Top247 receiver Shelton Gibson of Cleveland says he's still committed to West Virginia following his official visit to Tennessee, but the Vols gave him plenty to consider.

Good stuff. The fact that Gibson will be giving us his last look and bringing his family is huge. If I'm butch, I'm selling momma Gibson the VFL program. GBO

I wonder if Mrs. Croom could meet up with Mrs. Gibson when they return to Knoxville? Momma Croom could give an unique perspective that only mothers can understand and she is a wonderful ambassador for the University.
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

So you are telling me he might not come to UT because Knoxville is a big city and has more crime??? Thats funny!!!!
Just so everyone knows this was just a joke!!
I do think its great that Momma might be coming to Knoxville and that he is already thinking about returning.

He's from Cleveland. That explains his concern about crime and safety.

Sounds like he was impressed, if momma gives him her blessing we have a really good chance. I like the way CBJ is selling the tradition that is Tennessee. We as fans take that for granted sometimes and think everybody knows what Tennessee has but alot of people especialy the younger people don't know about Gen. Neyland the seven maxums the National titles a top 5 winningest program in NCAA history the Vol walk the forming of the power T and running through it as a 100,000 + cheer. I could go on and on and it sounds like CBJ is and I think it's working.
