Wanted to get this out about Vinny, and Khris as well. Both came to Gibbons well behind in their academics, it wasnt that they were incapable of getting the work done, they were just so far behind in the amount of education they received at their prior schools. Instead of coasting on their athletic ability, and doing the bare minimum, instead they went every tuesday and thursday and received extra tutoring (this was not mandated by Dubuc) and caught up very quickly.
I know this is a football board and we just want to know how well the excel on the field, which they obviously do, but they also are very humble, respectful young men. My parent teaches at Gibbons and had them both in class. (S)he had nothing but overwhelming positive things to say about the both of them. They show up to class: on time, in uniform, with assignments completed on time, and most of all show the utmost respect in class and outside the classroom. Its just me but i think thats important when recruiting kids to your program. Yes RJ left early, despite some of us thinking it wasnt the decision. But he was never a problem at Miami and performed well above his HS ranking.
That being said Oklahoma is recruiting Vinny the hardest and as on now thats who he favors
*side note on Khris
Hes a very good basketball player and that will play a factor in his recruitment. I doubt Saban or Smart will allow him to play basketball, maybe Richt wont either. But Ive used the Peppers comparison to Bogle, and he had a down year on the court this year, but he had his best game againt Calvery (think he had 38 or something like that). Kid is a big time player in big games.
