Haha wow...isn't this the exact reason this kid didn't come here? Because he wanted to play QB?

Ohio State looks like it's converting another quarterback to wide receiver. Freshman Torrance Gibson getting reps there this morning.

No surprise. That kid never was a valid option as a QB. Urban probably straight up lied to him.
 
Urban is a genius unlike Fat Al. Everyone but him knows how to recruit. He could of been ours, insane talent snh.

But if Golden lied to him about what position he was being recruited for, everyone would jump on him for being dishonest to the kid. When Urban does it, it was brilliant.

Truth rght here...Lol @ Gibson though hope he makes it to his dream and play in the NFL but it was totally stupid to go way to Ohio State to play WR when he could have played that anywhere

I think Gibson knew all along what the deal was. Notice there are no rumblings of him being upset about this sudden move. Fact of the matter is...he just didn't want to come here. Smh.

Nope. We care about getting the talent here. As soon as you (a recruit) sign that LOI, you hand over your career to the coaching staff. Everyone on this forum called it and said that Gibson would be a receiver when he went over to OSU. Kid probably thought he was going to play QB, he was wrong. For him though, this was the best thing that could've happened. Gibson has the tools to be an elite receiver, and this will *likely* give him a long career in the NFL if he stays healthy. At QB, he'd at best flame out in the NFL as a QB.
 
This one actually isn't on Alfredo. Just another kid like a certain fatty that washed out of L$U making up a bogus reason when he had no real intention of being a Cane.

Meh, I have long maintained that it is a problem that Golden isn't willing to lie to a recruit and their family. It is a sign of a coach who is cutthroat and willing to do what it takes to win. It becomes a problem when you compound the lie with terrible coaching and no results to inspire confidence that you are making the best decision for all parties involved. Gibson's parents may be rustled now, but when a tall, super athletic wide receiver is getting drafted instead of a mediocre quarter back trying to hack it in the CFL it will be ok.
