Maybe Gilbert doesn't want to share targets like he does at LSU. He could go to Tennessee and play with a QB he's familiar with and get a guaranteed 10 targets a game and be the number one guy week in and week out.
Honestly, that's not a bad proposition for him. He'll never win the SEC at Tennessee but he could certainly be a Kyle Pitts type of player and potentially dominate statistically. Not saying he couldn't dominate at LSU but perhaps he just wants to be the focal point of an offense instead of just another guy.
I seem to remember at some point during the season Gilbert didn't think he was involved enough in the offense, if I'm wrong about that please correct me. But that's why I'm thinking that maybe he wants to go somewhere and be a true number one target, because he felt like he wasn't being utilized enough at LSU.

He will be the first Tennessee receiver to get 10 targets a game for an entire year in 20 years. I get the HS QB went to TN, but to think he is def going to be throwing to Gilbert for the next two years or that he will get any targets a game is a real stretch considering the shape of their program.

That was made up as an excuse for why he sat out. There was no truth to it.

He was the teams leading receiver after Marshall opted out. He definitely was hurt as Johnson and Finley were having their struggles but you can’t argue he wasn’t a key part of the offense. He screwed himself out of another 10-15 catches by not playing in the last two games.

The only thing hurting his draft stock right now is his wavering on his commitment. He could be a top 10 pick but that means he would have to settle in and be able to cope with being on a losing team for a couple of years, not get depressed and seek greener pastures right away. LSU will be back next year and competing for a championship before his 3rd year is up.
