AR Husker Fan Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Was his team a run-oriented team? Or does he have bad hands? The reason I ask is that he seems like an ideal threat over the middle. Good size, decent speed - you have to wonder why he is thought of primarily as a blocker and didn't have many receptions. Was it the scheme? Lack of personnel at the quarterback postion? Cement hands? Anyone have any info on that? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Seemed to be the scheme due to the Scout teaser that said he showed ability even though the offense didn't cater to it. He appears to be a JB Phillips clone. Quote Link to comment

KCforNU Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Sounds like the perfect guy to carry on the tradition of our bruising FB / HB of the Dane Todd variety. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 From Husker Journal...Gimm likely to commit soon! JULY 28, 2007. PREP STAR JONATHAN GIMM, TE/H-Back, from Spring (Westfield), Texas has offers from Nebraska, Kansas, Rice, Boise State and Louisiana Tech. "I just came back from Nebraska and I liked it a lot." said Gimm, "They are number one on my list right now. I will probably commit to Nebraska in a week or two. I want to talk it over with my parents and coach." "Nebraska is recruiting me as a tight-end and H-back." he said, "At the H-back position I will be the lead blocker and catch some passes. In the West Coast Offense, Nebraska will send me in motion too." "Coach Watson is my primary recruiter." he said, "He's a great coach, he knows his stuff. Coach Watson text messages me every day." "My mother likes Nebraska too." said Gimm, "We toured the weight room and the locker room, it's very spacious." "The Nebraska coaches are great, very energetic, and they seem to get along. The city of Lincoln, it's all about football there." Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 There are also rumors that he wanted to commit but the NU coaches told him to wait until he'd taken some official visits. The coaches may have been trying to slow-play him and it didn't work. Quote Link to comment
