned a thing or two about recruiting all those years with Satan.

Top40 prospect Deangelo Gibbs (Loganville, Ga./Grayson) has mentioned several times before to Dawgs247 that while he has not eliminated any programs, the lure of the SEC might be too much to overcome in the end. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defensive back has been tied to Tennessee for some time, with his cousin Nigel Warrior signing with the Vols back in February.

Two weeks ago, Georgia added a transfer from Tulsa in defensive back JR Reed.

"Of course, everyone knows by now, that J.R. Reed is my cousin," Gibbs said. "He is a great athlete, player, student, and person. I know he is going to go in and work hard."

Gibbs immediately noted that he is not locked into any school.

"How is he going to affect me going to Georgia? I have a cousin at Tennessee as well, so you never know," said Gibbs. "At the same time, both of schools might not be my first choice. I have other schools who are recruiting me very hard, so my options are still wide open."

The top-ranked prospect in the Peach State admitted that he has a strong relationship with the Reed family.

"We are really close," Gibbs said. "JR knows the game really well and he works very hard to get the job done. I congratulated him on the great opportunity for him and his family at Georgia. Jake is like my second dad. I work out with them every summer."

Gibbs has been putting in extra work this summer to add enough credits to graduate early. That could result in the process accelerating somewhat.

"It will have to come soon," Gibbs said. "I have to narrow down my top schools real soon because I do not have as much time as other guys. I do not have an exact date or timeframe, but maybe during my season."

Some have speculated that because of his size, Gibbs could end up playing somewhere other than cornerback in college.

"Only the coaches can decide whether I play cornerback or safety - that is up to the coaches," Gibbs said. "I am up for whatever because, at the end of the day, I just want to get on the field."

One thing Gibbs has noticed is how well the Bulldogs' coaching staff has done on the recruiting trails since coming on board.

"Georgia is getting a lot of top recruits - they are getting everybody," Gibbs said. "They are trying to build a dynasty over there, so I know what they are doing. Kirby Smart and Mel Tucker are great recruiters, great coaches, and great men."

I wonder if a Chase Hayden would be recruiting hard for us if he were a take? Ah, what should have been.

Would love to have Gibbs in the boat. Sounds like there's significant work to do.

I've been frustrated with this class kind of from the beginning. Butch has a track record though, and it is July. Time to just sit back, enjoy the season, and see what actually happens this winter.

So far, this class doesn't have any vocal leaders. Not sure we're even in on any that are ready to commit.

Everything comes down to winning 10+ games this season. If Butch can coach the talent we currently have then we should get 10 wins no problem. If not, then this program may be in trouble.

Nah, Gruden will step in and bring Tee as OC. Then Higgins, Rogers and Clemson's whole class will de commit and come back here.

I've never really been much for putting posters on ignore, but your head is so far up your own ass that you caused a black hole of all thought and discussion to emerge when you went so far up in there you tore the fabric of reality.

That's an interesting take on my post in regard to Hayden and Gibbs helping recruit. LOL

Man, if Butch misses on Gibbs as well as Higgins.....long way till NSD but after the Higgins debacle Gibbs is a need more than ever. We really do need to win more games this year. Steady improvement isn't enough. A 9-3 record will not cut it. 10-2 and Atlanta at the absolute worst has to happen.

We lose too much after this season. This is the year. Got to be firing on all cylinders.

Any updates in Gibbs other than he loves GAs current recruiting class.

I was told earlier in this thread that Georgia has no chance and that Gibbs is a Vol and always has been a Vol. Gibbs is keeping a very low profile with his recruitment so I don't know what the basis is for those absolute type statements. As a rule of thumb, when it comes to recruiting it's a good idea to think in terms of the staff locking down your state and then taking swings for out of state kids, knowing that there will be some misses on some out of state kids.

It would probably be smart to keep in mind that Gibbs has publicly said that he didn't have a dream school growing up. He was born and raised in Georgia. His best friend and teammate is Breon Dixon; a Georgia commit. His cousin JR Reed; who he trained with in Dallas for the past five or six years, just committed to Georgia. Gibbs considers JR Reed's dad; Jake Reed, a second father figure. He has publicly said he loves Kirby and Mel Tucker. Add it all up and it likely means that Georgia is still in this one. If he signs with Tenn then my hats off to Butch and his staff, because the facts I just listed are a lot to overcome for any coach.

Finally there are the academics; and I'm not sure which school Gibbs is favoring academically. His mom and family in general are very big on academics and I expect that will play a big role in his recruitment; and could swing things towards one school or another.

Too many people on here don't want to admit that Kirby Smart is a good recruiter. It would help if we beat them in Athens.

I'd say UGA is in the lead based on your post
