Nice! We've got Gervarrius Owens plus a really good crop of ten PWOs.

Looks like Derick LeCaptain is the only one we have not received a commitment from as of today.

Wonder if he's waiting on academics or something, because his twitter says he's a Gopher Football commit.
 

It is nice that PWOs are treated just like scholarship players in that they have training table privileges. I don't know about the monthly stipend.

What is sad today is that many college students are having food and housing insecurity. The cost of education for many families are almost unaffordable and many kids are saddled with heavy student debt. I don't blame players who opt to play at NDSU with a full or partial scholarship.

Food, Housing Insecurity May Be Keeping College Students From Graduating

I don't know if this has been mentioned (it probably has, but I am too old and lazy to page through even a modest-sized thread), but Matt Guggemos is the son of Neil Guggemos, who was an All-American DB at St. Thomas and played professionally with the Vikings and Giants.

This kid might be the best of the bunch, pretty excited they got him.

Yep. Plus we didn't take a scholarship TE this season so he has an especially favorable path to playing time for a PWO.

You might even say, he is potentially better than some of the guys in the TE room who are getting scholarships ....
 


It looks like "Maroon Shirts" Peter Udoibok and Tyler Cooper will be PWOs for 2019 and will count against the 2020 scholarship next year. I don't quite know how this works.
 

Here's the funniest part about these threads:

1) GOD, what about scholarship numbers!!!???

Staff has it figured out. It's their job.

2) GOD, what about future scholarship numbers!!!???

Staff has it figured out. It's their job.

3) GOD, what about eligibility and grey, red, blue, green shirts!!!??

Staff has it figured out. It's their job.

4) GOD, what about position numbers, too many, too few, scholarships vs. walk-ons vs. preferred walk-ons vd. NDSU signees!!!???

Staff has it figured out. It's their job.

5) GOD, we don't have enough QB, RB, WR, TE, OL, DL, LB, CB, S, K, P!!!???

Staff has it figured out. It's their job.

























Same crises. Different year. Worked out. The future is bright. Embrace it.
 

People in Arizona need to just piss off and go pluck cactus needles out of their dog’s butts, or whatever it is they do down there.

Let actual Minnesotans worry about Minnesota stuff.

I have to agree. Our job as fans is to buy season tickets, hotdogs and brats (hopefully they have enough onions this year) cheer loud and support the team.

Dear *******_4life, Chill out. Shouldn't be hard this weekend.

Suggest looking into a nice course in "Minnesota Nice". Then possibly the "How to speak Minnesotan" brush-up seminar. If all that fails to correct your social and interactional deficits perhaps reflect upon your mother's admonitions. Finally, forget about ever working for the MN bureau of tourism!

Some advice from a former Gopher alum (degrees from MSP & STP campuses) and MN taxpayer now retired and trying to bring culture to the Wild West.
 

i do say there are going to be players leaving and as stated the coaching staff has a handle on it, its their jobs

but loading up as many players in the last two years and expecting the same number of players each year going forward means upper classmen are going to have to leave to make room, its a numbers game and while the coaching staff knows more about the numbers, we as fans are going to be surprised at the players leaving that have more potential than we have had play in the past 15 years.

each class has got to be better than the previous or players leaving will be better than ones filling in the depth.
