Mike Grant on facing Seth Green: "He looked like a pro quarterback running around"
per Joe:
Eden Prairie coach Mike Grant, whose team eliminated Green’s East Ridge squad from the 2014 state tournament, said: “I don’t know how we beat him. Honest to God, he looked like a pro quarterback running around out there.”
When he flipped to Minnesota, he cited Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost’s departure to become Central Florida’s head coach. Meanwhile, Gophers coach Tracy Claeys had just fired offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover and was in the process of hiring his replacement, which became Jay Johnson, from Louisiana-Lafayette.
“I got the feeling the writing was on the wall [at Oregon],” said Tom Lemming, a recruiting analyst for CBS Sports Network. “Not that they told [Green] to leave, but they probably weren’t showing him as much attention as they did early on.”
Still, Lemming noted how fortunate the Gophers are, with Green set to sign his letter of intent on Wednesday.
“He’s a big-time catch at quarterback,” he said. “He was actually the top prospect in Minnesota before he left. So it’s a good thing they’re bringing him back home.”
