T-BONE Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 How much will his brother have to do with his choice ? Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 From Husker Journal: FEBRUARY 14, 2008. PREP STAR GABE LYNN, DB, 6-1, 180, 4.4, TULSA (JENKS), OKLAHOMA Gabe has offers from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Missouri, North Carolina and Kansas State. “I’m going to North Carolina Junior Day’s this weekend.” said Lynn, “Coach John Blake is recruiting me, he’s a cool guy.” “Coach Blake told me that I could play early there, just show up and I will have a spot. Coach Butch Davis and John are both from the Tulsa area.” “Phillip Dillard (Nebraska) is my brother.” he said, “He just tells me do what is best for me. I do like Nebraska game day atmosphere. The program is pretty cool; it’s all about football there.” “Nebraska coaches can’t call recruits, I haven’t called them yet.” “Coach Pelini has been successful every place he has been, Nebraska, Oklahoma and LSU. His defenses are always ranked high.” “I like Oklahoma, its close to home.” said Lynn, “I grew up hearing about the Sooners, it’s been a part of my life.” “I call the coaches (Oklahoma) all the time and they are reaching out to me. They tell me things I need to know.” “I like Oklahoma State, its only a one hour 45 minute drive. I like the staff their too.” said Lynn, “OSU program is coming up, they are getting closer every year.” “Oklahoma State is spending lots of money on their facilities, stadium and new weight room.” “I don’t have any favorites right now, I’m wide open.” he said, “I would like to decide before the season starts, but I don’t want to force anything.” Gabe added that he will attend Nike camp in Texas next month and will camp at Oklahoma and Nebraska this summer. Is that how Coach Blake gets recruits? Just show up. I don't like that philosophy. I want someone who shows up and works their tail off and earns their spot. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Maybe we are misinterpreting his statement. He didn't say he'd be guaranteed a starting spot. It also makes me wonder that if we aren't misinterpreting, what does it mean if Gabe Lynn warms to that idea...on the one hand, you can't blame him, on the other... Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 At least Dillard is only a Jr and would be here to help him through his first year which would be his toughest probably. I won't get to excited about recruiting until the season starts because if Bo can get his defense up to a high level and the offense stays somewhat like last year recruits will want to come here.

BigWillie Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 ^ The only thing is, Lynn should have his decision by summer. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 and then he could have another decision in December... it's a long year and nothing is done until February even if he does commit to us in the summer. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If Blake is able to lock him up, he'll stick to his commit. Blake and Lynn's family became pretty close after Philip's recruitment. Stoops just does not lose recruits for the most part, especially in-state guys he really wants. If he locks him up, it would take a miracle to get him to even re-think his commit.

DeathCultArmaggedon Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Seems as if he is looking to visit Nebraska in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 He will be visiting for the Spring Game... nothing like having 75,000 at a practice to win someone over. Plus his brother seems to be making a connection with the coaches Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Blake or no Blake, the biggest reason he may be hard to get starts with the letter O. Oregon? DAMNIT MAN!!!! You are not allowed to utter that word ever again! I hate that school with a passion now because of all the recruits they've gotten in the last few years. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Brother will have to do some recruiting for us if we want Lynn. Dillard developing a relationship with the coaches to the point he trusts them enough to recruit his brother here is VERY important. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMan Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Any update after the spring game? All rivals has is a little teaser about him giving NU a thumbs up. Quote Link to comment
