Pierce Petersohn to announce tomorrow!!!

[WindyCityGopher]

This now looks like 1,000% committed territory, which almost certainly means he's gone.

Respect my decision!

 

[Word]

He supposedly runs a 4.54 40 so if he could learn precise route running he probably could be a WR. If I was PJ I would try to get him here as a WR.

6-10 high jump also. that's absurd

Clearing the bar on only 6 of 10 attempts is nothing special.

6-7 would be elite

That would be great for last year's free throws.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

If you ever play league football with men who played wr or te. Let’s just say it’s step step gone. And the guy who played te looks like an o line man.

With a few exceptions. But, Stu Voight not one of them.

Clearing 6.10 once would impress me

Points for the Stu shout out!

Points for the Stu shout out!

Other than being a stinkin' Badger and committing bank fraud

Interesting Stu fact: held the WI state shot put record for 39 years! Phenomenal athlete from Madison

 

[beavergopher]

The PJ staff told him they see him as a Linebacker and he prefers TE.

They should get their eyes checked. We need offense!

I would take him at WR, put him on the jump ball go get it routes over the middle with his vertical. He would never be a blocker with his build but could be a Max Williams type catching the ball.

Eric Decker but slightly bigger.

[SeaBee_Gopher]

Have you checked out the “other” two tight ends in this class? Pj is not recruiting 4 of them. The kid does not want to come here and loyal to Franklin. Although I do like the receiver angle with Voss at tight end. Have a great class if it sticks as is..

Great year if Minnesota gets top 3. Penn St gets 4 and Iowa gets 5.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those "other" TEs becomes a lineman especially the guy at the bottom of our class that is already 6'6" and 230. Call me greedy, but I want five of five especially if it sets Iowa & Penn State back!

 

[upnorthkid]

big local athlete that can run? yes you take him and you let him find his spot. there's really no downside

I agree one may become a lineman. Minnesota did not offer Linder to my knowledge for whatever reason. Pierce did not even make Mr Football finalist and could project at other positions like Receiver/Linebacker.

2026 class is a large class for MN on 247 compared to past years. Iowa St seems to offer every MN player and gets the leftovers as Iowa gets the majority of in state recruits. WI has a really large one with 22; Gophers have 4 and Indiana has a few of them.

[upnorthkid]

Trying to have it both ways....hold his spot but also look around.....or in other words....committed to Penn State until someone makes him an offer he can't refuse....

supposedly he wants to offer shop a bit. Joy of a NIL world and part of why i'd be perfectly fine if guys could just "sign" whenever. protects both parties.

 

[Gopherchase]

Hell, we play two and three tight ends all the time plenty of room.

 

[gopherphil]

So tomorrow has come and gone, where’s the kid going to play school???

Can never blame a kid for hesitating to commit to a school without a coach. That being said, with the way things are now with the portal, kids are basically free agents every year. He also may have built a relationship with Franklin and is waiting to see if he lands somewhere.

Interesting, maybe we didn't offer Linder because we already have two OTs signed - Trout (MN) & Meier (WI). So I'll change my greedy take, let's just get the top 4 from MN by adding Pierce. I don't think PJ has ever done that before! That would be very Iowa like.

-checks thread-

Nope still cool on this guy ... until I'm not.

Ron Yary - not a fan.

That’s the original title from a few months ago. I assume we won’t know until around Thanksgiving.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

Called him King Gripper due to all the holding penalties he was called for his last few years he played for the Vikes.

I think we had two others de-commit that projected as OTs.
