The guy they really wanted was probably Andrew Hendrix of Ohio, a four-star pro passer who initially showed some interest in the Commodores. We were also talking to another pro-style passer named Arndt from Texas. But you're right, it doesn't really matter now.<br /><br />And you're right to bring up Chris Nickson. Gibson is a great runner but has accuracy problems, and Burns, from my hometown of Columbus, Ga., is a track guy not known for his throwing. We can't win consistently when we have one quarterback who's going to run every down and then a quarterback we put in when we get behind and need to throw.<br /><br />We would have offered Gibson a scholarship to play another position (which he'll be doing at LSU) and we may keep looking at Burns as an athlete.DIMON KENDRICK-HOLMEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810097539680781858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-38920220749205004782009-06-11T16:12:29.547-05:002009-06-11T16:12:29.547-05:00I'm the same person who wrote the first commen...I'm the same person who wrote the first comment, and to your question I'm not sure it depends on what the coaching staff wanted, but probably either Nance or Robinson because their main aspect of their game is not necessarily running the ball. With the new spread hurry up offense in hand vandy needs a QB who can run but is more of a passer. Look at Nickson he was a run oriented QB and against the SEC he struggled at timesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724796957199384175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-5059821760417130382009-06-11T14:19:26.407-05:002009-06-11T14:19:26.407-05:00Yes, Gibson finally got his offer from LSU and acc...Yes, Gibson finally got his offer from LSU and accepted immediately. Vandy would have definitely offered him a place on our 2010 signing class with Nance and it makes sense that Johnson will stop pursuing the other guys.<br /><br />It's interesting, though, that the first guy to accept his offer gets to be Vandy's only quarterback in this class. First come, first served. Which one of those 3-4 quarterbacks do you think the coaching staff really wanted?Dimonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-64749322299293933012009-06-11T12:51:48.702-05:002009-06-11T12:51:48.702-05:00I agree with getting a QB that is athletic would h...I agree with getting a QB that is athletic would hurt however we recruited Gibson to be a wideout and he has committed to LSU already and in the rivals article about Nance it quote Bobby Johnson saying something to the fact that he know has to notify they other QB prospects that they have found their QB for this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
