Never know for sure until they step on the field but practice reports on them have been very good and watching high school film on them I really like the potential they show. Watching Brown play on TV early in the year he looked solid as a WR but his blocking was probably his best asset and I really didn't see the same kind of stretch the field WR potential with him. I agree with die hard gopher I'd really like to land Horsted as a PWO and I think he could end up contributing down the line. Anyone hear the reason for Brown decommiting I've seen some speculation that he wasn't handling his academics real well and that was a concern.How can you say you are happy with our redshirt WR when you haven't seen them play yet? We need all the good WR's we can get as far as I'm concerned. Someone needs to take the heat off Maxx!
Don't think he is visiting anymore believe he told the staff he wants to be closer to home.I wonder if Pinkney (visiting 1/16/2014) is going to commit soon.
According to Rivals, there are only 3 teams left with interest in Brown. Boston College, Kansas State, and UCF. So maybe a number of teams have cooled on Brown for whatever reason. I do hope the Gophers can find at least one WR somewhere for this class.
His numbers weren't real good this year versus his junior year. He had games this year where he didn't even start, or had limited play.
Almonzo Brown didn't decommit so much as he was told to look around. For whatever reason the staff cooled on him. Maybe it was his unimpressive Sr year? Maybe they feel Hunter Register is going to commit and the numbers worked out that we only have room for one WR? Maybe they were using Brown in hopes of getting Anree St Amour as a package deal and when St Amour said "no thanks" it made Brown expendable? Who knows, but what is clear is that he didn't decommit because he hates our offense or any of that "the sky is falling" stuff. Also, Pinkney has already cancelled his visit saying it's too far from home. If I was a betting man (haha) I'd bet Hunter Register is our next commit.
I hope so but isn't he a bit afraid of the cold/wants to stay down south? I don't want to be be the "we never wanted him to begin with" guy but I just never felt like Brown's offer list was indicative of his talent. Register appears to be much more explosive but also has 3 inches on brown.

Brown loved it here, his Dad loved it here, they were trying to recruit Anree St Amour up here as well. They got him to visit but it's become pretty clear that St Amour isn't coming. I really don't think Brown broke up with us. We broke up with Brown. Register would be as good or better if we pick him up. He loves it here, but it's a long way from home and Register's brother plays hoops at UL Monroe (I think it's Monroe?) where the coaches have told Hunter he could play both football and basketball. It sounds like Hunter's parents actually want him to come North and I think he's going to be deciding soon.

Perhaps the Gophers having the worst passing offense in college football played a part in his decision.
Gophers offered 2015 WR Brandon Singleton today, coincidence?
