dumbnuts didnt recruit dline. he said there are only a handful each year and the big dogs get them. they guy used tight ends as QBs also. so glad he is the heck out of here. lyin jer... bunch of bs that guy is.was.
Correct.
Bixby, Smith, and Schwartz all have really impressive offer lists. Love seeing the emphasis on D-Line, hopefully we are getting some quality ones here and can get to the point where we have a strong D-Line every year.According to rivals......we have the 23rd, 28th, and 45th ranked DE's in the entire nation signing with us.
They have a ton on redshirted lineman they love from last years class.
This is unheard of at Minnesota.
Chad Wilt = most important and effective non-coordinator assistant coach?According to rivals......we have the 23rd, 28th, and 45th ranked DE's in the entire nation signing with us.

Kenny Burns might have something to say about that. Glad to have them both.
They started to go to more of a 5-3/3-4 because they were having problems recruiting DL.
Haynes, Simon, Callahan, Harasymiak all are nice.
Looking back, it is actually hard to pick an area where Kill did having success at recruiting. It seems like they always tried to find those lost diamonds in the rough and move them to another position. It looked good at the time, but compared to PJ's recruiting it was just gambling.
Seemed to be strong at recruiting dbs!
If y’all think it so dang easy maybe you should give it shot. Another shining moment for jer.
Beat me too it. DB was one area where Kill seemed to consistently find quality under the radar guys. And they had to be good because our pass rush was nowhere to be found most of those years.
Yeah - DBs and LBs.
The whole is greater than the sum of the parts!
I thought they were alright with Hageman, Botticelli, Cockran, and Richardson and those guys.
I believe Richardson was the only one recruited by Kill. The others were brought in by Brew.
Cockran was as well. And the other two did most of their development under Kill’s staff.
I seem to remember them having a lot of success finding DB's.
DL: in addition to Richardson who got some pro run, Sam Renner was very good and is getting some NFL run...Hendrick Ekpe signed a NFL camp contract....Stelter played in that XFL-type league...Winston DeLattiboudere was very solid....Elmore signed as an undrafted free agent...Cockran was 2nd team all big once and honorable mention all big twice and signed as a free agent with Vikes…
Great list! I liked Kill a lot (not Claeys) but love Fleck. I don't get why so many folks dis Jerry. Thanks for posting.
Solid list but you are definitely reaching on some of these guys, especially if the context is the NFL. Take Wozniak as an example. He was not a good college TE, and the only reason he got any sort of look in the NFL was because he bulked up to try and play Tackle. Lots of guys get NFL looks, very few actually make it.
The NFL Factory hasn't cranked up to full throttle. Better days are coming yet.
