    RB Zeke Bates commits!

    Agree they were both great college backs. Mo was one of the greats, for sure. My point (not that anyone asked me to make one) was that if you run a 4.5+ 40 and want to really succeed (read: NFL), then you better bring something else. Such as being 6' 3" and 250. ...or having agility like...

    RB Zeke Bates commits!

    https://jmp.sh/s/U7vUnyRUnXHrFTsVFGjI Technically, yes. But could Mo do that? Be honest.

    RB Zeke Bates commits!

    I saw the same time from a Google search, i.e., 4.52 -- I think that's was his Pro Day time. I don't know if you noticed, but between his Junior and Senior year, Mo gained a half-step. He was noticeably faster. Not sure how he did it, but he did. So this means Zeke is beginning where Mo...

    RB Zeke Bates commits!

    Maroney ran a 4.48 at his Pro Day. Not incredibly fast, but fast enough. That's the range I'd love to see Zeke get to: fast enough that when combined with power, balance and efficient one-cut decision making, he's a real threat to be reckoned with.

    RB Zeke Bates commits!

    Just viewed his Junior year highlights on Hudl. Seems like a PJ-style RB. One cut and go. Never saw him take an arcing, retreating path to get to an edge. Just seek-your-crease and go. I think there's much he needs to work on, including his physical tools. But his innate sense of how to...

    Gophers land a big man....... 6' 10" Nehemiah Turner

    Maybe I'm looking at the wrong images, but it appears to me that he lost 30+ pounds (of bad weight) from the time he arrived on campus. If that's correct, that may be why he didn't play early on and "came on at the end of the year."

    Chansey Willis Jr Commits

    If you have a quick PG who can breakdown a defense, and cause it to react to penetration in various ways (rotate, shade off a position, abandon a zone to bring help, etc.) that is purposeful dribbling. A PG like that dribbles to disrupt a defense and THEN passes, or exploits the disruption all...

    Iowa DB transfers to the good guys on Easter!

    Holy cow! I'm just checking in after a full day of too much Easter revelry in order to say to Mr. Nestor: WELCOME! YOU ARE NOW A GOPHER AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS. ...PLUS, IT APPEARS YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE A MAJOR PART OF THE TEAM. :-) God is good and works in many way.

    3 Potential Landing Spots for Notre Dame Quarterback Steve Angeli (2. Minnesota or Purdue)

    Agree about it being reasonable to add depth. Trouble is that Angeli is not leaving Notre Dame to be a depth addition at some other squad. He's already at the top of the college football landscape. If he's leaving, he's doing that to start with absolute certainty. Not sure what sort of...

    Chansey Willis Jr Commits

    Really like his moves. Reminds me of Elijah Hawkins... Only 6'2" -- as opposed to 5'9". :-)
