Lost 2 commits

[Maroon92]

Not sure if I had seen this or not on the forum.


"The Gophers football team has had two players de-commit from its 2016 recruiting class in recent days, according to multiple recruiting sites.

Andre Polk, a linebacker from South Fort Myers High School, flipped his committed to South Florida, and Tralund Webber, a junior college defensive end, has flipped to Oklahoma State.

Both are consensus three-star recruits who plan to enroll at their new schools in January, giving them a chance to participate in spring practice. Webber is currently attending Blinn College, a junior college in Brenham, Texas."


This is not a good sign-- anyone have knowledge of why. I am hoping it was to be closer to home and not our coaching change. One of the factors I was in favor of signing Claeys quickly was to keep the current class intact. I was really looking forward to seeing Polk and his quotes after he committed sounded like he was very solid.

Polk cited playing time.

really? I think he would have cracked the two deeps for sure and been one of the star players in 2-3 years. The DE is something that we really needed to have as we are in short supply of them

There's a whole thread dedicated to recruiting, you should give it a read. Kids commit and de-commit every year for various reasons, it was bound to happen this year too, don't read too much into it.

He knows about it. Below is a post of his from that thread from yesterday.

To be honest we did also. Has the last week of decommitments have anything to do with Claeys vs Kill?
