5-star QB from Missouri, recently backed out of a verbal to Nebraska. Rivals still has us in his top 4... we still recruiting him hard and do we have a chance?

Mizzou, imo. They are having a great year and it's instate. He won't go to Nebraska and I don't think we are pushing for a QB unless his last name is Pryor.

Also talked to a guy who goes to Mizzou but also attended alot of Gabbert's games this year. Says Gabbert is having a definite down year and doesn't really know how he's even keeping his 5 star status

Yeah but I am not sure if Mizzou will take him bacause of that Dalton kid that just commited to Mizzou for next year. I hear Dalton is better than Gabbert up here in my circles. So if Mizzou takes Gabbert then I think they will lose Dalton.

Nice to have another Vol from MO on here :hi: They will certainly take Gabbert. As for Dalton, we will have to see. Jimmy Clausen was #1 in the nation and Dayne Crist still committed to ND the following year. Competition doesn't scare kids like Dalton. Either way I agree with you that Dalton should be much better than Gabbert. I watched Dalton play my HS team quite a few times and even when we were beating him, the kid scared me to death.

We will see if that is the case. I am not sure if Mizzou will take on that escapade with two top QBs. I think they will lose one of the two, because they want to be a featured QB. Maybe one of them might go to KU after the season they have had. So we will see how this will turn out. Im going to keep monitoring it.

30 miles north of Columbia... You mean like Moberly?

I'm the third Missouri resident here I guess... about 45 minutes west of Moberly.

yeah i live in Moberly, I go to Central Christian College. Yeah I do not think we stand a chance with Gabbert, but like I said I dont think Mizzou wants both. They may get them but I think one will transfer or something.

My dad is pretty good friends with Dr. Oakes. Do you know Mike Worstell?

I know of him not personally. I transfered here. It is pretty small college so I know most of the people you may be talking about. How do you know all of them.

Mike comes to our church sometimes b/c his brother Tom is the associate pastor. We fund his missions as well. Dr. Oakes has come down before numerous times and we've taken him out to lunch. He's a pretty interesting guy.

So do you actually live in KC or one of the suberbs like Liberty. This is really strange on how small the world can be.

Are you talking about Raymore-Peculiar. If so boy are yall having a rough year from what I hear up here.

Well yea I used to go to Ray-Pec. I'm pretty sure we have a losing record this year but trust me it was expected. I played some backyard football with 5 or 6 of the starters on this years team a while back and dominated them by myself. And I never played football...they're terrible. Chase Coffman's younger brother should be QB next year and that's when you will see us come back. But I won't care. I'm transferring from UMKC to UT in January.

yeah they are like 3-6. So how good is Coffman's bro. I am originaly from TN but went into the military and ended up in MO. So why does Mizzou loose most of their instate talent to other teams. Is there any reasons on your side of the state why Gabbert went Neb instead of Mizzou first.

Little Coffman is supposed to be the greatest QB to ever don a Ray-Pec jersey. We'll see about that though...Mizzou has always just been a school that was walking the line between really good and just plain mediocre. They're only starting to see they're full potential recently. As for why they're starting to keep instate talent I think it's just a direct effect of how good they've been doing. They own St. Louis right now but are still average in KC. They've gotten Temple, Coffman, Derrick Washington recently from RP, but they definetely don't have RP locked down since we had an OL and the other Coffman go to K-State. I didn't follow Gabbert that much so I'm really not sure about him. Maybe he just wanted to get away from home?

We will see but that side of the state gets tougher and tougher every year. So whats making you transfer to UT. I havent asked Mr. Worstell about all this yet. I bet he thinks it will be funny. So if UT could land Gabbert do you think we could make a small pipeline into MO. That would be interesting since this is where every other school except Mizzou take their depth from.

I just wanted to add that I grew up a tiger fan and transferred to UT to finish school. Mizzou has let a lot of instate talent slip through the cracks in years past but lately the numbers have started to change. If you look at the Mizzou starting offense 10 of 11 starters are all instate kids. I think that 6 starting defensive players are instate as well. Mizzou is on the map now and kids like Gabbert are taking notice. If he commits to UM don't be surprised to see 2-4 other blue chip prospects to follow him. He has taken several unofficial trips to UM these last few weeks and he is close with other big name players. Dalton has stated that he plans on comming to UM no matter who they take. Besides I think Dalton will redshirt and sit for a year anyway.
