Just be careful. I have tried to point some of these things out and I get blasted, called pantherhwk, whoever that is. Some on the board like to romanticize reality. I applaud and love the optimism. At the same time, the Brewster years showed that a false sense of reality can lead to heartbreak. I applaud Jerry Kill for working hard to gather this class. But when people are getting the most excited about a 215lb defensive end who has only played football for one year, was honorable mention all-area, and appeared to be headed to Florida Atlantic, they are romanticizing. I think Kill has shown he can win over the 30 and above crowd. The question is, can he persuade enough 18 year olds? Can he go into a living room outside of Minnesota and persuade an 18 year old to come when the player has also had/ or will have Jim Tressel, Bret Bielema, Kirk Ferentz, and Pat Fitzgerald, etc. at the home? That is my concern. This year, I think he lost all but one of the top out-state guys (one of the McAvoys) who were committed prior and had real options, he lost Tamani Carter, Bishop Sankey because he was not able to close the deal. He has so far been unable to persuade any of the top in-state guys who had committed elsewhere to change their mind. Recruiting enough top players to Minnesota has always been a problem. Can he change that? Developing guys is great. But the problem is competition. The other guys know how to develop players too. And if their guys start their race ahead of Kill's guys, it can be hard to catch up. Maybe this weekend he can pull some miracles, that would be great. The other issue, I believe is this class is coming right after Brewster's last class, which is loaded with fill-ins after eleven de-committed (Hutton, Wilson, Simpson....). Go ahead and start ripping me.......I enjoy the conversations. Thank you.
