Assessing the talent: FYI - This is kid is a straight up stud! I saw him play in the 4A HS championship on Sat and he was unbelievable!!! He broke Graham Harrells TX HS passing yardage record as a junior!!

Lake Travis was by 6 points with a little over a minute in the game and they had the ball. All they had to do was down it and the game was over. Instead, the coaching staff sent him out passing to get Harrells record...lol. Pretty ballsy considering it was for the HS championship. I think he is on the Rivals 100 to watch list.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 10% Anyway, it looks like he has NU on his radar. Also, he dad played for the San Diego chargers back in the day. His name was Gale Gilbert.

Monster stats his Junior year:

359 for 555 (64.7%) with 4826 yds, 52 TDs, and 12 INTs

Must have some mobility with 400 yds on 96 carries with 6 TDs

Good size at 6-3, 185.

I don't put much stock into Jr's "committing" to a university so soon. He is a stud though no doubt!

I agree.......................I also don't think I'm ready to deal with recruiting so soon because I'm tired from today! :lol:

Especially if he does commit to NU, all that does is put a bullseye on his back for Hawkins at CU to start recruiting him! haha

Rivals is hinting that he's going to committ to Texas today. Not a huge surprise, seeing as how he's from Austin.

 

[Touchdown Tommie]

I won't put anything in to his commitment until next February.....

So does that mean it is wide open for Russell Shepard another 5 star QB from Texas? Or does he project to a different position in College?

I think that a Gilbert commitment to Texas would certainly make Russell Shepard think twice about going there.

Committed to Texas.

Maybe we should target this guy then:
