Gibson’s Decision

[LonestarBoilerFan]

Per 247Sports, we have an offer out to 2019 DT Ben Smiley (as does about everyone else). He is currently ranked the #28 DT in their composite rankings. He was committed to Virginia, but just reopened his commitment. I wonder if we are making any effort to get him here for a visit given that we didn't get Gibson.

What's the point of doing that...other than, as you say, to be a d-bag.

Exactly. Douchey thing to do. His high school coach was Roy Roundtree’s so I’m not surprised there was some drama. Remember that saga?

I only remember that Roundtree was committed to Purdue then signed with Michigan.

That was the infamous "snake oil salesman" comment that Tiller made in reference to Rich Rodriguez.

He wore a Purdue tie to his commitment ceremony and chose Michigan? What a dick.

It was all about attention for him. I got a bad taste in my mouth for the whole thing when his mom tweeted out a survey asking "Which school should Isaiah choose?" once he narrowed it down to 3. There's no practical reason to do that. It was all about fueling the attention that he was getting and basking in it. Some kids love to talk about how many likes or retweets or mentions they get and so do some moms apparently.

Not to mention, it was Purdue in a landslide. There was a basketball recruit who’s Mom did the same thing, XT I believe, and it was overwhelmingly Purdue. The pole was eventually taken down.

similar to that QB from Texas a few years back that didn't pan out up UM.

I guess this is just another sign of the selfie generation. I see lots and lots of therapy bills in the future for this generation.
