per Dienhart:
Minnesota makes hay recruiting Illinois, where Jerry Kill spent 10 years as head coach (Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois). The trust between the Gopher staff and Illinois prep coaches runs deep. “We find ‘our guys,’” Claeys says, meaning players who fit what they want.
It’s fun to watch sophomore d-tackle Steve Richardson, who at 6-0, 291 is a fire plug. Richardson is a ball of muscle who looks like a pro wrestler. He is front squatting over 500 pounds.
One area to watch on defense is middle linebacker with Damien Wilson gone. Everett Williams is battling Cody Poock, a JC transfer who sat out last year after suffering a knee injury. Poock could end up being the guy. He’s a special player.
Junior Hank Ekpe could be a force at d-end.
