Invited to the Opening

 

[STLDomer]

“@MsAmyCampbell: Armwood S Kyle Gibson earns DB MVP & Opening invite at Orlando NFTC. 2 schools stand out early #NotreDame & #Louisville”

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Elitescouting needs to come back to IE.

 

[PANDFAN]

ESPN Watch List safety Kyle Gibson (Seffner, Fla./Armwood) already whittled his list of schools to four favorites. Notre Dame could have an early edge in Gibson's recruitment
"Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Louisville and USC are my favorites schools right now,
. Gibson likes all four programs, but he spoke glowingly of the Fighting Irish.

"They have great history there and I like their coaches a lot," Gibson said. "I have been talking to them for a while now and we have a great relationship."

[STLDomer]

This kid is legit, good size, wouldn't mind having him as one of the only DBs in this class, Armwood produces some nice talent. Intersesting no Florida schools.

 

[GBdomer]

Lets all just pray Florida doesn't offer.

 

[STLDomer]

FSU offered

He visited and named Vandy his leader 3 weeks ago. Those Armwood kids always look at Vandy, kinda hurts our chances w/ any of them.

 

[STLDomer]

“@joshnewberg247: Spoke to Armwood S Kyle Gibson. Says #notredame #vandy on him the hardest right now.”

 

[NDPhilly]

Thanks for reminding me of him Sluh. I get him and Quincy Wilson confused a ton. Gibson seems like he'd be a good fit for our defense with his good size, ball skills, and tackling ability.

 

[Luckylucci]

I really like the way he plays the run and makes big hits at the line of scrimmage. Diaco loves big corner.

Top 5 school No Order: Notre Dame , Vanderbilt , Louisville , Miami , Usf -via Twitter

No order but lists us first. Nice.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

He wants to visit but isn't sure when. Louisville and Vandy are in good position for him

ISD Intel

 

[NDPhilly]

Committed to Vandy

 

[CanadalovesND]

It seemed early on we were in the drivers seat, but I guess he just slid down the board as the staff were going after bigger fish.

Good pickup by Vandy

 

[STLDomer]

2 Armwood kids already at Vandy, seems all of them consider Vandy (Leon McQuay). He's the highest rated DB to commit to Vandy in the Rivals era

 

[T Town Tommy]

Solid player and a great pickup by Vandy. His size helps and he is not afraid to bring the wood when making tackles. Personally, I really don't see a lot of difference in him and Q. Wilson.

 

[Luckylucci]

Honestly bummed and shocked here. He supposedly had a very good relationship with Alford and seemed pretty excited to visit in the fall. He just put out his focus list and talked about visiting ND in the fall. The bummed part comes from me actually liking him better than Q.Wilson, who I always thought would be a tougher pull.

 

[EuropeanDomer]

Vanderbilt always was the front runner, no surprise here.

 

[ohara831]

Best of luck to the young man.

 

[Emcee77]

Hmm, if Juju is really all USC as people seem to be saying now, and if Franklin is going to PSU, I wonder if Alford will make another run at this kid?

EDIT: someone already asked Loy about this ... he checked on it and we're not gonna make a move at this time. We just have a few guys higher on the board that we are holding spots for.

 

[Luckylucci]

Loy looked into this and said that as of now there hasn't been anything. He said that there are recruits in front of him at this point. I would think maybe Alexander has become more a priority than previously thought. I do like the idea of circling back to this kid, though. Was always very high on him.

 

[ResLife Hero]

I'd personally try to make good with Hendrix rather than try and pull Gibson.

 

[Luckylucci]

I'd personally try to make good with Hendrix rather than try and pull Gibson.

Really? Gibson was one of my favorite CB/S's of this class. If you haven't done so in awhile go back and watch his tape. If you have I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this.

 

[Ironman8]

I'd personally try to make good with Hendrix rather than try and pull Gibson.

I personally like Gibson more than Hendrix, but it seems like neither are of high priority for our staff.

 

[STLDomer]

Trent Sherfield just decommitted from Vandy.

He's Core 6 from Illinois

 

[anarin]

Must be poaching season haha
