Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ohio State gets solid update on 5-star recruit David Gabriel Georges
Insider gives key insight on Ohio State's pursuit of David Gabriel Georges
The insider gave a breakdown of where the battle stands between Ohio State and Tennessee for the five-star recruit.Rivals insider Steve Wiltfong gave a positive update on Ohio State's chances of landing Gabriel Georges as the days dwindle on when he will make his commitment decision.
"But Ohio State, that's the program I think he grew up wanting to go to. He's been there four times. His best relationship is with Buckeyes running backs coach Carlos Locklyn. He was the first to offer him when he was at Oregon. I think him taking that job at Ohio State from Oregon shows David Gabriel Georges the magnitude of what Ohio State is when you stack it up against other programs in the country."
Wiltfong continued to give reasons why Gabriel Georges would want to suit up for the Buckeyes next season in Columbus.
"The way that they treat their starters and superstars long-term, they can point to that with the experience guys like Jeremiah Smith is currently having and how it's setting them up down the road. I've had a longstanding pick for Ohio State. I could easily see him at Tennessee. I just haven't been able to flip that pick because I think Ohio State still has a lot to say in this recruitment, and I think David Gabriel Georges could really see himself thriving at Ohio State."
Ohio State should feel confident about landing David Gabriel Georges
Based on all of the facts and the intel, there is no reason why the Buckeyes shouldn't feel very confident that he will be on the roster next season. If Gabriel Georges wasn't playing high school football in the state of Tennessee, this wouldn't even be a question.Ohio State's ability to prepare players for the NFL is what sets them apart from almost every other team in the country. DDG has seen that, and he clearly sees that as a strong draw. It wouldn't be shocking if he picked the Vols, but it would certainly sting.
Day and his staff will have to wait until July 22 to learn where he wants to be. Until then, all they can do is stay in constant contact with him.

If this kid doesn't look over and see how J Smith is rolling right now and want to be next, then we never had a real answer for him.
Contrast that with UT...who do they have to point to? What development story do they tell?

Just sayin': Well, I can think of just one; however, he played for UT back in the 1990s. Which obviously was before Gabriel Georges was even born. Does that count?

It would help the OSU cause tremendously I would think

5-star RB David Gabriel Georges made a big change just days before announcing his commitment to either Tennessee or Ohio State
One of Gabriel Georges' trademarks that he's become known for as a recruit is his long hair.As of this weekend, the long hair is no more.
Gabriel Georges tweeted a photo on Sunday revealing that he chopped his hair off and is going with a new look ahead of his commitment ceremony.
This obviously isn't a sign of which school Gabriel Georges is going to choose, but it's still an interesting change before he reveals one of the biggest decisions of his life.

According to CNBC’s annual ranking, the top ten worst states to live in, starting with the absolute lowest-ranked, are: Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, Georgia, Utah, Missouri, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. These rankings focus heavily on quality of life metrics like crime rates, healthcare access, worker protections, and inclusive policies. [1, 2, 3]

Ah, the bias of the media, and then cherry picking from the article to try to validate the highly questionable conclusion.
"The broadcaster also cited state laws restricting transgender people’s bathroom access, limits on local anti-discrimination ordinances and Governor Bill Lee’s designation of June 2026 as "Nuclear Family Month." June is widely recognized as Pride Month across the United States."
Some would consider not allowing boys in girls bathrooms and boys in girls sports as a positive, not a negative. Some would also consider the nuclear family having more importance than knowing a person's sexual orientation.
Tennessee’s population grew to more than 7.3 million last year, an uptick of 63,785, according to U.S. Census estimates. The 0.9 percent population growth in the state outpaced the national population, which grew by just 0.5 percent.
The author of the study is correct. People are leaving in droves. (Where is that sarcasm font when I need it?)
A recent study found cities in Tennessee, including Nashville and Knoxville, were among the top destinations that Americans are moving to.
Affordability has increasingly been driving migration decisions and fueling population growth to states in the Southeast and Southwest, with experts noting that factors driving more people to move to Tennessee include the lower living costs and the lack of a state income tax.
Sure seems like a terrible place to live.
I could go on, but I think you get the point. I would encourage others to read the Newsweek article (I didn't click on the other 2 links). Picking out one quote which the rest of the article obliterates is cherry picking at its best. And I would recommend your post (and those quoting it like mine) be moved out of the recruiting forum and into the political forum.

I agree. I think that article must have only looked at West Tennessee. As a former resident of Memphis and with a majority of my relatives living around West Tennessee, I can say that If TN was divided into 2 states, West Tennessee would be #50/51 while East Tennessee would be top 10 or 15

You know what? Chicken butt.
This is true. Missouri is horrible. Tell everyone you know not to move here.
Thank you kindly.
