They didn't really steal him, since we pulled his offer. I remember that being under the guise of "academics", but considering the schools that offered him (Illinois, Michigan St., and Miami-FL all being very solid academic schools), as well as the fact that he has apparently been admitted to Virginia Tech, make me not willing to buy that at all. I thought it was fishy at the time, and I'm even more skeptical now.
With him being a Gopher commit, a highly-ranked in-state prospect, a stellar offer list, and his dad being a former Gopher player, it's a no-brainer that he should be here. There was something going on behind the scenes that we weren't told about.
