This is definitely happening.

Jersey and CAPS are already making up any excuse in the world to justify losing Gibson.

Meanwhile, Jerzey has said he'd rather have Brandon Wimbush like he isn't also a dual-threat quarterback.

LMAO @ "losing" Gibson. Did I miss where he committed to UM? Maybe you can show me where he has even said he was leaning here? Were taking 2 QBs in this class. Gibson is a great athlete, but very raw QB whose best bet of early playing time at QB will be in a Read Option Spread system like OSU, Oregon or Auburn. Anyone with half a brain can see that. But of course you guys want to build the strawman a year in a advance, so you can throw a hissy fit and bash the staff, when the kid decides to do the most obvious thing. Make it seem like it should be a "no brainer" that the kid should be "ours", so you can scream bloody murder when he doesnt come. Even though he's not a natural fit for our offense, has NEVER shown that he's leaning towards, UM, has never been committed here, and is not at a critical position of need for us. Fact is Gibson would be a LUXURY for us. Not a "must get". Not if he's going to stay at QB IMO.

I've always felt like less is more at qb for Miami. Guys like roscoe Parrish grow on trees here. Don't see why we can't hit short the whole game and wait for our speed to break you down.

Not to say I don't want Gibson, just reflecting. It drove me nuts with Morris, the deep ball is fun but we don't need to throw over the top to get past people. We need a qb that won't throw picks or get sacked that can identify blitzes, hit guys in stride. Morris afterjacory has just been torture. Need some intelligence at that spot

The recipie for success at UM has always been, a smart QB that can get the ball into the hands of our playmakers, move the offense, and not make mistakes. That was Walsh, Errickson, Torretta, Dorsey, etc... Ill take the smart QB over the "big arm" or "great athlete" any day.

Whats unsaid here is the tremendous athletic talent on defense and offense that surrounded these game managers at QB!

We dont, and at least under this staff, are never going to have that kinda talent to surround game manager types here again. We will have a game manager next season at QB, Williams may be good enough to lead Bama to the playoffs with their talent.....with our talent and coaching that aint happening.

When we have a Saban coaching and that kinda talent we will win it all again. Given our lack of being able to keep such a coach imo we dont sniff the title game again.

Which is why since Urban was at Utah I have said we should be running a spread with a dose of QB run threat as the offense of choice as it fits the kinda athlete we have great access to in SFla.

How many spread option teams with less access to our level of speed and athleticism have been to and sometimes won the BCS title in the last ten years?

Our stubbornness and not being able to get over the glory years is killing our chance for success.

I agree we shouldnt change the offense for Gibson, we have to go with the style we have recruited for.....but this idea we won with game manager cerebral types and thats the only way we should go again because of tradition will not leads us to championships.

It's just logical to match what your real talent is with the system that best utilizes that talent and no one can deny that SFla is loaded with the kinda talent that takes spread teams to the title game.

Switching your offensive system to fit your elite QB never works.

Yeah uh...while you're switching that system to benefit Gibson...what about Kaaya and Olsen?

Simple. If Gibson is transcendent once you get him on campus, you make the necesarry changes to spotlight him. If he isn't, then you mold him in this system or move him to receiver. Either way, wouldn't you rather have that problem then not?
 
More elite talent leaving our area? LOL. You call that a loss? What are we supposed to do? You expect to land elite local prospects? You better go cheer for someone else then.

LULZ
 
Not to mention that Gibson ain't even in the same league as Ward as a thrower

But whatever...I'm done with this discussion

Read Cowbodycane's post and then you'll get it. Of course you don't switch your system for a kid who is still in HS and who hasn't proven himself on the college level. But if you bring the guy in and he beats out the other guys, THEN you make changes to highlight him as necessary. I don't think anybody is saying go full blown spread just to recruit him, they're talking about adapting once he's on campus if you can pull him.

BTW, put me in the group that says Gibson is an overrated QB. Freak athlete but that kid needs tons of work with everything related to the QB position. Everyone is assuming because of his tools he'll get it, but that isn't always the case. See Jeff Driskel.

Driskel and Gibson aren't in the same stratosphere as athletes or potential.

You realize Driskel was 6'4 220 and ran a laser timed 4.51 in HS correct? He was also a stud baseball prospect and one of the best players in the nation in that sport. The kid sucks as a QB but his physical gifts were and are off the chart. His delivery and overall mechanics were much more sound than Gibson coming out as well.

Lol here we go. So because he was never committed to us means we never had him? That is terrible logic. I guess we didn't lose Sony either by your logic. We didn't lose Dixon either apparently. We've been recruiting him since the 8th grade but if he commits somewhere else it's not our loss? Got it.

And about him not being ready to play early. .. so what? Like you said, we're bringing in two QBs this cycle so we won't need him to play early. He can redshirt and develop his mechanics.

5 star kids in your backyard are never "luxuries." You make every effort to get those kids regardless of who is on roster and what system is being run. Having stockpiles of NFL talent on your second and third team and the competition it created built Miami.
 
The next Vince Young, the top dual-threat QB in the country, a program changer, coached by an ex-Cane, 35 minutes from our campus, is not a "must get."

You should be castrated so you can't create a new generation of Golden ****suckers.

Elite 5 star kids from our backyard that we recruit heavily that don't choose us aren't losses unless they're at a position of need. Don't you KNOW that bro?

But we didn't miss on him because he never "had interest." So the kids have their minds made up and the entire recruiting process doesn't matter. They have interest or they don't, there's nothing Golden can do to change that. So make sure Golden gets no credit for Yearby, Darling, etc because the kids choose their school without any influence from coaching staffs.


“It’s a very big deal, it’s a great school with a great legacy,” Gibson said. “All time greats went there– Ray Lewis, Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Ed Reed have big legacies there. I just love Miami.”

No interest. Not a loss. Luxury.

Whether you choose to call a recruit a must get or not, Gibson going to OSU would be a huge ******* loss.
