NU Football: Huskers get star Missouri QB Gabbert
Published Wednesday | May 16, 2007
NU Football: Huskers get star Missouri QB Gabbert WORLD-HERALD BUREAU LINCOLN - Highly touted quarterback Blaine Gabbert has picked Nebraska over Alabama and Missouri, Scout.com reported Tuesday night. Gabbert is a 6-foot-4, 225-pounder from Parkway West High in Ballwin, Mo., a St. Louis suburb. As a junior last season, Gabbert threw for 1,523 yards and 20 touchdowns on a team that included a 1,200-yard rusher. Scout.com ranks Gabbert as a four-star prospect and No. 54 overall on its Top 100 for 2008. Nebraska already has commitments from three others on that list - offensive linemen Trevor Robinson of Elkhorn (No. 69 on the Scout.com list), Bryce Givens of Denver (No. 88) and Baker Steinkuhler of Lincoln Southwest (No. 94). Gabbert also had scholarship offers from Oregon, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas State and Minnesota. At the Nebraska spring game last month, he said: "It's crazy. The fan support and atmosphere is amazing." NU further stocked its quarterback ranks for the future. The Huskers' current roster includes sophomore-to-be Zac Lee and freshman Patrick Witt, both candidates to redshirt next season. In addition to Gabbert, Robinson, Givens and Steinkuhler, NU also has commitments from tailback Collins Okafor of Omaha Westside, offensive lineman Dan Hoch of Harlan, Iowa, and defensive back David Whitmore of Port Arthur, Texas.

This is huge, but he can't sign until February. I don't expect Pinkel to stop recruiting Gabbert. This class looks outstanding along with the highly-rated offensive linemen we have committed. NU is about to have solid competition at QB. I think it sends a message to people who doubt Callahan and the West Coast Offense when a QB with this much talent wants to play at NU.

Sounds like the deciding factor was playing time. He will only have to sit for a year at Nebraska, while he would be watching Chase Daniel for two years before getting his chance to start.

Quote:
A friend of Chuck Gabbert (his father) posted on Mizzou's rivals site that his parents that they liked that he would have to sit and mature a little longer at Nebraska, and that there wouldn't be as much spotlight on him right away as at Mizzou. As for Mizzou fans saying he was a lock... when the people that are paid to give you that information say that's the case, what are you supposed to believe? I think the only thing that upset Mizzou fans was people saying we had no chance with him. Obviously, there was a chance or the Tigers wouldn't have made it into his final 3. kU fans have no room to talk about football recruiting... how are you guys doing with the Brown brothers? Congrats to the Huskers. You got a great athlete who sounds like a better fit in your offense than ours... and I don't think this kid is going to pull a Josh Freeman.

Unless Mizzou pulls a KState and hires his dad.
