I don't have much, digging around with a BUNCH of people to see what is up. We expected his commitment to be announced today. When that did not happen, I did some digging. From a personal coach I received this message: "He was committed to Oregon silently. If they dropped him that's news to me."
But still no commit. I have spoken to several other recruits and none of them know what is going on with Gibson right now. I spoke to some folks at Louisiana Tech where his name suddenly emerged. They were a bit surprised to see him on their radar.
No one I have talked to will verify anything of substance regarding qualifications. The OC at LaTech, Todd Fitch, was the OC at USF the year before Taggart got there under Holtz... so he had some connections in Florida and it is possible that a soft landing spot was worked out IF there is a reason for the Ducks and/or Gibson to move on.
I continue to hear that Coach Heyward pushed really hard to flip Gates from UCLA and I know that Lenoir and Pickett were working hard on getting Blades to choose the Ducks. Both are extremely, very, highly unlikely to choose Oregon, but never say never, I suppose, until there is a signature on a dotted line.
I have about 8 people looking for something more than a rumor; will let you know if I find out more.
