If 'Bama gets him you wouldn't have snatched from Nebraska, he's Missouri's to lose.

....ease up Husker, Cally offered him.

no reason to bag on Mizzou (except their D sucks and Pinkel is a blublocker wearing puppet show clock management disaster goofball).

I've been hearing the same thing KC, Mizzou's to lose.

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:02 pm

sure, i just wanted to rag on Pinkel. and Cally did offer.

all i'm sayin.

Frank Beamer's growth · Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:52 pm

If Mizzou loses this kid I'll be very surprised. That said Blane should go to Bama or NU. Mizzou offense will let him put up big numbers but won't prepare him for the NFL like Bama or NU will.

Adelpiero · Post by **Adelpiero** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 12:46 am

i'll be honest, i'm not sure gabbert fits the offense.

there are other qb's in state who actually might be better choices.

if your a gunslinger, mizzou isnt a bad gig, you redshirt one year and the job as a frosh is yours to throw,throw, mutha fucka throw, till your hearts contempt.

they have solid core of speedy wr. quality in backfield, etc.

who knows, its funny, gabbert was touted as #1 qb by rivals last year, now all of a sudden because he plays in Missouri, not in the football factories, he's a 4 star. the star system is a fucking joke.

Frank Beamer's growth · Fri Apr 27, 2007 1:08 pm

I thought Gabbert was going to be a 5 in rivals? I think they list him as the #3 QB

Yeah, I'd know that he's been offered, jus' that I didn't hear glowing reports from his spring game visit and those around him mentioned he seemed too distant to be serious about NU. Also that he was uncomfortable with all the kids asking for autographs.

Everything I've read is he'll be a 5* per rivals.

Adel, you think he's too much a pocket guy? Doesn't roll well?

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 3:43 pm

thie is Pinkel's big year. Daniel will light it up, Rucker and Temple are back, they get Nebraska, Tech, A&M, and Kansas in Columbia.....this is the chance to take the big boy step coming off a bowl game in which they were underdogs and *should* have won.

I'd say a good year could put Mizzou in the Alamo/even Cotton territory (though both bowls will always take Tech or ATM if it's ever equal--which is lame Texas stuff that really subverts the "integrity" of the bowl system).

edit: i see now the KU game is at Arrowhead. and at least there are some BCS schools in the MU noncon this year, albeit bottom feeders Illinois and Ole Miss.

Frank Beamer's growth · Fri Apr 27, 2007 4:15 pm

I actually heard some news on Gabbert today, may be leaning toward NU now.

Adelpiero · Post by **Adelpiero** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 11:59 pm

gabbert and others in state will go as MU goes

MU wins they stay home. they flounder late as they do under pinkel, they go to big10 or other schools

plentiful talent in missouri this year. like i said, should be 4-6 kids 4 star. couple from st.louis area, where MU has allowed big10 schools to walk in and take what they want. the tv contract and no tv had a lot to do with that. seems every fuckin big10 game is on some station.

winning solves a lot

as long as i've been following the Big 8 Missouri, recruiting the KC area, have always been associated with the phrase "sleeping giant".

I don't get to hyped with H.S. players, but I happened to check out is rival clips yesterday (before he commited) ~ karma, ~ and this young man can throw that thing a long way with great accuracy and has very good escapability. 6-5 229 and runs 4.56.

Thanks Missouri!

The only way Shawn Watson should factor into anybody's decision to attend a particular school is if you're giving the recruit a 100% guarantee that Watson will have absolutely nothing to do with playcalling duties during the 4-5 years said recruit spends at your school.

Funny thing how people here clamor they'd rather have Watson do the play calling. Based largely on 62-36. Honestly, he can't be much worse than some of the crap Callahan calls.

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Thu May 17, 2007 4:16 pm

as an impartial observer and ticket holder during the Watson years.....i was never impressed with the guy.

he likes to see himself as a WCO rocket scientist type (fits right in with Cally's i'll outsmart them! approach)....but his best teams were bruisers on the OL and Chris Brown and Bobby Purify as a power/speed tandem.

Granted, he never had much at the QB position. a hurt, cranky Craig Ochs, JUCO Pesavento, Robert Hodge*, and J. Klatt who was never the same after a shoulder injury. good player but the deep ball just wasn't there (see his debut against CSU, 03?) at least Klatt had a gun his first year but was always a statue in the pocket.

* Hodge, while a bit undersized, was a sneaky run-pass guy...at least billed as such when he came in. more run than pass as it turned out. i NEVER understood why they never tried to get him on the corner with a trailing Purify....that year. instead, the Barney-Watson brain trust kept him in the pocket. But there's a lot of things i didn't understand about Barney's decisions/gameplanning. completely wasted kid who was a fullback, was the first taken in the NFL at the position year before last....forget his name. good player. was going to move Brian Calhoun to WR, ?

