It's been widely reported he had some major stuff he was dealing with which was what led to him quitting mid-season last year. Our mods and many others have said he has personal issues/things he's been having to tackle all this time. It's not a secret at all.
It has also been reported that those "many" issues was homesickness. Most of the "major mental issues" that have been reported have been reported by normal fans with no knowledge of the actual situation. Now, if you can provide me with a link to a report by a knowledgeable person that he has mental issues then post it and i will apologize to you.

, Gilbert will never suit up for Georgia. Fact I really doubt this kid will ever play another meaningful snap in college football. He is a major head case and that isn't his biggest current issue, he has serious work to do in the classroom! But hey good luck to him! I hope he gets his shite together!

This always amazes me. LSU fans saying his GPA is zero and he has major work to do in the classroom, yet he can still be eligible to play at LSU.
He is a major head case yet Orgeron has said many times that he would welcome him back and many LSU fans getting mad if anybody even insinuates he might go to another school.
I could make a better case that it is LSU fans who have the mental issues.

So you want his medical records?

Maybe you need some help reading? Where did I ask for medical records? I asked for a link to a report by someone other than some random LSU fan. Is that so hard to understand that I might want something other than heresay before I smear a kids name and reputation on a forum?

So basically you just want someone else you dont know to tell you?

Can't be any worse than what we are getting from LSU fans. I don't know. Maybe from a writer who covers LSU or college football in general that can tell us something from him?
I mean, LSU fans have said:
1) He has "literally" a zero GPA (but could still play for LSU
2) He is Bi-Polar
3) He has mental issues
4) He is a cancer in the clubhouse
Yet not one has backed it up with anything substantial.
No reports from a reporter. No comments from your coach. Only speculation and guesses based on them being mad because he left the team midway through the season.
I have seen speculation from writers that he was homesick.
But yeah. LSU fans like to smear his reputation and character but find it unreasonable for somebody to question their reasoning.

Dude. I want somebody that covers the sport and maybe....JUST MAYBE has actually talked to the kid.
I mean, you are taking the word of regular fans who have no insight whatsoever and telling people it is a fact.
It has been reported as fact that he has mental issues....that he has a zero GPA and several other things that are not a fact.
So what you are saying is you will take the word of a regular fans with no insight, never talked to the kid and are just speculating and spreading stuff just because he wants (apparently) to leave LSU and put out the worst possible information that is specifically designed to tear his reputation apart.
But you think I am crazy because I want information from somebody close to the situation?
You can't make this stuff up.

How so? because I want somebody close to the situation and not rumors started by random fans?
Please enlighten me. I have asked for a link to an article from somebody in a position to know. You, on the other hand take the word of disgruntled fans with no knowledge whatsoever and run with it as fact.
It is easy to see your logic.
ETA
Again...I am not saying there are no issues with Gilbert. I, personally, would prefer we stay away from him. What I am saying is I have not seen anybody credible or that might have knowledge say anything other than he was homesick.

Because its not a football related injury if you want to put it that way. No one that has intimate knowledge of the situation is going to say anything.
Its not like the kid tore his acl on tv and they are giving an update.

Just wait until georgia fans realize if he isn't eligible at LSU, he won't be eligible at georgia.

I only said you're lost because you're expecting to get credible information on this message board instead of skin deep knee jerk defensive reactions/excuses as to why a recruit/player/transfer/coach/etc. failed to choose a fan's favorite school.

he may end up in Athens but if i'm a dawg fan I wouldn't get excited unless he's actually wearing a jersey on the sideline in September. I'm not sure exactly what his issues are but he's definitely got issues.

He had a 1.0 GPA
There's a lot more than just home sickness.
