QB Blaine Gabbert

[Always a husker]

I really hope we get Gabbert we would be loaded with great qb's. I also want him because quarterback is the position that will get your team lots of attention and will help recruiting.

Rumors starting to float that it is probably going to be an Nebraska - Alabama battle for Blaine, with Missouri fading.

Digging around the internet, I was able to find out a bit more about this rumor.

 

Supposedly, Mizzou is pressuring Blaine to commit right now and end his recruitment. However, Blaine isn't ready and wants to wait a bit longer. Mizzou may be looking to move on which is where this 'rumor' is coming from.

that's great news sounds like he wants to go to a place where he could compete in and win conference and national championships

Unbelievable! While it was looking good for us, I was worried that the number of quality quarterbacks already enrolled would work against us. A great get - and a great job by the coaches in recruiting.

That is awesome to hear. The offense has some great talent for the next five years.

[BigWillie]

You know, I'm VERY surprised.

 

I've tried not to get excited about Blaine -- because alot of the time it is hard to separate truth from just internet rumor. Most of the rumors had us in the lead, Alabama in the lead, you just had no clue what to believe.

 

Now one a likely 5* star QB has committed to Nebraska along with the awesome offensive line haul we already have.

 

I'm just shocked. Just shocked.

 

Hats off to Cally, Watson and staff, a HUGE get.

 

And most of all, welcome to Nebraska, Blaine!

Watching the highlight video on Rivals.com, I am pumped.

 

He has all the tools, at 6'5 he sees the entire field.

He has speed to outrun defenders when he wants to.

A great, accurate arm.

 

I really cannot believe this year, every year it seems like the top guys we want usually come down to us and one other team, and time and again we have lost out.

 

But after watching the top QB's last year disappear one by one, this is awesome to see we finally get an elite QB that has the potential to lead the Husker offense for several years.

[mi.husker]

I think its pretty much official

[SouthDakotaHusker]

Life is good once again for the Husker nation.

Now B.C. don't back on recruiting him until the ink is dry next February.

[AR Husker Fan]

Indeed. Check out his thread in the Recruiting forum - it's up to two pages, so check both. LINK

 

Because we have that thread, I'm going to lock this one and let the discussion continue there.

With the offensive line in this recruiting class, along with Blaine, you have to know a top WR or two isn't far behind.
