Assuming that’s his mom to his right . . . did u see her eyes go wide?? I think she was genuinely surprised and didn’t know he was picking LSU!

Seems like a great kid and he’s shutting down his recruitment to go get other kids to LSU

He said in an interview posted on 247 ( I think that is where I read it) that he has known for a month where he was going. But the that people were saying Bama and UGA so he just let it go. He also said his parents did not know where he as going either.

Dad was hype for sure...I'm wondering if he has Louisiana ties. A lot of people went to Georgia after Katrina.

I think it was more just a combination of huge surprise and happiness for his son.

I love this Tweet on his dad:

Who said “geaux tigers” in the coach O voice at very end? That was awesome

That is awesome. Pops genuinely excited for his son. Helluva experience and proud moment for that family. Wishing big things for this kid. Has all the tools to be dominant on the field regardless of position. Great pickup.

Def looks like a freak on film and would dominate in a Joe Brady Offense.

From 247

Gilbert told reporters he knew for about a month that he was headed to LSU, but let speculation build that Alabama and Georgia were fighting it out. He didn't even tell his parents where he was going.

Mentioned a few weeks ago I met his dad and his parents liked LSU. But left the decision up to him.

Quality post-commitment interview. He kinda loses his train of thought when talking about Coach O which tells you a bunch about what he thinks of him and later on he says even if he wasn’t playing football, LSU would still be his choice. LINK
