​The saga of the recruitment of 5-star running back David Gabriel Georges appears to be captivating fans of Ohio State and Tennessee (if that’s what you want to call it). First, there was an article by On3, having interviewed Gabriel Georges’ uncle, that seemed to indicate that the Canadian product (now playing in Tennessee) had made his mind up and was just waiting for the commitment date of July 22. That piece seemed to be very friendly to the Vols over the Buckeyes for his commitment.But then Gabriel Georges posted on social media that he didn’t say anything, putting those comments from his uncle in doubt. And now, not to be outdone, the country’s No. 2-ranked running back in the class of 2027, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, has gone on the record to state that he hasn’t made his mind up yet, just eight days away from telling the college football universe where he will be attending school.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn a brief discussion with On3’s Chris Low, Gabriel Georges says that he’s still weighing everything.”It’s hard. You feel this way, like you know, and then it’s sort of 50-50,” Gabriel Georges told Low. “People will say the 22nd of July is far off, but honestly, for me, it’s pretty close.”The bottom line here is to just wait this thing out. It appears as though Ohio State is in a good spot, but it also appears it could go the other way, and Gabriel Georges decides to commit to Tennessee. Heck, maybe he surprises us all and chooses Ole Miss — though doubtful. Either way it goes, we wish the young man well and hope he gets everything he’s looking for.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWe’ll have more news as it becomes available, but we’re not sure how much any of it will mean until July 22, when the talented back announces his decision.Contact/Follow us @BuckeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes, and opinion.
