Gophers Recruiting CB Avante Dickerson Again Now That He's In Portal

[PoockItInfor6]

My interest is piqued.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Wait a minute!

We had big plans for him, but Oregon didn't?

That's some inside scoop right there.

Not what I said but good job reading?

I'd rather role with Tariq Watson or whoever beats him on the depth chart. Watson could be like Walley, from SEC country to coming up here and playing early.

I liked Goulsby too even though he was getting a bit toasted by Lemeke. He looks big and rangy out there and was a sure tackler.

These guys deserve the spot that Avante chose to pass up a few years ago.

Bringing up these old threads with *really* old titles is very confusing.

Lot of these guys (not saying you). Not sure what people want.

Getting toasted by Lemeke is going to be common come Fall.

I think arguably means you can argue it is not?

That’s true. Some of the media have rates their RB room higher but it seems most I’ve heard have rated their DB’s as their strength

I believe there are 4 scholarship CBs on the roster? If that’s our deepest group…yikes.

I know they have several Safety/hybrid type guys they like along with some new recruits coming in.

DBs might be deep…but CBs? Nah.

 

[skiumah1]

Any chance Dickerson comes here or nah?

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Gonna be some upset posters.

 

[The SF Rock]

I would love to see him come here.

 

[Gopher_Devil]

Him and the Elon CB would make me very happy and would give us one hell of a DB group

Can’t say I’ve seen Avante play but can say I trust our coaches a lot. Obviously they are fans of his. Would love to have him.

I'm all about it. This staff has had an eye for 1) talent and 2) development, so even if he hasn't lived up to the hype in Eugene, if have faith Rossi can develop him.

I think he meant Oregon.

 

[mngg11]

I don't remember how things ended when he flipped but a reoffer by us would imply both parties were on good terms when the decommitment occurred

 

[btowngopher]

I think we’d all welcome the prodigal son, as long as he has the right mindset. It’d be a good spot for him too with this staff having put three CBs in the nfl already, and Walley looking destined for the league as well.

I don’t recall anything bad that was made public, must not have been much bad behind the scenes either if they’re offering again.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Happy to see him come back … but he’s got to do some nutrition and S&C work if he is going to play in the B1G. And he should have to earn his playing time, because Rhyland and Watson have put in the work and built up. Give them their due.

 

[HoustonTXGopher]

Do we know which teams have currently offered? Any crystal ball predictions yet?

 

[Gophergrandpa]

I forgot, but reading Ducks Live reminded me: Dickerson was no. 8 CB prospect in nation in 2020. And he played in 12 of 14 games for the Ducks as a true freshman. Injured second year and redshirted. He’d definitely be a good get.

Well on his twitter we're the only team he's mentioned since entering the portal...Which to me signals this is the one he was waiting for. I'm sure others have come in as well, but he's only mentioning us.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I think he meant Oregon.

I don’t think he did based on follow ups but maybe. Either way AD would be a nice addition

I hope he commits and has the patience to put a little meat and strength on.

captain obvious: The Gophers liked him enough coming out of HS to offer him. and they apparently still like him enough to offer him again.

Dickerson liked the Gophers enough at one point to make a verbal commitment.

and now the question: does he still like the Gophers - and how much does he like the Gophers?
.......we could pass him a note and ask him to check "Yes" or "No"......

Not like, “like like”.
