Not factual. We currently have 14 commits. Of those 14, only 5 (Myrick, Salzwedel, Santoso, Streveler, and Wipson) have no other AQ offers. At least get your facts straight when picking apart Kill like you always do.

Well done, as always Dpo. People love to ignore facts and just make things up to support their position.
 


I saw that Chad Fahning had an official this weekend. I really hope we can find a way to add this kid to the class. I realize that it's filling up and we don't have a lot of scholarships (especially for OL) but this kid is a perfect fit. He's 6'7", super athletic for an OL. I remember an interview Chris Monter did with him last year and he talked about growing up a huge Gopher fan and that he was open to the possibility of a walk-on.

I hope the staff thinks long and hard about a gray-shirt for this kid if he isn't willing to walk-on.

More than likely an attempt to get you to pay money. I just copied the tweet.

I sure hope you're not dumb because if you are, then I am. I don't have a clue who these WR are.

Clearly no point putting a lot of stock in Twitter comments but Andrews saying he is going to shock the world on signing day would not be a comment I would want to hear as a Gopher fan. Signing with the school he is currently committed to wouldn't really shock anyone. Again though it is just a twitter comment and frankly could mean just about anything or absolutely nothing at all.

Coupling it with #GoGophers eases my mind quite a bit. Plus I think someone committing to Minnesota with offers from FSU, Tennessee, and (at one point) Alabama would shock most people.
 

I bumped into Brock's parent at a game this past fall and talk about nice/decent people. Tedric comes across as a modest kid the same as Mr. and Mrs. Vereen. I've never met Brock or the Thompson kids but if Tedric is anything like Mr. and Mrs. Vereen, sign him up. This family is a class act!

Ski-U-Mah and Go Gophers!

I can say from first hand experience that Brock is a great kid and one of the better players to follow on Twitter.

I bump into Cedric Thompson quite a bit at a coffee shop I regularily go to and he's an extremely friendly kid. I've talked to him only briefly once and I happened to be on Gopherhole at the time, so the last time he saw he asked "anything good on Gopherhole"?

We all have to keep in mind that this kid lives in Alabama. They have the best program in the country, they have exceptionally devout fans and he's in their backyard. For him, committing to MN IS shocking the world. It'd be like if a kid playing hockey at South Saint Paul with offers from the U, Sue and Notre Dame decided to go to Alabama-Huntsville (I realize that's somewhat hyperbole).

Certainly could be the case and of course none of us knows what Andrews threshold for shocking the world is as well. To me shocking is what Michael Carter did in switching to us at the last minute. In the case of Andrews he has been a verbal commit since early December so I just don't see where anyone would be shocked to see him sign at the place he has been telling people he is going to sigh for the past couple months.

But of course all of this involves trying to read what is going on in the mind of an 18 year old kid and we all know that is a dangerous proposition. Aside from the whole shocking the world comment he seems pretty firm in his commitment, hopefully on signing day he signs on the dotted line because he looks like he could be a nice player for us and certainly would fit at a need position assuming they are projecting him to play WR.
 

Rayfield Dixon was planning on announcing by tomorrow according to reports made last week.

Nope, I hear you. I would have preferred for him to have just said "I'm sticking with MN" and not mentioned anything about surprises. I'd just guess that in his world, going to MN would be more shocking than switching at the last minute. But like you said, it's impossible to try to infer what an 18 yr old kid on twitter is saying.

Well the day before he said this...Nate Andrews ‏@NateAndrews1
Great night with coach Kill and coach Sawvel at my house. They really want me at Minnesota and I'm glad I'm committed there #Gophers=100%

My gut feeling is that he'll stick. If he had planned like 3 or 4 more visits after ours I'd be more concerned.

You are responding to the wrong person, Bob is agreeing with you (and me).
 

Some of the gurus over at GI along with a gopher assistant coach seem disappointed that we didn't get in on Silas Spearman (rb from seminole ridge) earlier. He has a BC offer.

Not so fast my friend. This is the second time Campbell has apparently been falsely reported as being committed somewhere. RyanBurnsGI ‏@RyanBurnsGI
I just received a text from Hutch CC LB De'Vondre Campbell that he's NOT commited to #K-State & is still considering Minnesota @GoPowercat

It would be a great to get a second JUCO LB.
