If we land him I doubt we stand a chance for Gibson as he seems to want to be "the guy".

I'd almost prefer the Gentry kid.
Reminds me of the really tall QB from Arizona State a season or two ago (Oswieler I think was his name).

Didn't meant it like that.

Interesting article via 247 (not Gamecock related but still good).

Latest list has Auburn and UTenn "tied", though Auburn has the lead if that makes any sense.

Up-Tempo Spread offense.

Just didn't have all the tools to run it properly last year.

Supposed to visit TN this weekend for our Gruden QB camp. Will be important that he makes it in. If not I say Auburn is taking this one.

If he does come in he'll probably flop again.

yeah, UT's spread is significantly different than Aubie's. Auburns' is more of a wing t in the shotgun. UT's is a traditional spread, with zone blocking as the primary run blocking, and short to intermediate passing as the primary throws.

Good explanation!

UT accepts a commitment from 3-star QB. Wooohoo! :P

Nothing wrong with 3* players. Many of them are much better than the 4* & even some of the 5*. Auburn has 5 or 6 three stars committed right now woohoo.

You'd be woohooing if it means you might be getting Gibson. Our coaches are drooling over him. Cam 2.0.

Wasn't our beloved Connor Shaw a 3-star? I wonder if Connor knew they had him listed as 6'2"?

#5 QB and top #150 player in the country 4* according to 247.

They are the only one who has evaluated him yet because he didn't play last season due to a baseball injury.

He probably fits our system better than Gibson, but would have been nice to see what it would have looked like.

Weird that Gibson is still on campus in Knoxville and has been there since Saturday night...I still think we would take both, he just likely won't come to us since we have two QB's already committed (one of which is considered an athlete).

The athlete/quarterback debate rages on with U.S. Army All-American Torrance Gibson, but there is no denying that regardless where the five-star ends up on the field, the 6-foot-5, 200-pound prospect will bring oodles of big-play ability. Gibson chose to compete in only one meet for this spring, running a FAT 21.78 in the 200, which would have been good enough for fourth in the state meet. Gibson also ran a 4.55 40-yard dash and 4.38 shuttle at the Miami NFTC. Threw for 1,864 yards and 19 touchdowns while running for 1,032 yards and 10 touchdowns, and just makes it look easy on film. Few his size can move as well as Gibson does.
