I read somewhere a couple days ago the Cade has been seen practicing at center as well. Cant remember where I saw that.
I’m good, previous mood is out of system. Besides @MIghtydawg continues to prove my point initially that he’s:
We have more like him than we used to. It used to be only 2-3. Mostly bama guys. Since he’s especially “retard”, I’d imagine a columbia fan. I mean, in those 7 minutes of an “media observed period”, it must absolutely mean he’s being groomed for C. Cade Mays will play there too because our rivals need to expect to see him there at C. DA.
Floss it off my bruddah 💪
So which silent commit pulls the trigger right before Tank announces a la Jalen Carter when Justin Rogers was about to announce?
I'd bet Darnell or Kelee if I had to... They seem like they wanna recruit a little harder.
My money is on SVP
He seems like the type to me to sit back and enjoy his commitment, or wait until a bowl game. I don't know him in the slightest but that's my impression
Everything I’ve read in here in last week suggested that he has made his decision and moved timeline up to announcing before season. The 247 insider said he gave a silent commitment at BBQ
Regardless II'm with yall, I expect a commit same day/within 24 hours of Tanks announcement. Remember they do all know each other and would prob want to let tank have his moment also, even if it isnt to the good guys. So might be day before/after rather than same day.
Can't wait to see this class finished...gonna be a thing of beauty
RANDOM THOUGHT:
Why don’t we sell Gilbert on being a WR while recruiting Washington/Theo as TEs?
let Gilbert come in, try to prove himself as a WR and let him realize for himself that it either is or isn’t in his best interest! Then we can move him down to TE or now that Cox is gone we can shift him over to his Sunday spot at DE/OLB?!
Because disingenuous recruiting is a good way for us to actually become a house of cards.
Relationships and your word are the name of the game in recruiting and starting to lie to recruits would catch up to you eventually. Either by negatively affecting future recruiting (coaches have long memories) or by having said player transfer or become a negative in the locker room.
We don’t need to lie to kids to field a ridiculously talented team.
That is not a college WR especially at a 4.9 40. Could develop into an elite edge rusher though.
This conversation has happened 1000 times, and Gilbert doesn't want to play defense. If we recruit and sign him as a WR then ask him to move to DE, that looks terrible for the program's image.
How about we recruit kids that want to fit into the program... and if he wants to play WR we let him play at UTjr. I think that plan is a little better than lying to him
That sounds like the plan that's in place to me. We must not be telling him what he wants to hear from wat I gather
But you let him be the one to ask for a position change.
Which is why I said “try to prove himself as a WR and let him realize for himself that it either is or isn’t in his best interest”
If he can be a good enough WR in our system to see the field, then more power to him. I want him in this 2020 class bad, but I don’t want it to be an deal breaker for Gilbert if Darnell is already committed (Gilbert doesn’t want to compete with Darnell from what I can tell based on info in here). So that’s why I bring up the WR thing. He thinks he’s a WR, but we all know he’ll be a DE on Sunday’s. Whether it’s Tennessee/Bama/Clemson there is a 85% chance Gilbert will finish his college career on the defensive side of the ball. Recruiting is recruiting and I don’t care what a 17 year old kid thinks is best for him, because he has no clue. I just want to get the kid signed and then let him find a position. He is too talented to let walk if at all possible.
I'm just speculating here but it sounds like gilbert will need some hard derecruitment in college. I think these 7vs7 camps and the media hype has him thinking he is randy moss
IMHO, I think it’s pretty screwed up to leak this info.
These kids only have one opportunity to do this (if done properly).
I know we are all salivating for recruiting info, but this isn’t the right way to share it.
maybe it’s the grey hair forming, maybe it’s my immense loyalty, idk... just me...
He’s a troll to the rest of us as well. Doubt he’s an alumni even. It’s the internet and he’s never delivered.
