love getting the top in-state kid, and love getting the top instate kid to commit first! there are also a lot of comments in the blaise thread and the 2017 recruiting thread.
Dienhart's "what I learned" column on our spring game:
6. Maybe the biggest news was that top Minnesota prospect Blaise Andries committed to the Gophers. The stud offensive lineman had reported offers from Michigan State, Oklahoma, Oregon, TCU, Nebraska, Missouri, Penn State, Arkansas and Florida among others. He is the first player to commit to the Gophers for the Class of 2017. It was also neat to learn that former Gopher Tony Dungy spoke to the team.
