Isnt the biggest "problem" with him is no one really seems to know where he'd play? What his position would be?

Where does this kid rank on your wants list? If I'm being honest, and maybe this isn't smart, but I wouldn't lose sleep if he signed elsewhere.

Everyone knows where he will play in college even auburn. Kid will be a de in college. For some reason he's set on OLB though.

I personally think he should be an OLB in college. His frame is much more suited to play there. I just cant figure out why our staff went from being hot on him in the early spring to so cold on him for 2-3 months and now they are back on him big-time???

That doesn't make a lot of sense. Anderson was still committed to LSU and wasn't even on the radar when it first started being reported that the staff had backed off on Jibunor. And now they are picking things back up with him while Anderson is now uncommitted and taking visits.

Unless, UT finally decided to take Jibunor as an OLB, since they thought AA could be the elite high school DE that they need in this recruiting class. Maybe?

Maybe the kid could've been insistent on playing at OLB and UT would rather pass than take someone at a position they wouldn't be happy at.

i still don't get why we wouldn't want him as an OLB...it's not like we don't need any LB's. we only have 1 in this class currently, and our LB situation is still fairly unproven, and a bit thin.

For whatever reason, the staff doesn't like him at LB. They want him solely at end and are being very upfront about it

well, if you project to the NFL, 4-3 DE is a good spot to be in from a financial standpoint...i'm sure that's part of the sell, if they're that enthused about him being a DE.

but it doesn't explain the shortfall we have at LB.

we need some LB recruits to start matching the hype of some of these other positions we seem to be doing really well in. with the way we have recruited DL, i'm not sure why we can't get LB's to come play here....by all rights, we should be able to see LB's WANTING to come play behind some of the guys that are going to be up front here.

or maybe we just think we're gonna be so good up front, LB's aren't as much a priority. who knows.

Btw, those TDs receptions were made because he is a WR on offense. What's my point? If he is fast enough to play WR, he is fast enough to play OLB and almost too fast to play DE. Of course, I said almost and I'm sure, once he was beefed up for DE, he might lose some speed. I'm sure UTs coaches know what they want and more about football than I do, I just would like to see this kid reeking havoc on the football field like those 90s LBs. Raynoch, Westmoreland and Wilson are 3 that come to mind. Even Little, maybe the coaches could do the same for Jibunor and let him play LB for a couple of years and then move him to DE his senior year and let him become a millionaire in the NFL

Yo, Dog, how much are you getting to continually promote this kid?

just saying, but I come to this thread just to see what you've most recently posted raving about this kid. :clapping:

I hope he makes the cut for your sanity. LOL

How can you even mention Little?
He played his best at de in fact moving him to mlb his last year on the hill was a disservice to him. He was lost at times as a lb and not nearly as effective as he was at de

Yeah, u are right, when I fall in love with a player's talent I can go on and on. So, I promise not another word unless some good news is reported on Jibunor's recruitment.

Fearsvols, I may have that whole Little scenario backwards, I thought they moved him to DE after playing LB to let Wilson run sh!t from MLB. My bad, I had to look it up and u were exactly right. Man, I'm getting old and/or all the weed is finally catching up with me. Thanks for correcting me. Your are right, they should have never moved him.

Now, I'm done commenting on Jibunor until we hear some good news.
