Washburn RB Jeff Jones is the first Minnesota prep to commit for the class of 2014, and he’s Gopher bound!
GopherHole is excited to announce that it is expanding its football recruiting coverage with the addition of VAmes to its staff. For the past five years, VAmes has been compiling top player lists for Minnesota HSfootball players and posting every couple of months on GopherHole football message boards. He recently approached GopherHole staff about moving his top players list over to our webpage as a way to help promote our top players in the state, but also keep recruiting enthusiasts informed on our future top players in the state.
VAmes pulls together these lists by identifying top sophomores in the state that start varsity, pick up varsity playing on 5A or 6A teams, pick up All State or All Conference honors, and have height/weight potential for D1 football. He will continuously update the recruiting profiles and updates on each of the top in-state players, which can start as early as the sophomore year but primarily in the junior year.
Although it is hard to quantify the results of his success, in the Class of 2012 nearly 50 players picked up D1 football offers to include 12 BCS offers, which is probably close to a record for the state. For the Class of 2013, approximately 40 players picked up D1 offers with a significant number of BCS walk-ons from the state.
As with all of its content, this expanded coverage from VAmes will continue to be free – a long time commitment by GopherHole. We look forward to having VAmes updates on the GopherHole webpages now as well as future updates on the message boards. For the latest on the top players in the Class of 2014 and Class of 2015, please check the following links. To provide input on top players missing from the list or if you would like to get involved, please feel free to email VAmes at [email protected].
