'17 GA ATH DeAngelo Gibbs

It's not like our roster is stocked full of 5 star guys... Mostly 3 and 4, yet we have competed with the team's who have been top 10 or 5 recruiting over the past 5-7 years.

Now I want to get the best players available and win the recruiting perspective of many too, but the fact is our team has overperformed, over developed from their star ratings and our coaches have done an amazing job of spotting talent.

I don't know why people bring up the last 5-7 years of recruiting by our opponents. Only 22 players can be on the field at any time.

While we may not have 4 elite classes on campus like Alabama, we do have 2 elite classes. And the bulk of our two deep is built of players from these two top 5 classes.

Butch isn't outcoaching anybody. He has elite talent on both sides of the ball.

Playing right into our hands. We're planning on him getting tired of spending so much time in Athens, that's when we strike.

007 style? Double secret agent making sure other recruits stay on track to Tn, could be, put him in the golf cart with Owen Pappoe tomorrow as he's in Athens too.

You have to come up with an agent name for DLo tho, DLo is not a secret agent name.

I'm going to call him 4813.

That's the UT-UGA score this year. Vols win 48-13. Boom!
 
Question for Amazing Grace... why would we not have talented players knocking at the door if we win lots of games? I don't understand your train of thought there. 5 star talent wants to win games.
 
Guarantano,Kirkland,McKenzie,Tuttle,Williams,Byrd,Richmond,Phillips,Gaulden,Taylor et al, are all leaving after this year? :eek:hmy:

If Butch can't win with all those guys plus Dobbs, Hurd, Kamara, Barnett, JRM, and Sutton, what makes you think he can win without em?

2016 is the most talented team he'll have in the near future, he better win with them. Otherwise this while thing spirals out of control.

No sh*t Sherlock. How many times have we heard you say, "he gone" in every recruit's thread? That's all you're ever good for is being an negative ass hat who's incredibly annoying.

Liked. Man, you realize "he gone" is a joke. A bad joke, but still a joke.
 
We ARE losing out on just about all the top targets thus far, and yes, Gibbs-- he gone... only way we swing him back is the have the season most expect and beat the puppy snot out of the dawgs. Not being a Negavol if its just the facts... this class could end up with a couple of really good players in Akers, Gibbs, etc, but we need to WIN. Sucks, but it is what it is...

You obviously have not been keeping up with the thread. If you did you would understand the context of those questions which were a response to your friend Butchna who was claiming the talent on hand for 2017 will be enough to build the hype like 2016.

You said all of OUR talent is LEAVING after this year. "Enough" and "hype" is part of your tired and oft repeated refrain. :) Your team's board even miss you? :)

I just mean I don't think on field results is the most important factor to most of those guys.

Our 14 & 15 classes prove that. If Butch can recruit at an elite level only selling playing time & tradition, what's holding back last years class & this years when we have a ton of national attention & hype building the program up?

What the hell changed here with Gibbs from January to now? Was he not here with players acting pretty comfortable and happy - looked to be a future VOL for sure. Then out of the blue Georgia comes Zooming in, his cousin chooses them over us, and now it looks like we are suddenly on the outside looking in. Kirby must be one hell of a recruiter- kind of wishing we had that now. I thought Butch could recruit but for whatever reason, not this year. Elite players are going anywhere else but Tennessee. I get Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson having such success with their championships and championship appearances- but GA??? What the hell have they won of substance LATELY? Nothing. Nothing. And Nothing. I hope their season is a complete disaster or we are in for a mess dealing with Kirby year in and year out.

I believe something is wrong. I mean we all know schools like OSU, bama, and Clemson are destroying us. The scary thing is seeing some other schools with more 4* commits than we do...

Washington, Maryland, Nebraska, Penn St to name a few.

Georgia always recruits well, especially kids from Georgia. We will still get very good players from Georgia and I think we still get Gibbs. It's a long time until the int Wednesday in February.
 
Is Gibbs set to announce soon or is he waiting until after the season- hopefully he is waiting and that will help us if the team takes care of their business. But with all of his visits to GA lately and another one coming, kind of sounds like he might go ahead and commit. Hope not. Paging OV.....
