'25 GA EDGE Isaiah Gibson (uga commit)

[jvols1999]

There is absolutely no scenario where UGA is paying more. The question is does he take pretty significantly less to go there?

Think Chaz Lanier and basketball recently.

The key word here is significantly. I’d all caps that word…

Pick: Georgia
The nation’s No. 1 defensive lineman was back at Georgia two weekends for an unofficial and the intel continues to favor the Bulldogs. Griffin continues to keep a keen eye on places like USC and Miami as well.

- Chad Simmons

Pick: Gerogia
The Bulldogs got Gibson back on campus over the weekend and sources indicate the in-state power is in strong position. Tennessee remains the darkhorse with a couple others in play.

Just an interesting about face you've taken with regards to speculation on things people aren't 100% certain on...spreading misinformation as you've termed it previously.

The misinformation part in regards to Chaz was from posters misconstruing what the insiders were saying in terms of our NIL offer not being competitive in which that was never once said by our insiders, some thought we gave him a weak offer based on what was said but the reality was while we had the lowest offer it was still very competitive…some ppl have trouble with context.

Also in regards to Gibson we have no clue how much less of an NIL offer was made by Georgia’s collective, it could be significant or it could be like 20k less. Who knows… but let’s not act like we don’t have a legion of miserable on this board during the Chaz Lanier recruitment that loved to stir up negativity through misinformation when they got the chance..

Fascinating

Except I would not use the term “significantly less” in regards to Chaz Lanier and his NIL contract it wasn’t his highest offer but it was competitive

NM - Incorrect info

 

[SoullessGinger32_]

I am not as dialed in on hoops but I was under impression it was multiple 6 figures different from his 2nd highest offer and over 500k less than his best.

I’d call that significant lol.

so we offered more money and more playing time obviously. If Kirby can close that just because of in state I'll respect that. Staff did everything they could

I think it was like 200-300k difference from the highest offer when our insider posted the numbers but state taxes etc come into play with those other offers.

Idk I work with contracts all the time so your definition of significant could be different than mine. Also ours apparently had bonuses like in Knecht’s contract

 

[bigl3327]

I mean after 2 years his replacement will already be on the team. In 2 years, either he's a stud, or he's looking for a fresh start. If he's a stud, I doubt that he goes anywhere because he will be draft eligible the next year.

This is similar to what I mentioned in the David Sanders thread. 5*s are going to have a market value. That's just the game now. A kid wanting to get his estimated market value doesn't mean he's coming here just for the money. If all other factors are pretty equal, with the exception of how respective schools value a recruit monetarily, then that can be the deciding factor.

I have no insider information on Chaz was just following like a fan so you may be more accurate.

I don’t recall anyone on the basketball board claiming that we didn’t offer a “competitive” NIL deal to Lanier and instead offered a “weak” one, but I’m certainly open to being proven otherwise if you have specific posts to reference. People understood our offer was more than reasonable. Most just also understood it wasn’t going to be the highest.

 

[Ericvol2096]

I've got this off the rails let's forget Chaz was ever mentioned. He definitely got a very strong offer here, just wasn't his top one which was correlation I was trying to make.

Vols are fighting for Gibson which is all that matters right now here in this thread.

GBO

I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if he transferred out in a year or two if he just came here for the better money out of high school.

Good point. Especially since now you have recruit even the guys you have committed every year, all year long.

 

[Blake25p]

No surprise

 

[BJWeeks]

Bigger NIL deal then what we offered apparently

 

[Glitch]

Necks.

 

[MarcoVol]

Bigger NIL deal then what we offered apparently

Don’t think so

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Made UGA's collective commit a lot more NIL money to him, so still somewhat of a positive.

 

[BleedOrange16]

 

[Adam2014]

It seems like he just played the NIL game with us. Georgia didn’t have to match the offer. They just had to do enough for him to commit to the school he actually wanted to go to.

 

[UTvol1fn]

Or it just means we can't compete. Take it how ya like

 

[GoodTimeVol]

I think he took little less unless something changed from the last update by AP but not by much, the Georgia sell was they wanted him to play Jack and we wanted him more at SDE/pass rush DT. So that could have played a part other than him being in their own backyard.

 

[bicenTENNial]

Committed to pups shocker

 

[csprig9]

Or it just means we can't compete. Take it how ya like

So a Georgia guy going to state school that’s won 2 of last 3 championships to play for the best defensive coach in the country
That is hard to compete with…
This shouldn’t be a surprise so don’t act like it’s a back breaker

 

[vols 30]

He’s in the boat.

 

[vols 30]

Kids like visits, but have it on good authority he gave verbal to staff
