Arik Gilbert

****, I hope the kid can figure it out. He has the tools to change his family's fortune in a few years.

He changed his family’s fortune signing with LSU

We dont need Gilbert, we got Underwood dammit!!

We always need a Gilbert.

He was told he wouldn’t start. He wants to be guaranteed #1. I would have told him to pound salt too.

Not a good look for this kid. Typically these types wash away & go on the “whatever happened to ?” list.

If he goes to UGA, he’s an idiot. UF would’ve been a better choice per their recent TE usage under Mullen.

Sounds like grades + other issues. Had been rumors about failed drug tests while he was at LSU.

Gilbert? It’s grades i thought?

Just relaying what I was told. Gamble is number one.

He’s also not enrolled and would have been late. Summer

If it was grades, I would have been told grades. I’d bet dollars to doughnuts it’s not grades.

Ok, then he can slide in here???

Yeah he has personal issues or whatever but how does this effect the Gaytors class ranking?

 

[CaneFanWNY]

My guess is, like some on here know all too well, they didn’t follow through on their promises. It’s a real problem up there and EVERYONE knows about it. Shameful

Oh no doubt. I wanna see if they try to fleece Jason marshall

Their board is claiming they passed on Terrion Arnold for Gilbert. Not like Bama had no say in that and Mullet knew it.

No

Idc what's going on in his personal life - dodging the trainwreck that is Emory Jones trying to throw you the ball is an A+ career decision. Last I checked you can't catch passes when every shotgun snap is a QB draw.

If he goes to UGA he might only catch ~15 balls but he'll look dope doing it like that Ruckert kid at OSU. Daniels was impressive late in the year and they're loaded at WR.

Only those delusional morons would think that fantasyland scenario would actually cast them in a better light.

PM me for the scoop on Arik. I cant post that highly sensitive info, but ill gladly tell you since you're a well established poster and all.

Dude, appreciate the response - still can’t believe it but appreciate you sharing.

We have screenshots in Gator Tears, after the gaytor’s Bowl game mauling by Okie, of those fools talking Rattler down and how Emory Jones is better and already the best QB in the SEC after Mac Jones and Trask - You know - the number 1 SEC QB in 2021. They’re delusional as ****. For heaven’s sake, Mullet said Okie didn’t beat the 2020 gaytors team.

Yea I think big picture Arroyo is or has more upside, and has potential to be one of the best receiving TE's ever at the U. Arroyo has real good ball skills and route running, but because he's long and lean, he has a ways to go to put on the needed weight and frame, and definitely needs a lot of work blocking to play in line, and have the versatility we saw from Brevin (lined up out wide, in the slot, short slot, in line, and offset backfield). so I don't expect arroyo to get snaps until Mallory Leaves.

My thought was Gilbert could step in right away for double TE sets, similar to what we did this year, if there was mutual interest from him and the U.

I do think Mamarelli is a sleeper in a way. He has good hands, and looks natural as a pass catcher, even with limited experience outside the Wing T. His size is there, and he will add strength to it this offseason. His speed is deceptive, and I imagine they will improve on that in the offseason as well. He has the frame, and ability as a blocker, getting snaps as a true frosh to block in some packages.

Hodges is a tweener. He can be used as the H back, but he doesn't have tru TE size. I'm not that high on Hodges, and think we might see more Mallory/Mamarelli .

I feel the next three years are our window of opportunity to make the playoff.

Man the expectation inflation around is rampant. Kids a good prospect but where’s the support for putting him in the elite of the elite at TEU?

We’ve graduated a few players who were close to NFL HOF level: Shockey, Olsen, Graham. We’ve has a couple who were legit NFL players in Franks and Winslow. Winslow was also first team AA iirc and Mackey Award winner, and but for getting injured would have been up there with the other guys on the field (no comment on off field stuff).

We’ve also had really solid to good college players like Roberts, Smith, Dennison, Everett, Walford, Njoku, Jordan....

I’m excited about Arroyo but puzzled by why people are elevating expectations so rapidly.
