I don't really buy the Tennessee infatuation. I think he just enjoys the love "twitter love" he gets from them. I think this is a 2-horse race between tOSU & Auburn. He wants the chance to win a NC and that ain't happening at UT any time soon. Of course I don't have any inside info, just observing.

Agree with everything but the toughness, he shied away from contact especially at full speed, stiff arm and speed amazing, toughness not so much. Look at someone like Cam Newton he is similar size player and he would straight run people over at Auburn.

He didn't shy away from any contact until after he trucked that LB from Minny. He lowered his shoulder and the defender ended up on his back, six yards out of bounds. He got chewed out on the sidelines, and heard the coaches loud and clear it would seem.

Anyway, Gibson is a freak, regardless how he is or isn't like TP.

Strange things happen in recruiting all the time. Especially when it's this early in the process. A month ago OSU seemed to be the place to land Marcus Lewis, Adam McLean and Steven Gonzalez...
Not saying he's not coming to OSU, but this will be a fight to the end, and early PT is a heck of a selling point to many kids

I'm not predicting him to OSU, but he has the opportunity for early pt at both OSU & Auburn as well. And both are in better positions to win a crystal ball before UT, IMO.

Just enjoyed watching his film.....from what I've seen in the last couple of pages, I've seen a lot of TP2 comparisons but I don't see much of that at all. But wow, I've never seen a kid on film over the last couple of years jump out and scream the next Braxton more than with Torrance's. TP2 was a glider, Torrance is not but he will throw in that stiff arm. He hides the ball very well; plus, in the spread formations with a left handed QB it can really trick up a defense for a little while.

Great runner; has the vision needed to run our offense. He's got plus arm strength and has natural touch but he still throws more than passes but that's something you can work with. You can tell he doesn't have the mechanics and I rarely saw him throw from a solid base but he's getting by in high school based on the previously mentioned zip/touch. He's electric with the ball in the open field, I get giddy just imagining him in the Shoe!

I've always praised that the 'intangibles' are extremely important for QB's at any level. He's got a ton of pluses in that area as he's clearly a natural leader, winner, etc. Without knowing him personally I can't speak on his love for the game but based on the statements he's made early on about being willing to looking at playing other positions if need be, I feel like he's definitely a team first type.

Haven't dived into Wimbush's film yet but this will be hard to beat.

I'm not arguing your points at all, but after seeing two kids commit to programs that probably won't win their respective conferences but have coaches with touch for recruiting. I don't see UT competing for a SEC but i also don't see UF or PSU winning their conferences either. Butch is one good recruiter and also aggressive. All of the positives mentioned sometimes go out of the window in recruiting

While all this is true, our coach ain't half bad at recruiting either.
