Great article. I like how committed the kid is both to getting better at the game (training w Skip Stitzell), and to Minnesota (seems like a pretty solid commit, unless we switch to an option offense).

I'm also impressed with how Horton is still contacting the committed recruits (at least Shortell) weekly. Setting up visits for these kids in mid December, possibly after Horton is out of a job is a classy thing to do.
