mustache eagle 2,412 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Are we pursuing solely as a QB or a similar stanc as Jason smith. You get a little time at QB then off to WR-ville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will not go somewhere if they even mention putting him at receiver. he is dead set on playing QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This one is going to be close. AU is VERY much in it. WDE, r we recruiting him as an athlete or a QB. R we recruiting Francois too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnArch13 185 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I personally don't think we have a chance with this guy. Too much ego to come in and be the third string QB. Not like Ohio St. has any clearer of a depth chart then we do. Barrett is a redshirt freshman. Jones is a sophomore. Heck, they've got a former Heisman candidate in Miller looking to transfer out of that log jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 IMO, Deondre Francois is worth our time in offering him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R we recruiting Francois too? QB but WM thinks he can be an elite safety. One of those get him to sign kids and work out where he plays later kid.

R we recruiting Francois too? Not WDEWDE but my understanding is the same way as Jason Smith was recruited. First shot at QB to see what he can do but Athlete overall.

AUClassof19 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Isn't he committed somewhere? Ohio st right? Yes he is committed to Ohio State but he is worried about PT because they are so deep at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caleb1633 1,418 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'll be shocked if he signs with Auburn. Knowing you feel this way makes me feel that much better about our chances of signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,171 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Dumb question but since all of a sudden we are getting a ton of top D players visiting and if we are able to pull a major haul if we had to decide between him and one of the top D players which way would it go? By the way I would love to see us put in that position. My take is the D player because we are deeper at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that it's possible Gibson could wind up on D despite getting a shot at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 We ARE recruiting Francois now. What happened that made us think Francois was back in the picture as an option? When he announced for Fsu, they already had 2 other QBs committed, but he liked them still more than AU. I was not in love with the way we were sort of played IMO when he committed. He is a talent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think that the fact that FSU already has 2 other QB commits makes this a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausburn 159 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2015/01/dual-threat_qb_torrance_gibson.html Excerpts: The dual-threat quarterback prospect from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., returned to Auburn for the first time in months this weekend for his official visit, and came away with plenty of positive things to say about the Plains. "I sat in Gus Malzahn's office and he told me I'm his guy," Gibson said Sunday. "He wants me to come in and get a fair opportunity at playing quarterback. That's what he told me, and I believe him. Look what he did with Cam Newton in one year and Nick Marshall in two. Imagine what he could do with me in three." "I would have no problem redshirting, but sitting two or three years -- that's not what I have to do. I want to come in, get a fair opportunity to play quarterback. I have a home visit with Coach Rhett Lashlee, Coach Gus Malzahn and Coach Urban Meyer in a few weeks, so we'll see what happens." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,731 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 He's saying he doesn't want to sit for two/three years, but unless he becomes a better thrower and gets some weight on that frame, he's likely about to sit behind White too.
