This is a great day. Our offensive line is gonna be solid.

The week the program remebers for many year - at least the next four to five...

 

[Goldy Gopher]

Great get, couple of great days for Gopher football. Now if only we could add say Ragnow and Hassenauer in the next few days this would probably be one of the best weeks for Gopher football in a very long time.

 

[GopherSOB]

Eh....no need to talk that way. I'm sure the staff would still love to have them both, and there's no reason a talented local player shouldn't feel welcome here, even if he's considering his options.

If Connor would have stepped foot on Texas campus, he would have had a Horns offer. That good.

 

[Schnauzer]

Great news. There has been a run of positive news coming out of the Gopher football program that I haven't seen on a long time. It is a good thing in June, it will be a GREAT thing if it continues through September, October, and November.

 

[MadtownGopher]

You can really sense the kid's excitement in the GH interview that was just posted. Interesting that we have 3 sets of brothers on the OL.

 

[slarson]

Boy it has been a great couple of days!!!

 

[CoMn]

They have any more Mayes brothers down there?

15 minutes after committing, GH's Chris Monter interviewed Mayes:

BIG TIME!! Q&A With New Gophers Commit Connor Mayes!!

[GopherInPittsburgh]

Does anyone remember how much the local media in Texas covered Alex Mayes' commitment to Minnesota? I assume Connor's will be the same.

 

[Curseislifted33]

WE COMING!! ROSE BOWL LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Couldn't agree with you more! I am sure Jerry Kill and his staff are much more classy than that. What do people think this is - a Wisconsin blog? You never know when a recruit will change his mind.
