Jide Abasiri commits!!!

[U2Gopher]

Another one today!! In-stater staying home!

He had offers from Kansas, Kansas State, Mizzou and Washington.

One of my favorite in-state guys from this class, he and Gilmore would be a heck of an in-state D-Line class. Great get!

 

[GophersInIowa]

This seems like a really big deal. Awesome!

 

[Gopher_Devil]

Him and Gilmore are must gets imo. Greg and Martin have graduated and enrolled at the U so that leaves a lot of pressure on him. There will probably be a lot more attention on him and responsibilities from coaches but that also gives him a lot of opportunity to learn and grow.

 

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

I never wrestled or played football, but "they" say, that wrestlers make great lineman. Am-I-right?

well, wrestlers have to have good footwork and body positioning/awareness. so some of those traits certainly transfer to football. Harrison Phillips, who played nose tackle for the Vikings this season, was a wrestler and still goes back to work out with kids at his former HS.

[BTChamp]

On the 247 site, he looks huge! Once he hits the Gophers S&C program, he'll be a major factor. What a potential game changer.
