How do you pronounce his name?
It is spelled Fruechte and is clearly German, but I don't know how to say it!
Frick-tee
Fuchs.
Big strong kid. If G'Shun can't stay on the field, I want a big strong receiver who can. If his 40 time is 4.55 and he can run routes well, fight his way off the line, and catch the ball consistently, he can help us a lot.Hard to say what we will get from the kid but always nice to read about someone that dreamed of playing for the Gophers and is going to get his opportunity. I would think the competition at WR is going to be wide open so if he can get the job done he could land himself a starting spot.

I agree, however bringing up Harris raises the obvious mention that like Harris he is a Juco kid. You really never know what you are going to get out of these guys when they get on campus.
That's like saying, "I don't care if my center is 6'7" or 7'0", if he's tall he's tall."Whether the kid runs a 4.38, a 4.4, or a 4.55 I don't care. If he's fast then he's fast.

Sure, both cases would be adequate speed, but all things being equal, I'd rather have that extra .17 seconds, and so would every scout in the world. Sorry if that's somehow offensive to some people here, but it's a pretty obvious statement.
Oh no - I see a few mentions if 40 times in this thread....the 40 bashers must be sleeping already.

If he can run a 4.55, he will be as fast as any WR we have other than Jones. DCT is fast, but not a rocket out of the box. I doubt most of our current crop can actually beat 4.6, and I don't care how you time them if the timer is competent; they just are not fast. If many of them were fast Coop would not be in the top 3 on the team in the 40.4.38 is a hand held time i am hearing, and it was in rochester's dome they have that they put over their field during the winter. so no wind. Fruechte ran 4.46 as a junior at an iowa state camp is what i have heard as well. so doesnt seem so unreal that he could run that and with that water down there in caledonia you never know.
Gold Vision said:Why do people get so bent out of shape about this? It's obviously a hand timed result. Just like 95 percent of all of the recruiting 40 data we have.
Ahhhhh I knew you would chime in about 40 times - Mr. Antistopwatch
