re: Anyone know why current commit Sam Gibson

Here's the reasons why per everyone's favorite flamer Rivals poster bamalover09.....

2. Sam Gibson wasn't offered by Bama or Auburn, that (like Josh Williford) should tell you something. Its pretty obvious Miles just wants to take a kid from Alabama every year. The last 2 seasons have shown that. He can't compete to take a player we really want, but he'll bring in someone.

Robby Green had legit offers from Arizona State, Penn State, Ole Miss and Bama. There are also a ton of rumors he had an offer from LSU. Regardless, its neither here nor there, he had offers from other very solid schools. Gibson? UAB? South Al? Green is a little different than Gibson.

Gibson has been dubbed as more of a "camp guy". Guys who have seen him play say he is not very physical and doesn't like contact..that doesn't bode well for a safety. (This was taken from an Auburn board btw early in the season). Not to mention...arguably the best DB coach in America passed on him (Saban) and a very good former DC/secondary coach passed on him as well (Chizik). This guy is an in-state player - to me this says it all.

not to get in a big flame war...but Miles has not exactly shown to be a "guru" in OL recruiting under his tenure at LSU.

I'd say in a year where we are taking 6-7 DBs and the kid doesn't even get a SNIFF from Saban, that should tell you a little something. Couple that with the fact that Chizik didn't even give him a sniff either and their safety situation blows. Both coaches are very good in the secondary especially Saban.

1. We had 1 safety committed and that was Gibson's teammate (the real safety) Perry. Saban had ample time to see him and evaluate him...we aren't like Miles we do not wait to camps to offer in-state players. Jarrick Williams just committed, and we will probably take another safety to make 3. Bad reasoning.

2. Weight has absolutely nothing to do with physical play. Take Perry Riley, guy is built like a truck but one of the least physical LBers in the SEC...pathetic.

3. I love the constant Robby Green shots...for a kid that was said he would never play, it must really be eating you guys up that he is a starter as a true sophomore. Somebody wake me up when Rockey Duplesis ever touches the field...laugh Or John Williams...oops, I mean Ryan St. Julien sees the turf. Great decisions...

He used to post here. I'm not sure if he's LuckyLee or not. I forgot his original name here though.
