For the past three weeks, Mounds View senior quarterback Adam Weber went back and forth between the Gophers and Wisconsin as he tried to choose his future college home.
Ultimately, Weber said the Gophers felt like the perfect fit, which he told Minnesota coaches when he gave his verbal commitment Tuesday. Weber represents the Gophers' first high-profile commitment for the 2006 recruiting class.
"It came down to what school I could see myself at for the next four or five years," Weber said. "It's nice to have this off my back so I can enjoy my senior year."
Weber, who is ranked the sixth-best prospect in the state by Rivals.com, will be a four-year starter at Mounds View this season. He completed 81 of 158 passes for 1,344 yards and 12 TDs with two interceptions last season.
Weber (6-2, 200 pounds) is the son of former Gophers football player Bobby Weber, who played defensive back from 1974-76.
Weber said Barry Alvarez's decision to step down as Badgers coach after this season played a small part in his decision.
"It made you step back and re-evaluate it," he said. "I'm really happy with my decision."

The post Alverez demise begins to show it's face. We can only hope the same for Buckysgoodgers.
If the Badgers were recruiting him to play QB, then he can't be any good...
and the Goodgers show no sign of declining!
Are you saying Darrell Bevell Mike Samuel, Jim Sorgi, and Brooks Bollinger weren't any good Jay?
They were all pretty good at that dificult football maneuver -- the hand-off. Most of the time they could remember to turn right or left, depending on which way the Running Back was going. That isn't easy -- the RB starts out behind them and they have to remember where he's going to be if they are going to get him the ball because they can't see 'em.
If I'm not mistaken, Jim Sorgi is still backing up Peyton Manning in Indy! Not to wish harm on anybody but it would be funny if he had to come in and replace him.
