Per Trieu: Illinois Lands Kenton Gibbs

@AllenTrieu Illinois lands Cass Tech DT Kenton Gibbs
It seemed like the coaches were somewhat interested in him, however they never extended him an offer, which leads me to believe that he was not one of their first choices at the position.
Congrats to Mr. Gibbs. CT may be a pipeline for UM, but we can't have everyone from Cass. If he's happy with the Illini offer, but still wants to visit other schools, then that's between him and the staff at Illinois.
Wish him the best. Illinois is a good school and has a decent record of getting linemen to the NFL.
..it has a better record in the past few years than UM. A first rounder on the DLine in two consecutive years? That's gotta be pretty attractive to prospects
We almost got Frank the tank, but he was picked up by Illinois. Seemed like the coaches may have wanted him, but I am not sure. Seriously! I know all of you realize I am not picky, but this post is bad.
With visits still expected and it still so early in the process, this one is certainly not over. Good luck to him whatever the ultimate decision may be.
