I think we need to get busy and win some games to keep Gabbert and Rome. If we fall on our face the rest of the way, I would not count on seeing Rome in Red. Although I don't think Florida is interested in him, he will have a lot of other schools to choose from. Seems like he is a little fickle on committments and if things look like they are falling apart here, I'm afraid he will jump ship again. If Gabbert's main plan is to hit the field early and Green struggles through the end of the season he might see that as an opportunity to compete for a 4 year starting career. On the other hand if the offense is really bad the rest of the way and Watson leaves, he may go elsewhere since that was the family connection. And if Green catches fire and looks great, Tyler may go somewhere else, probably Missouri but I wouldn't rule out KU.
Does anyone know how Rome is doing this year? I read on one of the sites that he had fallen off the Rival's national list. Is he hurt?
Billyball, maybe it's the pessimist in me ... but I'm with you. I see more of a chance that we lose Gabbert and Rome then we steal away Kony Ealy from Mizzoo. A debate could be made for all three recruits going to Mizzoo just as easy as they all come to the Huskers.
At present, our Huskers are just like in the movie Top Gun ... "we have a confidence isssue". We are not playing fundamental football, atleast on the "O" side of the ball ... and that makes for some embarrasing televised games. Kinda makes you wonder if you want to play OU on TV and if you want to make it the Big 12 Championship.
We need to get back to the basics and play with lots of heart!
