He's not wrong on every point, but thanks for your insight.

We didn't recruit him as a TE, and he won't be moved up recruiting rankings because he picked PSU.
But thanks for your insight.

We didn't recruit him as a TE; he might move up in the recruiting rankings; Voss was ranked higher, he is 225 and likely will be a better player. Again, he was not wrong on all points.
 


Someone on the Triton staff told me Penn State offered a lot more money. Also Penn State showed up in person more often than MN.
 

My cousins went to Penn State. Having been there all I can say is State College, the campus, and Beaver Stadium are way overrated. That has nothing to do with his decision. It is in the middle of nowhere. It is redneck Appalachia.
 

Just went through old HS classes to see how other TEs in the state have panned out. What hurt the most was seeing other guys end up at schools close to hear and start/get drafted….

Either way going back to the 2018 class there hasn’t really been a precedent set by MN TEs. Obviously 18 had BSF who was solid enough to get drafted but didn’t quite reach that ceiling in his CFB time. Still one of the best recent TEs from the state. The only other two to really talk about are Sam Peters (us) and Chase Andorff (Neb). Both mid 3 star guys but with decent size and upside. Neither are near the top of their respective position group at this time.

Obviously a direct comparison to Voss/Petersohn can’t be made. They’re both rated considerably higher than the aforementioned TEs and have different size/ability. More so just to highlight how crazy having to 2 4 star TEs in one class is for us. If they both reach their ceilings it’ll be a historic local class.

some of you guys need to be better. I don't know the kid personally but I've seen him play a few times. He's really talented and made a decision that he feels is best for him. I've never heard anyone say anything but positive things about him. Wish him the best of luck.

I haven’t read every post - but 100. I’m sad he won’t be here but life goes on and good luck to the young man.

Gabe Weaver might still make this a two 4★ TE class. Rated high by 247and gets a nice bump by the final. We shall see.

With NIL, I've completely flipped on this. Now, if a MN local heads to an out-state team, and then comes back, I'm okay with that. Let them spend time in the other team's weight room burning the other team's NIL dollars, and come back when you've put on enough weight and gained enough experience to play. I'm somewhat surpised that helmet schools even recruit kids out of highschool anymore. Wait until they're ready to play, and then come in with NIL cash and offer them a slot...

I think it's because they play some of those kids out of high school - 'bama played a 17 year old WR last year and he was doing fine.

Plus, I'm sure they'd rather have the kids get their (Alabama/Texas/etc) coaching from the get-go, as opposed to being coached elsewhere.

I’d love to hear more on the thought process of MN on being so adamant on him being an LB. It sucks but I trust the staff. Weaver and Voss are great options and LB is solid also. I think what hurts most is him being an instate guy and kind of stunting the momentum we were feeling. I’m sure the staff made a good mark in case he gets home sick down the road.

Surprised they didn't just stick with him being an athlete and finding him a spot. I agree that possibly pigeonholing him into a spot seems odd.
