zff Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 From Cantonrep.comGAMBLE GETS BIG TEN OFFERMassillon running back and safety Brian Gamble said he received his first Big Ten offer last week from Illinois Head Coach Ron Zook. Gamble is exactly the kind of player Zook is rebuilding the Illini program with. If not for classroom issues when Gamble was a freshman, he’d be a major Big Ten recruit.“I’m taking a correspondence class right now to make up for that,” Gamble said. “Right now, I’ve got offers from Illinois, Toledo, Akron, Ball State, Eastern Michigan and Ohio University.”Reach Repository sports writer Todd Porter at (330) 580-8340 or e-mail: From Scout.comThe Kirk Herbstreit Ohio vs. USA Challenge gave an abundance of players the opportunity to shine on the National stage against the highest levels of competition. Athlete Brian Gamble made the most of his opportunity and led Washington High (OH) to an upset over a highly ranked Chandler Hamilton squad (AZ). Of all the players that made a difference in the outcome of a game on that weekend none may have had a bigger performance that Brian Gamble, a 6-foot-0, 190-pound athlete from Washington High in Massillon, Ohio. Gamble led his team all over the field helping to secure a 35-20 victory over Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton, who was ranked 13th nationally. In the game Gamble rushed for 159 yards, had a touchdown reception, completed a 66 yard pass, and led his team on defense slowing the potent Hamilton attack. Gamble, who already holds offers from Akron, Ball State and Eastern Michigan, has been receiving some strong interest since the September 1st contact period, and discusses the game and the recruiting process in a video interview. Post-Game Video Interview with Brian Gamble Watch VideoAs a junior, Gamble put up some astonishing numbers. On Defense, he racked up 106 total tackles (73 solo) and three interceptions. On offense, he ran the ball 248 times for over 1,500 yards and 17 touchdowns and added an additional 650 yards and four touchdowns by hauling in 60 receptions earning All-Ohio, All-Conference, and All-County honors for his performanceSource Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckzip Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Last year he was considered a sure big time recruit. What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Pouch Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Academics and eligibility issues have kept BCS schools away. If he has cleared these up, BCS offers will start rolling in and we have little chance of landing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
