Seems like that could be the offer he wanted (he did have a K-State as well). I have it from a good source and believe it to be true that on an unofficial to the U, PJ asked him "what if I were to offer you a scholarship right now". Supposedly he stated that he would have to weigh this offer with other offers he had and/or could get (Iowa was rumored to be getting ready to offer). Apparently that was not what PJ was expecting to hear and wasn't too happy about it. Remember he wants kids that WANT to be a Gopher. Can't say I blame either side if that's the case...each has their reasons.
NotaFanofBecky - I'm not saying the story isn't true, but it would be odd of PJ didn't offer a kid who wanted to weigh his options. We've offered many players who weighed their options.
I've said it multiple times on here, so maybe I'm bitter, but we should offer this kid. If we add another RB, it should have been him.

Doesn’t PJ offer hundreds of kids? I’m not buying this story at all.

yeah but hundreds of kids do not come in for an unofficial and sit down with you face to face. i can imagine that PJ is looking to interview these kids just as much as the kids are trying to get a sense of the program. if a kid isn't interested enough to at least show some excitement and goes with the cop out "need to consider everything," maybe he's not who you want in your program. Not saying that this is what happened, but with PJ being who he is, definitely think it is a realistic scenario.
So not visiting at all is more desirable than visiting but not committing on the spot?

Northwestern offering at this point must mean they missed on several guys they wanted during the early signing period.
IMO being an intense competitor I get the sense Fitz would like nothing more than to to body slam a showboat like PJ, and if he can take a guy out of MN and turn him into a player at Northwestern that makes PJ look bad. IMO looks like a capable, aggressive albeit unspectacular player. Will be an interesting sideshow to watch.

Yah, that’s how ya do it, yah.... take a player the the local school hasn’t gone after and hope you get lucky so that you can rub it into the face of the local school. Sounds like a great strategy for a winning program. I think Norte Dame or Alabama has a little better strategy. They go after the best players in the state.

What would cause a player to "blow up" from early signing day to today, he literally hasn't played football in that time frame? The answer is, he was just next in line for teams who missed out on their guys. Teams are only offering now because they need to settle. People are only freaking out about him because he is "one of us" and fear of missing out. Might he end up being better than we thought? Of course, but we are in a position where we don't need to gamble on long shots like this at that position.
You’re right. Your player assessments and coaching >> arguably the best coach in the Big Ten.
Maybe Hull ends up being good and maybe he doesn’t, but the offers reek of desperation.
Not sure if I’d go to northwestern if I was Hull.
He didn’t run out of gun mutch at maple grove and they are almost exclusively gun at Northwestern. Would be a different offensive fit.
His skill set fits the NDSU offense better. Not sure if they’re running the same thing at KSU.
