QB Michael Tamburo Close to Becoming Boise State's Latest Recruit

Boise State's crowded 2009 recruiting class may just get more crowded...and with another talented quarterback, no less. California quarterback Joe Southwick was the first verbal commit for the Broncos way back in May, and many thought that he was to be the only quarterback in the class...that is, until the coaching staff announced this summer that Nick Lomax would be transferring.

The Broncos suddenly found themselves with very little depth at QB behind starter Kellen Moore, and many suggested that the staff go after one more signal caller. Enter Michael Tamburo, a Jared Zabransky clone out of Gwinnett High in Georgia who holds offers from a half-dozen programs.

Tamburo apparently visited Boise this weekend and came away impressed...very impressed.

"...(Tamburo) likes the turf, the school, the program, the city, the coaches...well, he likes just about everything that has to do with Boise State. In fact, the North Gwinnett senior quarterback likes the place so much he was on the verge of committing to the Broncos Monday night. Tamburo was waiting to talk to the Bronco coaches before giving them his final commitment."

I guess as long as the coaches have their cell phones turned on tonight, we may well be seeing a new verbal in the morning.

"'It’s where I want to be,' Tamburo said."

Did I say, "may be seeing a new verbal"? I meant, "will be seeing a new verbal." And that makes 17.
