Tyler Gabbert Decommits

PrintDave Matter of the Columbia Daily Tribune reports that Tyler Gabbert has broken his pledge to attend Nebraska, and will make a visit this weekend to Missouri. That's two high-profile decommits this week; earlier, receiver Curtis Carter also dropped his plans to sign with Nebraska.
After results of Nebraska's offensive problems? Carter indicated that he didn't think Nebraska's offense fit his style of play. But truth be told, any player should realize that Nebraska's offense became what it is because of a lack of playmakers on the field...and that after watching Brandon Kinnie leap up the depth chart, should realize that if you can play, you'll play.
Gabbert's decommitment shouldn't be a surprise. His brother did the exact same thing. What it does suggest is that this staff needs to come up with some answers about what they want their offense to be, and start recruiting in that direction. If players aren't a fit in that style, then we shouldn't be worried about decommitments.
I wonder if this opens up a scholarship for Millard South's Bronson Marsh, who looked intriguing in the Class A championship game, despite only being a "two star" recruit by Rivals.

Darn we had a fanshot going at http://www.cornnation.com/2009/12/9/1193195/little-gabbert-decommits.
Best of luck to Gabbert wherever he ends up.
But nothing about Carter...
It’s more than just Gabbert. I’m not in a panic, but I think it’s interesting and wondering if there aren’t shifts underway already in the program.
Believe you guys got a pretty good LB in Lavonte David...
JUCO kid who was likely a Kansas lean prior to the Mangino deal. He’s a December grad so no time to wait, plus he certainly has to be looking forward to being part of the resurgent Husker defense.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Where exactly was Gabbert Going to fit in on this offense anyway? I saw some of his tape and was less than impressed by what I saw. Blaine was the real “get” in the family and we’ll just continue to roll his ankles every year so we don’t have to worry about him.
Hang 'em!!!

Not sure what he'll find in Missouri
They have this brother, and then some pretty solid QB recruits there already, or lined up for this year and next year.
I guess I wasn’t ever horribly impressed with him, but what do I know (not much).
NU is really really hurting for skill positions right now though. They best be out there finding us some dependable RB’s.
You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.
