Hopefully, Connor follows his brother to Minnesota, he looks like quite the mauler.

Go Gophers!!

He will choose the U. I really believe that.

I watched the video. He is a monster compared to many of the kids he is playing against. He seems to move well and is always looking for a second guy to block once he loses contact. Many of those pancake blocks it looks like he has a 100 pounds on those guys ... completely over-matched them. Also, looks like he has a bit of a nasty attitude. Would be a good get for Gophers.

Noticed that both brothers have similar offer lists. They both look like good prospects though there list of actual offers according to rivals is still mostly made up of lower level D1 schools with just a couple competing BCS offers.

Limegrover hasn't been around long enough for us to know for certain either way but hopefully he turns out to be like Mitch Browning and Gordy Shaw who were masters at taking underrated or unheralded linemen and turning them into studs for us.

Give Connor more time. He's only a junior, has interest from Alabama, and is rated the number 2 center in the country by Scout.

Connor will end up with a lot more offers than Alex, and some will be from big time programs.

You may be right but if that is the case you would think some of those top schools might be tossing offers his brothers way as well knowing how close the two of them are and how much they want to play together at the next level. Coaches are devoting most of their focus on guys for this year but any staff with any recruiting ability at all is also looking ahead at 2014 guys to see if there is an obvious advantage to be gained.

Maybe those schools don't feel the older brother is worthy of an offer so they are willing to take their chances on just getting the younger brother when the time comes. Tough to say as I don't know enough about each guy individually to say one way or another just find it curious more top schools aren't targetting older brother to get younger.
