SIGNED OG Gibson Pyle

[Mavric]

Planning to be back for the Northern Illinois and Iowa games.

 

Got some extra classwork done to allow him to graduate in December.

Just got selected for the All-American bowl. I believe that used to be called the Army All-American bowl. Good honors for him. Wonder if he gets a little bump.

I think he certainly should be rated higher then 5.6 on Rivals, maybe bump him up to a 5.8.  I know it's privilege to play and a honor to play in the game but don't know that since they changed the name of it that the criteria to get in is the same or that they hold kids to the same standard of the past.

There are a few more bowls now. But it is still probably one of the top two.

He got invited bc of his performance at the Top Gun camp.  I never heard of the camp so if he did really well there I wonder if the recruiting sites that ranked him pay attention to that or it has any bearing into his ranking?  Be nice to know if any other of our lineman have been there too.

Do you think he earns a 4th star?

That doesn't sound like a  3 star guy.

I would guess more often than not the 8th best HS interior OL in Texas is a 3 star, yeah.

 

Now I do think Pyle is underrated fwiw, and the All-American bowl invite is for sure a point in favor of a higher ranking. But they don't tend to rank a ton of interior guys as 4 and 5 stars anyway, that's all the Tackles - some of whom switch to G/C in college. 8th best at a position in a given state (even one with as much talent as Texas) doesn't scream 4-star in and of itself.
