Memo to Seth Green

Donate To GopherHole

Seth has lots of talent so let's see how it plays out ! Give him credit for working hard to be good. He has a big upside and will get better. He looks like he will be able to be coachable
 

I would care about Green if he was Golden. Would love to see him switch.
 

I just love Seth Green because he has 4 stars next to his name. 4 stars automatically means AA and Heisman material. Come and be Golden Seth

That's the great thing about the GopherHole, i.e. English is not required. Actually nothing is really required. You can say anything without have any real knowledge about the subject. Isn't America a great country!

I think this post summarized GH as eloquently and simply as possible. Some days I love GH for the reasons listed above, other days I want to bang my head on my desk.

Look at fancy-boy over here using big words like "eloquently".

...and if Demry Croft got an offer from Oregon, you still think he'd commit, here?
Of course he wants to play here, were his only offers!

Penn State probably would've offered if Croft showed any interest. He told them no thanks when they became interested. I get what you're saying and that may not have been the case if a helmet school came calling, but I think he genuinely wants to be a Gopher for other reasons than it just being his only power 5 offer.
 

At a time when we are on the cusp of paying kids to play college football, a kid chose to go to the school with the deepest pocketed booster backing in the nation. Seems like a no lose situation. Free education, Utopian facilities and worst case you might get paid to sit the bench. If there ends up being a minimum and a maximum that players can receive for pay, you can guarantee Oregon will be on one side of that limit and we will be on the other.

That was in....2008?

Plus, if Gray knew he'd almost never play QB here, do you think he'd still commit?

Since we are playing the what if game...if you told Gray that he would also play for 3 years plus (see how long) in the NFL after he graduated from the U...do you think he would care that he didn't play all that much QB? I am guessing Q feels pretty good about his life right now.

The thing that has impressed me the most about Gray was his willingness to help the team in whatever capacity was asked of him. Internally he may have been disappointed about not playing more at QB. Ultimately, I believe it worked in his favor when it came to landing a spot on an NFL roster. It may have been a different story if he went somewhere that wanted him as a QB exclusively.

Anyone whohas seen Seth Green play knowshe'sthe best QB in the state. Those newspaper awards don't mean jack. I watched Seth Green at the Gophers summer camp before his SOPHOMORE year of high school and he was the best QB there before Perra, Wilkie, and Dimonic who were going to be seniors. He was offered that week by Louisville and later the Gophers. So don't tell me the Mankato kid is a better QB.

However, I don't think Oregon is going to work out for him in terms of becoming a starter at any position. I do think he will regret not staying home in a few years.

I've sen Seth Green play quite a bit and he is a legt D1 player now with an immense amount of potential. But there is absolutely no way he was a better QB in 2013 than Perra. You're the first person, who claims to have seen them both play, that I've ever hard make that claim. Perra was WAY better statistically playing with a lot less talent around him. He turned a very average Roseville team into a contender. Green played on an extremely talented East Ridge team that kind of underachieved.

Green deserves better offers than Perra. I'd rather have Green than Perra (even though I think Perra is a legit D1 QB). But that is based on upside. Perra was the better QB in 2013 and it really wasn't even close.

+1 on the 2013 season after seeing two games each. Perra also took his team further into State.

Moses Alipate gives a big thumbs-up to this post :cool:
 




Jackson erdman PWO to penn state. Not a good fit stylistically with the gophers though so not a huge loss.
I'd have taken him over green this year. Green has the better upside by a lot. Especially in the minnesota system.

ESPN #35 overall prospect just commited to Oregon. A Quarterback. Do we get Seth now? Do we want him?

The big question is will he fit the Claeys system. Trying to pin down a High School student as far as whether he'd mesh with the team or not is a roll of the dice. What we do know is he left Minnesota for the "greener football fields" of Texas. He enthusiastically committed to Oregon and really didn't look back, until now.

Hey, if the whole process has shaped him into someone that humbly bleeds maroon & gold; I'm all for it. Great athlete.

Seth Green decommitted from Oregon a long time ago. I'm not going to re-read this whole thread, but (at minimum) that fact is well known on all the paid sites. Yet another QB commitment doesn't change anything -- Oregon doesn't want him as a QB and he's not going there. And the fact that a bunch of other schools aren't jumping in to offer at QB should tell you something about where his stock is at now.

Interesting. According to 247 he is still commited to Oregon so maybe thats why no other schools are contacting him.

I'm sure schools are well aware he's available. The problem for Seth is that QB's commit early in the process and most schools will have their 2016 QB commit already. It'll be interesting to see how the next few months play out for him. He's interested in Minnesota, what's unclear is if Minnesota actually wants him.

This staff is not real keen on "daddy knows best" guys.

Who cares what Seth Green's dad want's. If Seth Green want's to be a Gopher and the Gopher staff is inclined to have him then we should be on board with him being a Gopher. Kid is a talented athlete, he may have a future as a QB he may not, that said, if the staff see's a fit and Green want's to be here and be a Gopher and has moved on from Oregon, then why bad mouth the kid. Yeah he turned us down for Oregon and they booted him from QB, doesn't mean he still isn't a talent. He followed coach Sherels on twitter so he must have some interest. Gophers need good athletes, for all we know he could end up being a really good tight end like Max Williams. Williams played HS QB and he ended up being a pretty explosive athlete for the Gophers. If they want to offer him as an athlete I could see it, give him a shot at QB but promise nothing. All spots are earned with this staff that should be fairly clear by now.
