Not hype wise. They may produce on a Berry level once they're here though. Gibson has been asked to play wideout at one or two elite camps. That doesn't seem like something a great QB is asked to do.
That's my feeling too on Gibson. Tremendous athlete for sure. Either way I hope we get both, because they'll both be great players. Be hard to produce on the level Berry did though. He was a once in an every 10-20 year type player.
I don't think neither one is as big a deal as landing Gibson would be. My comment about Deberry was a little headstrong though. I thought he was a consensus 5 star until I googled him last night.
No, but he's the most realistic one we have of landing. DJ Jones, a JUCO DT, is another realistic one. Shy Tuttle and Tim Settle are two highly rated DTs that have visited or plan to visit here. Jordan Thompson is a guy from Ohio that may end up getting offered too. Trent Thompson is being recruited by everybody in the country.
Da'Rick had a 1,000 yard season as a sophomore and Bryce played well in his one season here. Both are on NFL rosters.
I think we are in the mix with Sterling Johnson too. Not rated as high as Tuttle, Settle or Thompson, but still a good prospect.
That ended up across campus from me at TTU and had a 1,000 yards on a 5-7 team. He's a great player obviously, but his impact at UT isn't all that big, IMHO
He turned in All-SEC efforts on squads that didn't have a pulse. He also abused his fair share of future Leaguers while here.
Fair enough. He is a stud. But what's his impact for UT really? He is obviously a great talent and has scored a few touchdowns in the pros, but his legacy/impact at Tennessee is tarnished. Bryce Brown played good, but he didn't stay long enough to make a legacy at UT
