Indiana and Players Leaving

Donate To GopherHole

very nice breakdown

if/when a minnesota reporter writes about that happening with the gophers it would be something like, Kill loses 31 players blames previous staff and medical condition. Then the article would go on to say something like Kill in over his head, kill being a high school level coach, Kill on his death bed, Brewster kills Kill, Mason grins about gophers on TV, the vikings are our bread and butter. No other mention of the statistics or facts of the original story.
 

SD you could write for the Tribune. You have the template down pat.

31 have left, 18 scholarship since Wilson took over.


How many of our players can be accounted for in the same way?

I was just thinking about this the other day...
Edwards: Gone
Allen: Gone
Singleton: Gone
Eskridge: Gone
Ragoo: Gone
Eggen: Gone

Who else is there? Michel is gone, but that isn't due to Kill. X. Brandon's career looks over, again, that's not due to Kill.

I have a few ideas who else might be gone (not from any insider info, just deductive reasoning). But i'd imagine we'll lose another 6-8 scholarship players.
 

I have seen nothing that says Kill isn't doing exactly what he was hired to do...change the nature of Gopher Football...to do that, he needs new players, new coaches, a new AD, a Prexy that actually likes FB and thinks that FB is an important part of both the college experience and the college reputation, some new equipment and most of all - fan support during the process. Kill isn't fixing 3 years of Tim Brewster...he is trying to fix 40 YEARS of gross negligence and disregard by the Admin of the U. Now Kill has his coaches, a new Prexy, no way Maturi gets renewed so we will have a new AD, and Kill will recruit his players...
 


I've seen more than one person mention Singleton and talk about his departure as though it's common knowledge, but has there been any confirmation of this? He is still listed on the roster to this day.

does that really matter at a place like the U with regards to the President? Will the Board of Regents ever be convinced that football does matter?
 

They all realized they were in Bloomington, Indiana.

I don't think Eskridge left because of Kill either.

Several have spoken publicly about a need to fix the football program within the past year.

Seems like he has the balls to 'tell it like it is' also. Maybe that's what it takes.
 





If the party line is true, it will show on the field, beginning with Nebraska and continuing in the next five games. If not, it's mostly hot air and wishful thinking...

Good catch Dpo. I think I heard so many people talk about it like it was fact and I haven't seen him play and I can't really remember him at any practices or anything. Maybe I am mixing him and Tatum up about it being confirmed that he left. But now that I think about it, I guess I haven't seen anything official about Singleton (and i'm not privy to anything else abotu him either).

I don't know what this means but Fuller had a tweet that Singleton wasn't one of the 105 players active for Fall Camp. I'm not sure that makes it official or if he has just been injured maybe.

I couldn't find the old tweet, but I remember reading it on Gopherhole, here is the GH thread, doesn't tell you a whole lot.

Just say NO to Yale, Harvard, and Notre Dame graduates!

Rx: Ideally we should have zero regents who have not received their undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. Well, maybe one from UMD. OK, OK, so maybe some regents with postgraduate degrees from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, BUT NOT IF THEY HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO yale, harvard, or notre dame. The problem appears to be a Minnesota Legislature which has packed the Regents with Yale and Notre Dame graduates. Borrowing a quote from Nancy Reagan, "Just say NO to Yale, Harvard, and Notre Dame graduates!"
 

The regents don't care about sports to them. From what I have been told whenever they get interviewed for the job by the Minnesota Legislature they always poo poo the sports question. They don't care to them sports just get in the way of an education.
