Hopefully he will be back in 15-days or so.

I do not follow Iowa at all and do not care to look this up, but who is Matt Vandeberg and why do we care?

Their leading receiver.

 

[BarnBoy]

He has 284 (36%) of their 788 yards receiving and 3 (38%) of their 8 receiving TDs.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Should be 3-5 weeks /s

He's a good player.

Their leading receiver.

Iowa passes? Since when?

Good for the Gophers. Bad for Iowa. I have a little soft spot for VendeBerg though since he was another under recruited South Dakota kid.

Proves once again Stars do not matter but yet some people get bent out of shape when we get a commit from a 2 Star recruit.

I mean, stars and recruiting evaluations do track along with consistent success (teams that make the playoffs and compete for conference and national titles year in and year out are consistently ranked toward the top of the recruiting rankings), but they are not hard and fast rules, and there will always be exceptions.

I'm positive I am going to regret spinning this thread down this rabbit hole. Goldy forgive me.

Overall, stars DO matter and this is proven over and over again. That doesn't mean there aren't exceptions. Certainly for individual players but occasionally even for high achieving teams. But, overall... they do matter.

Sorry to hear about the injury. The Gophers sure have had their share of them over the past couple seasons.

Gophers lose their go-to receiver (Lignon) and their best deep threat (Stills) in weeks 1 and 2......not too sad that Iowa is missing 1 receiver.

Not sure who either of those guys are

Can't believe Spoofin didn't catch this. It's DOTS that matter. Not stars.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that realizes that dots are where it is at. Word.
