It is utterly true. The article wasn't about the last 10 days; it was referencing studies of the period from roughly March 1 to April 10. By death rate, they meant the total number of people who died, from all causes, in the various cities and countries noted. They wanted to get at the real...

I know we're all spoiled by ratings lately but his offer list includes Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, Arizona, Syracuse, Virginia and BC. In years past, we would have been pretty eager to get this guy.

Yes, really. If it makes you feel better, here is the source information provided at the bottom of the article if you had bothered to read it. Or did the NYT make this up? About the data: The all-cause mortality data obtained from each country varies: Some countries publish daily death totals...

Per New York Times: "In Paris, more than twice the usual number of people have died each day, far more than the peak of a bad flu season. In New York City, the number is now four times the normal amount." All of the claims of over-reporting of deaths attributed to COVID-19 are debunked by the...

Another very nice offer list including Nebraska, Mizzou, Louisville, West VA, Colorado, Syracuse, Purdue, NW, Indiana and Illinois. Some Ivy League, too, which always bodes well for academics.

2003, at Penn State. I was sitting in row 1 in the corner of the end zone, with hundreds of other Gopher fans. The Gophers had the lead and the Lions drove inside the 10 as time was running out. Penn State had one last play and lobbed a fade route to a WR. The arc of the ball was literally right...

An interesting read, sounds like a very bright kid. Academics and Fortune 500's were big in the decision. Also confirms that the virtual visit thing must be rather well done. Hats off to PJ and team.

I agree that there are probably only a handful of schools PJ would ever leave for and Notre Dame is almost certainly A#1. I could definitely see him at Ohio State or Michigan but my gut says he probably wouldn't jump there directly/in conference; too awkward. Maybe Texas or Georgia or...

I hope PJ stays here for decades but I'm convinced he will end up at Notre Dame eventually. The RTB culture is the ideal fit for a private Catholic school and he could recruit like crazy to ND. They might not allow oars on the gold helmet but I don't see what else about it would be considered a...

FWIW, 247 seems to be fairly high on him. They rate Regis an 88, which would be upper half of the guys currently in the Gopher class.

Offers from Kentucky, Michigan State, Maryland, Pitt, Kansas, Cincy, BC so there must be something there. The fun thing is, he's the least "impressive" guy in the class so far (assuming he verbals). Up until a few years ago, he would have been considered a pretty decent commit for the Gophers...

Thanks for posting. This is the first time in 40+ years that I've felt the Gophers are actually bringing a gun to gun fight.

I agree. There's a KO return a couple of minutes into his highlight reel, looks rather fast for a LB.

I've always been torn on the Holtz thing. I have no doubt he would have landed in trouble with the NCAA. I also have no doubt he would have had the Gophers eye-to-eye with Mich and OSU in a couple of years. Not just Rice, but that recruiting class had verbals from multiple other stars of the ND...

Not bad at all. Offer list includes Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska.

An 11.28 PR in the 100 meters is nothing special but he can start and stop on a dime. Check out :40 to :52 in his video. Wow, could look great in the slot. Nice offer list of Tennessee, Miami, South Carolina, VA Tech, GA Tech, Purdue, Indiana and Kentucky.

I wonder the same thing. It's super early yet, but Wiley has been dinged a lot for the little action he's seen and Potts had 2 major knee injuries in high school. Just bad luck or more of the same to come? Williams is decent but he doesn't seem to find the creases, often bounces outside. That...

That appears to be what's happening. Mason did get Paris Hamilton, B Owens and Maroney in one class from out of state, and Brewster had a couple of flashy classes like that. But, historically speaking over the last 40 years, the top-half of our recruiting classes have usually been heavy on MN...

It's also interesting that the top-rated guys considering us are all from out of state. Right now, all 3 of the Gophers' top-rated verbals and all of the other top-rated guys supposedly considering MN are from somewhere else like AZ, WA, IL or FL. Compare that to the Empire Class of 2016 where...

It's super early yet, recruiting rankings are a crap shoot, some of these guys could flip or have grade problems, etc. However, I can't help but notice that all 6 of the 2021 verbals are currently rated in the top 700 nationally by 247. In last year's class of 24, only 6 ended up ranking in...