Barney loved to win ugly, field position games. and he was pretty good at it given the middle of the conference talent he had most years after Rick's NFL talent on the OL (Victor Rodgers, Guorode, etc.) and Graham at TE graduated in 01. and he got a bad break when the 5 star tandem of Ochs and Marcus Houston (who WAS really good before he got hurt).....both didn't pan out.

Lawrence Vickers.

And you're pretty much dead-on with your assessment of Barnett and Watson's chronic underutilization of the already limited talent pool CU had. I was worried they were going to do the same thing with B Jax. At least Hawkins seems to realize who his playmakers are...

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Thu May 17, 2007 6:46 pm

that's right, Vickers. I also thought that Daniel Jolly kid who transferred to Texas State or somewhere had a chance to be a good player but was clearly buried in the depth chart "for some reason".

i went to the CU spring game, and what i saw looked about like a 4-5 win team given the schedule--FSU, OU, MU, NU at home gives the Buffs a shot....but, realistically, they won't be favored in any of those games. and the "peer" conference opponents they would need to beat for 6 wins are all on the road. again, not favored in many--KSU, ISU, Baylor, etc.

5 wins and Cody Hawkins making it through the season without getting hurt would be the high watermark, IMO. at least Cody gives you a chance to convert a 3rd down in the air.

Jackson will make some plays this year. but, hard to know what else to expect from them on O. OL is still so thin. and no real WR's unless the freshmen produce. Charles is kind of mystery to me. Looks great sometimes, ineffective at others. i thought the Perez kid they lost to grades (saw him in last years fall scrimmage in Folsom) was a big loss. he was a beast.

JMO.

Sucks for Pinkel to let a guy like this get out of the state to freaking Nebraska. Mizzou is supposed to have a big year with a pretty-loaded O and a D that can only get better. Now Pinkel needs even-more to finally deliver a team that makes waves.

Adelpiero · Post by **Adelpiero** » Sat May 19, 2007 10:34 pm

as i have posted on mu board, gabbert was not life or death for MU

there is plenty of talent at qb in the state, and the qb position wont be too hard to sell to other kids. you redshirt, then its yours.

also, picking nebraska over bama proves gabbert is letting some clown in his family make the decisions. Bamas program will be fighting for a national title in 3-6 years. Nebraska wont see a title bid in 10-15 years. Saban is one of best coaches in cfb, bar none, he's the real deal, pro football was a bad decision, and he realized it.

to me, this was between bama and nebraska for months, and he made a bad choice. oh well, his loss, not MU's. they will get a qb, as 4 are already interested, a perfect situation for any qb at MU. excellent wr's with stud te's, and solid rb's. you will succeed at the qb position there, if your good enough.

atleast the kid made an early choice and didnt keep MU waiting.

plenty of talent in state this year, should be 4-6 4star kids. with some bordering 4 stars. so no loss, if he doesnt get a TE and a qb or 2, then the class is doomed

a good scoop for nebraska, but he made a bad choice.

Cicero · Post by **Cicero** » Sun May 20, 2007 10:55 pm

Bama has a good shot but they signed a pretty good one in Fanuzzi this past year. I have Gabbert as the 4th best QB in this year's class.

1 Terrel Pryor
2 EJ Manuel
3 Dayne Crist
4 Gabbert

KC

i know you bring up how many people think MU could be a super sleeping giant.

problem is, tards from KC run the program, and one incident could basically sum up the program.

MU got tony vanzant, the #1 kid in highschool football, not #1 rb, but best in highschool, he chooses his state school and blows his knee out in a highschool allstar game. the rest is history. the epitomy of MU football.

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Mon May 21, 2007 3:20 am

the part about vanzant was used incorrectly in the ks tards running program paragraph. it was meant to be part of the 2nd paragraph, and how unlucky they were. The kctards running the program is factual and the results speak loud as fuck.

the kctards who run the program are a main reason its a joke of a program. years and years of enjoying losing games, as long as they were out of the stadium by halftime and able to find a table at shakespeares or harpos. MU football is what it is. 3/4 of state dont give a fuck, its a speed bump till rams and chiefs football. I dont feel that way, but sadly many do, and its a cool thing to do, go tailgate, yet never enter the stadium, or when losing chant,"harpos"

While I realize this may be asking too much of you adel, you wanna' identify the "kctards" who ostensibly run the program? You know, name names and stuff? Could you then elaborate as to just exactly how they've ruined the program

Maybe I'll put a hit out on them.

Then again, they have been landing some big time players from the KC area (Coffman, among others) maybe these "kctards" allegedly "running the program" aren't such a bad thing.

Gabbert visiting MU this weekend for tech game.

his father said, if Callahan is gone, his son will look elsehwere. Mr gabbert and cally are good friends from their SIU days.

Also, Will Compton will be visiting.

when it rain it pours for NU.

a 5 star and a 4 star LB looking elsewhere and possibly going bye bye. ewf!

if i had to guess, he will be going to a SEC school. And like i said, from what i've seen of him, he doesnt look like a fit. But if he comes, no doubt it will persuade others to come. Compton would be the major steal.
