Deryck Gildon

What's his current status? I haven't been able to keep track of what's going on with him.

I did see a tweet by him today that he was at the Arlington Martin signing day with his little brother and Hicks.

Anybody know?

We need a pinned thread about Gildon.

The answer is: nobody knows, and if anybody does, they aren't telling.

My guess, and others, is that TCU doesn't want him back due to injuries. That being said I have zero sources on it.

TCU doesn't want him back due to injuries.

Which would be strange considering doctors cleared him a while back. There's something else going on.

CGP is making him squirm a little. IMO.

Maybe someone can ask about this at the signing event tonight

Coach's response:

I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These 22 individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 52 nights for the next 4 years, to represent you, this university. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your team.

Two parts: Hackman looks a lot like Les Miles. That gif of Miles is based on a pretty hilarious speech he gave about supporting his players and your post was about giving a speech about supporting our players.

Pretty simple.

Thanks. I never saw the resemblance until you said that, pretty funny. Also, I have no clue what Miles speech you are referring to, so there's that.

I have been told by someone I trust that injuries cost him the opportunity to get his scholarship back. As I've said before, I hope I'm wrong. Maybe since we can't close and we have some slots the coaches will change their mind.

Pretty funny to look at Norman Dale's quotes and how they translate to GP:

My practices aren't designed for your enjoyment.

I've seen you guys can shoot but there's more to the game than shooting. There's fundamentals and defense

You are in the Army. You're in my Army. Everyday between three and five.

Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team - no one more important that the other.

There's a, um tradition in tournament play- not talk about the next step until you've climbed the one in front of you. I'm sure going to the state finals is beyond your wildest dreams, so let's just keep it right there.

And hunt together.

CGP is a dead ringer for Coach Dale. Seen that movie a million times and never thought of the comparison. Nicely done.
