Four-Star Recruit
Tiger Tim said:As for Tyler and Nebraska. I wouldn't have agreed to his 'demand' that Nebraska recruit no other QB if he commits. Sounds kind of egotistical. Please tell me if what I heard was true or not. If not, I apologize, but I thought I read it in the local (Omaha) papers.
Tiger Tim, I've heard this too. I researched it and couldn't find the original source (it's from an Omaha World Herald article). I've seen it referenced in message boards, though.
From the article (I googled the quote and clicked on "cached" to get this link to open up):
"Gabbert, who turns 18 in July, is considering a December graduation in order to enroll at NU next spring. He said the Nebraska coaches told him that they would sign only him at quarterback in 2010. “They’ve said from day one that I’m their guy,” Gabbert said. “I’m the only one. It’s fine to compete, but you don’t want to come in with too many people. Being the only guy is important for your reps and your chances to improve.”
I hope he stays N.
