5 STAR ERIK GILBERT COMMITS TO NEBRASKA

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Why died he need a waiver?

I think because he's already transferred twice.

That being said, JT Daniels went to USC, then Georgia, then West Virginia and now he's at his 4th school. Rules should apply the same for everyone and the NCAA should be in no position to be denying kids the chance to play regardless if they became unhappy or whatever.

NCAA needs to be seen and not heard, they've had the gravy train for decades so they need to get on board the new train lest they get freight-trained themselves.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

If he can get his head on straight, he’s one of the best tightend’s in America. Also, if you follow UGA football at all, you know we have a first rounder in Brock Bowers and a potential first rounder in Darnell Washington, plus a complex offense. Tough situation for him.

Good luck to you guys…I think it’s safe to say you’ve gained a number of dawg fans that’ll be pulling for you.

Dawgs are reminiscent of the 90's Huskers. They'd beat teams by 28 and scare another 21 out of 'em.

 

[phoenix4nu]

2 years left would need a waiver to play this year though

He has three years of eligibility remaining.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Three years and no waiver necessary.

I heard 2 years, so I hope you're right and I'm wrong. LOL

 

[phoenix4nu]

I heard 2 years, so I hope you're right and I'm wrong. LOL

His first year was 2020, which didn't count because it was the COVID year. He redshirted in 2021 and played as a redshirt freshman in 2022. So, he has three years of eligibility remaining. Rivals reported that he has two years of eligibility remaining, but that is not correct.

terrific stuff

Great opportunity for Rhule to put his degree to use

love it

week 0 cannot come fast enough

Big time Tight End from Georgia.
We aren't done!

Arik Gilbert

Transfers of this magnitude can go in all directions. We had one last year that broke our single season records and if you go back and look at our scoring, I doubt we win one game after Frost was fired. He was pretty much it. Then again, we had a physically gifted Juco transfer who did almost...

Hard nosed and physical. I remember those Nebraska teams. The beatdown of Florida was epic. Made it more enjoyable living down here in gator land.

 

[Redblood23]

Team is going to look completely different, thank God. Now cook the groceries and make the meal.

 

[19Football19]

Not sure how the rule is, but he didn't play or practice for UGA in 21, could that count as a sit out year and he is eligible now? He only played in a couple of games at UGA IN 22.

He’s transferred twice in two years. That’s why he needs a waiver. I’d be surprised if he didn’t get them to waive it.

Smart indicated that he is supportive of the kid. Kirby has two NFL guys at TE and I assume good young ones on the roster. Gilbert can be a productive guy if he can get his mind right. The kids oozes athleticism.

Kirby Smart said as much.

@scopeandtime - you gonna be a team player and delete the fake HBK with the capital “i” ? Do the right thing!

Punk a$$ kids

Another tough guy lol

His Mom and brother traveled to Lincoln and basically explained Arik wants to do the right things and get a degree. He admits he screwed up! So we'll see.

My biggest concern when Rhule was hired was not his coaching but rather his recruiting. I had no doubt he could coach but my questions were would he and his staff go after the big fish (like I've been begging for since Callahan was here)?

I am ecstatic to say that he and his staff have destroyed any concerns I previously had in that regard. I'm actually legitimately excited about Nebraska football for the first time since Frost was hired (not so much after the 2nd season). This has been an incredibly successful offseason and I'm stoked to see how things shape out in the coming seasons if this recruiting level is the new standard at Nebraska.

You better believe!! Things are happening overnight

I think because he's already transferred twice.

That being said, JT Daniels went to USC, then Georgia, then West Virginia and now he's at his 4th school. Rules should apply the same for everyone and the NCAA should be in no position to be denying kids the chance to play regardless if they became unhappy or whatever.

NCAA needs to be seen and not heard, they've had the gravy train for decades so they need to get on board the new train lest they get freight-trained themselves.

Because going to Nebraska is his 2nd transfer. LSU->UGA—>NU

 

[American Horse]

Oh no!
Are the Huskers winning the recruiting wars and off-season…AGAIIN?!!!

 

[Walleye79]

Oh no!

Oh no!
Another dbag troll...AGAIN?!!!

[Chuck003]

Highest graded TE recruit in the last 20 years. Saw a story on ESPN about him. Had numerous "issues" at LSU and Georgia. If he gets his shit together, he could be special.

 

[RedCap]

Maybe Rhule's Nebraska can become the rehab destination for 5-star players who didn't cut it at their previous school just like Saban's Alabama now is the rehab destination team for ex-head coaches who didn't cut it at their schools.

Great great post

1,000,000% agree

 

[huskerfan66]

I would think that should be a redshirt year unless he's used it as far as eligibility. But transfer/eligibility could be different. Not sure how many waivers ncaa has ever denied

Rightly or wrongly, the NCAA has "loop holes" which are applied to some transfers. If you say you were racially bullied or have health (mental) problems at your current school for example, you can get a waiver even if you transferred before.

 

[JDCasson02]

Does anyone know how many years of eligibility he has left? None of the articles I've read have said.

3 years

 

[JDCasson02]

“Gilbert, who has up to three years of eligibility remaining, is the Huskers' 10th transfer portal addition of the offseason.”

 

[redwine65]

he just needs to focus any mental problems on opposing defenses..
problem solved
next!

 

[coach-ed]

Now I'm really worried how we are going to reduce our roster down 12 guys....NOT!!!

The numbers (for the most part) will take care of themselves come spring (Spring Game)!

 

[shocksker]

114th highest ALL TIME recruit in 247 database. ALL TIME ANY POSITIONS. If its about projected talent or potential, 247 thinks he is an all time great type talent.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

Great opportunity for Rhule to put his degree to use

Rhule has a masters in Educational Psychology. It is the same degree Tom Osborne achieved both a masters and doctorate in.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Should change his name to American Horses' Ass.

Justin Fields when he was at Georgia comes to mind.

Did I read somewhere that Recruiting Analyst had a degree in Uneducational Transference of Performance Non-Evaluation?

It's a degree program for those who are overeducated for their intelligence.

 

[Frosts Playcall Sheet]

He has three years of eligibility remaining.

Yup you’re right I must’ve misread the article that’s my mistake. Do you know is it a 3 to play 3 where he’s lose a year if he has to sit out from transferring?

 

[spartanhusker]

Yeah.. they ranked #26 in recruiting .. I had a hard time going higher than that, but they have been crushing the portal and late undecided recruits .. like I said, I was wrong

And I don’t compare Rhule to Frost. Tallest midget or smartest retard comes to mind ..

I get you…. And I’m still cautious…. BUT I’m so impressed with the grind…☺️

GREAT line!!!!!
