Marshall, Elliot, Jacobs and Barrett are all playmakers. Add in Gibson and that is 5 playmakers on Offense in one class. Not sure that we "need" one more to the list. It would be nice but not a need imho.

The only thing that makes Gibson close to a "need" is despite the whole playmaker distinction, he is the only pure WR we are still in on. Everybody else is a hybrid/slot kind of guy. Gibson is the only split guy we are in on to play outside. Jalin possibly could play outside but he is better suited to play slot/RB.

I don't know whether the sliding scale has changed since it first came out during 2003, but this link shows what combination of core GPA and SAT/ACT a prospective student-athlete would need.

In Gibson's case, if 3.1 is indeed his core GPA (the reported GPA is often the overall GPA, which is frequently higher than the core GPA the NCAA uses), he would need a 49 on his ACT or a 580 on the SAT. The number for the ACT is the sum of all 4 sections, whereas the composite (average) score of the 4 sections is what is often reported. In this case, a 49 equates to a 12.25 average.

Of course, OSU may very well have higher standards than the NCAA minima, but this at least provides the bare minimum a student-athlete needs.

I thought the max score on the ACT was 36? I would have guessed Gibson would have needed an 18-21 to go with his 3.1.

36 is the maximum composite score. The total score maximum is 144. I guess the NCAA must look at the total score so that they can get a a more precise score since the composite score will round up or down if the raw score is a fraction (e.g., a 16.5 would round up to a 17).

The writing was clearly on the wall for this one. I think he'll thrive at WVU to be honest. Good luck, young man.

Kid really wanted to be a Buckeye, bummer he didn't make his way into this class. Either way, best of luck Shelton and keep those academics up at WVU and you will have a great career!
