This should be a major RED flag to any NFL team, I would be very careful with this kid no matter the talent level

Was there much chatter of this before the decommitment? I haven’t been following recruiting over the last few weeks

He’s a kid that’s lost right now. Rumors are there was some academic requirements that he didn’t meet to get into Florida. Hope the young man figures it out.

Came across it somewhere (think maybe on the Twitter rabbit hole lol). Supposedly it was linked to the inability to do cross conference transfers. Also saw something (down the same rabbit hole) about the new offensive staff and his mom pushing for him to return. Again, it’s Twitter and a rabbit hole of multiple clicks so who even freaking knows what’s up

I just read some Florida writer talking he was going to be a “Superstar “, just have patience Florida fans he won’t be Pitts right away but when Mullins installs his offensive genius to fit Gilbert’s talent he will be a superstar. Something else along the lines that LSU didn’t know how to use him. This is priceless, can we get him back Lol

It seems like he clearly needs help and doesn’t have all his shite together. I might get downvoted into oblivion but what a strong message it would extend to both the current roster and future recruits if Ed O went after him again and tried to help get him back in the fold. Would really hammer home the fact that coach loves his guys, even if they decide to leave or lose their way for awhile.

Maybe that’s too forgiving. I obviously don’t know anything behind the scenes and this might be an awful idea but all things being equal it might make a lot of sense.

This guy just won’t go away. Obviously he’s not committed to anything or anyone.

I think this guy just craves the kind of attention he got during his initial recruiting process. Looks like he plans on recreating that every year

That would be a mistake. Even if you want him back, you let him come to you with some humility.

The only way the situation works is if O shows that he is the alpha male in the situation, and you can't do that if you're asking him to come back.

I don't think it's even academic

I think it's more personal shite.
