BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 



How many decommits is this?
 


Turnabout is fair play I suppose. If you're hooking up with a girl and she has a boyfriend, and she leaves her boyfriend to be with you, it's perhaps a bit naive to think the same thing might not happen to you.

After Huff decommitted from Utah, it was reasonable to think that he might not be settled in his decision with Minnesota. I have to think TCU feels pretty secure despite his two previous decommits. Home state school playing in a BCS bowl seems pretty secure. But who knows, maybe if Boise State wins they can have Huff.
 



Word is that Lewis had his offer pulled, but that's just splitting hairs.

i heard that too - if that's what brewster is saying, it's very bret bulimia to say something like that. i guess we cooled on him, yeah right. why don't they just call it like it is - a 17 year old kid that changed his mind? it happens.
 

5 yrs ago TCU would not have been in the running for recruits. the D1 playing field has more parity than ever. Actually, entertaining and should lend to the possiblility of MN competing BCS style someday. Prior to those scholarship changes it used to be the same old teams yr in yr out.

In 2005 TCU finished #9 in the polls, last year #7 and probably #2 at the end of this year. If they were not competing for recruits 5 years ago I don't think they would have gotten to where they are now and have been the last few years.

You guys follow Rival rankings way too much because there are no better evaluators out there than Gary Patterson and his staff despite how much Jason and his bunch collect monthly from football fans.
 

This is how recruiting works in 2009. You get in on guys early. If they blow up you remind them how you were the first to "Show them the love" and hope you have a good season & they stick with you. Then if they don't have big Senior years or if they fail to bring their highly talented teammates with them we encourage them to look around some more and make way for higher regarded players.

We lost Stevens last year and Huff this year (Of the significant recruits) but we also got last minute commits from Michael Carter (Who left WVU at the alter) and Keenan Cooper (Left Texas Tech at the last minute). Love it or hate it, the door swings both ways.

Exactly. These are young kids, that are easily influenced. That's why I try not to get too excited about kids until they sign on signing day - well, actually, I try not to get too excited until they actually qualify, are registered, and play on the field ;).

I've even talked to kids that were really high on Minnesota, and committed elsewhere. When I've asked them why, because they loved the U - they just say it was family, pressure, etc...and they just wanted to be done with it. You win some and lose some...but man, we could have really used this kid!

Dear Make A Wish Foundation,

My name is Studwell. My favorite football team is the Minnesota Golden Gophers. My dream is for them to have a running back. Can you make my wish happen?

Sincerely,

S. Well

The door did swing our way, when he decommitted from Utah for us. It's a bummer for us now, but I'm sure Utah wasn't happy about it either.

This is what happens when your team sucks......this is not shocking at all. We need to play better or this is going to keep happening over and over. Brewster was able to get away playing poorly the first two years because he was selling the recruits that we needed all new players for the new system he was trying to implement and it still isn't helping at all. In fact we majorly regressed this year.

So, it is really going to hurt his ability to recruit because he obviously isn't living up to all the hype he lets on. TCU is ranked 5th in the nation right now. They are actually a team on the RISE, which Brewster loves to preach.
 



Looking at TCU and Cincinatti, they rarely get 4 star recruits and look how their teams perform, it just shows you that stars dont mean everything.
 

Is there a team with a better RB opp? And we can't land one. Sick.
 


I hate to say it BUT, this is proof that brew is losing his touch
 

Can't imagine Huff knew Grant was coming as well. He could have started here next year. One of these guys might ride-the-pine for a long time.
 

I can see a late switch from a stud rb for this year's recruiting class who knows there is early pt available here. Don't forget we have a STUD 2011 rb commit already in Phillips, yes I know its early and he has gotten into trouble but he is a for sure 4 star with size and speed. And maybe lipscomb after he is done at juco, but i have yet to hear anything about his future status.
