Daletavius McGhee a Gopher!

[El Amin Fan]

Safety from Georgia is now a Gopher after being a Memphis and La Tech commit. UTEP, UCF, Grambling State and Youngston State also offered.

 

[Go4]

does anyone know why he committed and de-committed to two schools? i like this verbal, no doubt kill will coach 'em up and this is a position of need for us.

Some highlights:

ESPN said he's a little on the slower end but projects to more safety with his balls skills and tackling instincts (tackling form needs work, but that's very correctable)

Go Gophers!!

Don't know about Memphis, but committing to us over a Conference USA school is a no-brainer, especially when that CUSA school is 9 hours away and you just committed a few days ago.

In checking the Memphis board he apparently backed off Memphis about a week after he committed too. Maybe he gets cold feet?

 

[It's a Pig Man!]

Go Gophers!!

from the looks of the video, he has been taking lessons from Charles Tillman

 

[btowngopher]

I don't think he is slow, decent speed, not great, but he has good size and a nose for the ball. I don't know when La Tech offered, but they are a lot better than Memphis so I think he was just moving up the ladder.

 

[everybody knows my name]

He's got a great name, that's good enough for me.

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

I like the agressiveness and the ability to create turnovers (strong hands!).

Yes, and it is the traditional spelling of Daletavius to boot.
A future OLB after a couple years in the weight room?

+1. Kill has recruited some great names in his short time here.

 

[t-docious]

daletavius, i believe he was a greek god emperor or something.... amirite?

 

[beavergopher]

Roman god of open field tackling.

 

[gopher1more]

Thanks for clearing that up. I get those Roman and Greek gods confused. They all run together.

Actually, they are birds of a feather...they flock.

This class alone is almost an "all name" class, too:

Rayfield Dixon
Berkley Edwards
Hendrick Ekpe
De'Niro Laster
Demaris Peppers
Delatavious McGhee
Owen Salzwedel

Eric Carter's parents are slackers.

Does this mean T. Thompson is a no go for us?

I see Mcghee as a replacement for Nate Andrews at Corner, but I could be wrong. I see him as a big boundary corner. He reminds me of Eric Murray.

I'm hoping he can play CB as well.

I don't know, but Kill did say he was planning on bringing in 4-5 more guys just before McGhee committed, so I think we'd take him if he wanted to come here.

Michigan has Jake Butt and Taco Charlton, however. I'm not sure we can compete with that.

Nope. Word is that Taco's younger brother Chalupa may be the best athlete in the family.

Q&A: Cedar Grove HC on Gophers Commit Daletavius McGhee: They are getting a steal because he should be playing in the SEC.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Now if we could just bring in Leon Sandcastle.

 

[Gopherprof]

The added benefit of Jake Butt and Taco Charlton is that they could get gay married, and Taco Butt could be an actual thing.

 

[Ogee Ogilthorpe]

Now if we could just bring in Leon Sandcastle.

Nice work! That made me laugh. Arguably the best commercial from yesterday.

and Taco Butt could be an actual thing.

Taco Butt IS an actual thing.

He's only 180 lbs so I think LB may be a stretch.

The Butt Taco duo is one to be reckoned with. Look out B1G...Butt Taco is ready to dominate.

Mark Sanchez approves!
