I was not impressed with him today on ESPN

Let's see, Torrance led a quick strike offense, and was 7 for 11, 298 yds, 5 touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns were to Dredrick Snelson(Miami verbal). Gibson accounted for six of their scores. You'll be able to make another assessment of Gibson's abilities, Heritage plays Aquinas this Friday. Oppressive conditions to play football - ESPN should reconsider August midday starts in south Florida! Miami Central game at Hoover, AL should never have been scheduled at midday.

His passing skills were not that impressive to me. He has a ways to go to be an effective passer in college. Seems to have the ability, just needs some coaching. Still, he is a nice player overall.

+1

He will be a great WR one day, not sure on a QB though. His short armed, bouncer on a WR screen and inability to hit anything that wasn't wide open reaffirmed to me he isn't a high level QB.

Urban Meyer and Florida won two national championships with unimpressive passing college quarterbacks(Leak and Tebow). How effective of a passer do you have to be in college? Michigan,and a less than impressive passer Dennard Robinson, beat Notre Dame twice.

Nick Marshall proves you don't have to be a great passer either. But you have to be better than what Gibson showed. Not knocking the kid. He looks like a tremendous player. But if his passing skills doesn't elevate, his athletic ability is only going to take him so far at the next level. His first game this season so I think he deserves a break. But he needs some serious QB coaching if he is gonna make it in college.

Sorry, but Urban's team there had a supporting cast that made Tebow & Leak. First, for Leak, the defense won that national championship, not Leak and the offense. You know how many times a team scored more than 20 against Florida that year? Twice. The first was against Auburn, but their defense accounted for 9 points in that game. The other was Arkansas and Petrino. You know how many times UF scored more than 30 points that year against BCS conference teams? Twice. Arkansas and Ohio State. If anything, QB almost derailed the season (Auburn, South Carolina).

For Tebow's year, you had Percy, Cooper, Hernandez, Rainey, Demps, a great OL led by the Pouncey twins. Not to mention the defense was loaded too. Can't forget about Joe Haden, Carlos Dunlap, Spikes, Ahmad Black and Jermaine Cunningham. That team was absolutely loaded with impact players and any marginal QB could look good.

quite true, sure Miami in years previously had the same deal, future NFL All-Pro's all over the field and joe soaps like Brock Berlin and Ken Dorsey at QB looking like field generals because of the weapons they had

I still don't get why, if you want to make a career out of football, HS athletes choose to be QB's if they don't have a very good arm. For players like Denard Robinson, Tim Tebow, and Logan Thomas, playing QB in college probably wasn't the best career move (unless the Broncos decide to waste a 1st round pick on you).

guys like Rich Rod and Urbie care little for developing players for the NFL, they just use them for their own gain and then its good luck you are on your own buddy

Logan Thomas just needs to work on being a real quarterback. I read an article the other day claiming that Logan wasn't even taught progressions (or expected to know them) until his senior year of college.

I still view him as a better athlete than a QB, but like others have stated here, sometimes those players make great college players.

Last week against Dwyer, Gibson had 5 passing touchdowns and 1 rushing. Different story Friday night against Aquinas - Gibson 6-12 for 34 yds and l TD passing, and 3 attempts 20 yds rushing. It was 38 - 0 with a running clock in the fourth quarter when American Heritage scored their lone touchdown. In last year's state regional, Dwyer beat Aquinas.

Snapchatted a picture of some girl's booty.

She allowed it.

He refused to make it official with her.

She complained to the admin about the picture, got him in hot water.

^That's the story I got from an OSU friend.

Oh for sure. I'm thinking it's somewhere in the middle. And it came from an OSU source, so who knows.

That's the widely-reported story on the internet now that I looked into it more.
