per the Brainerd Dispatch:
Kill was exciting a large crowd of U of M alumni and Gopher supporters about the upcoming season and some of the players that may be drafted three or four years from now including five offensive lineman recruited last season, two towering wide outs and a caravan of secondary help. But it was the players Kill couldn't talk about Wednesday - this year's recruits - who will see four Gophers being drafted, a New Year's Day bowl game last year, four prime time contests this season and a brand new athletics village being constructed that will make the Gophers contenders for many years.
"All kids, they want to get their education, but all those kids have dreams," said Kill. "If you stood them all up in a line they want to all play in the NFL. When you can backup your situation with having kids that are drafted and you're going out to recruit and you talk about those kids and the national publicity that we had this year it' all helps with recruiting."
After the draft three more former Gophers signed free agent contracts. Putting seven former Gophers on NFL rosters. Few were as happy as Kill.
"It's great," said Kill. "It's no different in wanting your own kids to succeed and chase their dreams. We had four kids drafted and three more sign as free agents so having seven kids get an opportunity to chase their dreams is great. And it helps our program in recruiting. It's just a good thing for everybody."
