2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

Kinda think that tOSU is reaching deeply into their bag of tricks on this one. And inventing a couple of new ones along the way. Going to sing Pantoni's praises, or one of his staffers maybe, for bringing up the 'offer his BF' avenue. Whomever is master-minding this recruitment, unsung though they may be, and no one knows outside of the Woody, they're to be complimented. Maybe offer his girlfriend a spot on the cheerleading team?

Aside from the info that we get from our awesome recruiting people here on BP, I'm now even more confident that we get DGG.....because the rest of the internet CFB world is already bemoaning how much we're spending for him.

Remember, kids......when Miami buys an entire offensive and defensive line plus a QB, that's normal. When Ohio State pays market value for a single RB, we have to throw up our hands and question where CFB is headed.

Elite 5-Star RB Tops College Football's No. 1 Overall Prospect as Highest-Paid Recruit

The top uncommitted college football running back in the country is about to get paid, big time.

He could make history​

When all is said and done, Georges could find himself emerging as the first $1 million running back in college football recruiting and NIL history.

“The $1 million range, shy of $2 million,” was how an industry source with knowledge of Georges’ recruitment put it to On3 Sports insider Pete Nakos.

If so, the prospect will likely receive that total over the course of a multiple-year arrangement with whichever school he commits to, as he looks to get some long term security as early as possible.

At this stage in his career, Georges’ actual NIL valuation sits at less than half the low end of that estimate, listed at $452,000, according to the latest On3 industry estimate, but that figure will undoubtedly rise very quickly once he attaches himself to a big-time program.

At this stage in his recruitment process, it still looks like Ohio State is out in front in the David Gabriel Georges sweepstakes.

The program’s demonstrated success in developing offensive skill players in recent cycles plays a big role in the running back’s interest, as does the rapport he has built with running backs coach Carlos Locklyn so far.

Locklyn has met with Georges’ family personally in the player’s native Quebec, and the prospect has taken personal visits to Columbus to see the Buckeyes program and its personnel up close, including late last month.

Tennessee football reportedly has blueprint to land five-star top priority David Gabriel Georges

A major part of the recruitment process is the strength program. DGG is a gym rat, and that is important to him. During his visit to Tennessee, he spent significant time with new strength coordinator Derek Owings.

“Owings, who was a key part of Indiana’s national championship run last season (it probably doesn’t happen without him), is one of the top strength coaches in the nation. He’s one of the biggest weapons the Vols have in the battle against Ohio State for Gabriel Georges. And it’s certainly a big positive that Tennessee made sure to make time between photo shoots and fashion shows to show Gabriel Georges what he undoubtedly cares about the most during the visit,” A To Z Sports’ Zach Ragan wrote.

The blueprint for landing DGG has been outlined by his family. They are seeking a deal worth around three years so he is protected long-term.

“He’s expected to be in the $1 million range, shy of $2 million,” On3’s Pete Nakos wrote. “It will be a multi-year deal, that’s something the family has talked about. The family is very clear that it wants a multi-year deal, so they have a roadmap for his entire career.”

This is huge news, as Tennessee knows DGG would be a major part of the offense throughout his entire career. It also speaks to the character of Gabriel Georges, as once he commits, he is expected to stay put.

This is significant for the Volunteers, as they should be taking full advantage of a player who wants to spend his entire career at one program. The blueprint is right there for Tennessee—it is now all about executing it.

Top Ohio State football recruit target reportedly has massive NIL price tag

The Ohio State football recruit that they have spent the most time recruiting reportedly has an enormous price tag if they want to get him.

Ohio State recruiting target David Gabriel Georges has a reported $1 million NIL price tag

According to On3, Gabriel Georges will have at least a $1 million price tag for incoming NIL. That would be the most a running back has ever been paid right out of high school. Apparently, that hasn't scared off the Buckeyes as it has in the past few years. They seem to be right in the thick of things.

There will be a number that Ohio State doesn't go over. Ryan Day is steadfast in his belief that he would rather pay for proven production in the Transfer Portal than high-priced recruits. He has come off that a bit this year with some of the guys they have been able to bring in.

Ohio State has multiple five-star recruits that they have decided to pay in this cycle. The Volunteers might be willing to pay DDG more, but he really seems to value what the Buckeyes can give him in terms of development and opportunity.

Ohio State fans should still feel confident about David Gabriel Georges

Despite the gargantuan price tag, fans of the Buckeyes should still feel confident about DDG picking to play in Columbus next season. If he does, he would be the best running back prospect to pick Ohio State out of high school since 2021 when TreVeyon Henderson committed.

Money is one thing, but having the chance to win a national championship is something completely different. That's something Gabriel Georges would get in Columbus. He wouldn't have a shot to do that in Knoxville. Tennessee hasn't won anything of consequence in almost 30 years....:lol:

If Gabriel Georges is only concerned about how much money he's going to make in college, then he's not the right fit for Ohio State, anyway. He will be committing in three weeks, so Ohio State has enough time to keep convincing him that Columbus is where he should spend his collegiate years.

It's going to be a battle between these two programs. If Ohio State doesn't land him, it would be a crushing blow with how much time and how many resources they have used in his recruitment.

To the quote in bold, we win championships in "Neyland of the North". Glad their fans were able to give us such fond memories of that phrase.

Yeah, how could Ohio State ever compete on that front.
