he is a 4 star on rivals. I am not sure how he would fit in our offense. I am not even sure we are recruiting him but if we are I would say that this improves our chances.
He didn't want to follow Garrett to Texas so why follow him here?
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security

I think the writing was on the wall for Gilbert at Texas plus he only had a greyshirt offer from Texas.

I'm all for Garrett and Griffing Gilbert. But are we sure that June Jones is going to want any more double initials on the team?
Jones said he would probably reach out to Patterson "after he settled down a little bit." Then Jones laughed.

I would say something, but I don't want to draw the ire of Samurai again.

We don't have budget for that many letters on the back on our jerseys

Griffin is a TE. We don't use many TE's in our offense.

Maybe converts to a DE or OLB, THU doesn't have a prolific. TE attack either.

Former high school TE Taylor Thompson panned out pretty well at DE I must say

From what I understand, he is tall and lanky with good hands. Would this make him a good outside receiver?

If you can't find a use for a 4 star athlete, you shouldn't be a college head coach. We would find a place to use him.
