Sterling Gibbs to Visit Pittsburgh

[MuchoDogYears]

Gibbs still doesn't have his release from SH and has not graduated, we are going to be waiting for at least another week to hear anything from him

Yeah, but as someone else had once pointed out...When Shonn Miller signed, weeks ago, had he graduated already from Cornell? Maybe he did, just asking...

The distinction with Miller is that he'd been given his release by Cornell a long time before. They knew he wasn't going to be able to play there next year, and that expedited everything.

Transfers don't sign LOIs.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Ok. I understand that a player needs to get a "release" from his current school.

But there still seems to be a question of whether a player has to have graduated from that school before he can announce (? sign paperwork?) that he's committing to another school.

If a grad transfer doesn't sign a LOI, what does he sign? The standard grad school application and financial aid paperwork?

 

[Leebo]

Your question pre-supposes that Gibbs hasn't committed because he is unable to right now. I don't think anyone has established that's true.

EDIT: maybe that's the wrong way to word it, but what I'm trying to say is... we don't actually know what's going on with Gibbs, so let's stop wringing our hands.

So your people just happened to hear the same thing as a tweet from a west coast 247 guy...I never knew Chris Broussard was a UConn fan.

You win Ace...drop your gloves, I don't even have mine on

Since I'm reading this and don't know when those in the know will be back, I believe earlier in the thread someone mentioned that Calhoun was asked his thoughts about the grad transfer situation, and he said that he wasn't really a fan of it, but was glad that KO seemed to be taking full advantage and benefitting from the possibility of grad transfers. He then made an off the cuff comment about the team having 2 in the fold for next year before realizing and correcting himself by saying 1 (Shonn Miller). He may have done this twice, so everyone is assuming that he and the staff know that there is another grad transfer coming in other than Shonn, whether its Gibbs or not

Rumor has it that Emmert is already trying to get JC suspended over these comments for the first 5 games he would call on ESPN this coming year.

My car is dirty so I'm going out to get verification. Stay tuned...

Come on man, do they really bother you.

They bother me but not as much as people responding as if they were serious to begin with.

Sterling probably went to Pitt to hang out with his brother. Ok that makes sense.

Is his brother with him? He's been doing a journeyman pro thing, so it's not a given that he's just hanging out at Pitt.

It's almost as if he's totally unaware that scrappy has him inked for 35+ minutes a game here next season.

Looks like he is with him

I'll now make sure I try to piss you off at any opportunity, you seem to be an easy mark.

The almighty Viking the arbiter of how to respond on a message aka tool.

I have nothing to report. My Pitt contact hasn't been in contact with anyone regarding Gibbs, but only said he'd be surprised if Gibbs chose Pitt.
