07/07/06: "Gibson's pre-summer play didn't quite meet expectations. In his first game on Friday, he met and exceeded them. Two mid-range jumpers to go with his overall body of work at both ends in the paint was enough to the big timers excited about him again." - ScoutHoops.com

07/07/06: "Gibson told Rivals.com that he isn't committing to Kansas State or Cincinnati but liked both schools. The schools aren't alone. Alabama, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Florida and Georgia are recruiting him as well. Gibson said he'd like to hear more from UConn, North Carolina and Duke. . . ." - www.RivalsHoops.com

04/23/06: "The long big man had another lackluster outing, especially on the offensive end. He passes the look test and has plenty of potential, but the production isn't there. . . " - www.ScoutHoops.com

04/18/06: "As a sophomore this past season, Gibson averaged 16.5 points and 7 rebounds a game. According to the 6-foot-9 center from Northview, he did so even during a unique setting. “We had a funny system. Our coach is a pump you up guy and we played like on the streets, we played how we know how to play."
"Gibson said he works out with some people close to him around town. He had an uncle who went to Cincinnati so in addition to the aforementioned schools, the Bearcats might be wise to blow a call into him." - ScoutHoops.com

04/14/06: Xavier Gibson, a 6-foot-9 big man out of Dothan (Ala.) Northview, said that Florida State, Alabama and Georgia Tech were pursuing him with some intensity. He has an uncle who played at Cincinnati though Gibson, only a member of the Class of 2008, admits he doesn't dwell on recruiting much. "I don't even think about it much. I just look at it day by day. I'll go see how I like it (on unofficial visits) and fit in but I know I've got a lot of time so I don't even focus on it right now." - www.ScoutHoops.com
