That's why you don't overreact before you know everything.

Probably has been said 1000 times on GH but DON'T TWEET AT RECRUITS!

It looks bad on the fan base and it's kinda creepy.

That is all.

Guys, I noticed that Swenson is following Bart Miller on Twitter!&#55358;&#56596;

Sounds like kasl dream is over

Getting him to flip would have been the greatest feat in the history of recruiting.

Maybe Bart forgot to show him the poster of all the guys that he coached for 3/4 of a season at the school he committed to that went on to the NFL.

Is the offer to play QB?

Why are we going after Demarcus Williams?

Why are we going after Demarcus Williams?

What do you mean?

 

[Plinnius]

Why are we going after Demarcus Williams?

The staff wants two quarterbacks in this class.

 

[Gopher04]

What do you mean?

He's another QB, maybe we don't think we get Keon Howard.

 

[btowngopher]

Is the offer to play QB?

I would think they'd give him a shot at QB, but its not like you have to declare what position you want him for.

 

[btowngopher]

He's another QB, maybe we don't think we get Keon Howard.

He's an athlete, could probably move to another position if QB doesn't work out. I wonder how important a mobile qb will be in the new offense.

Why are we going after Demarcus Williams?

Jay Johnson while at ULL was recruiting Williams to play QB at ULL. I suspect that means he'd be a good fit for Johnson's offense.

 

[btowngopher]

Howard looks more polished in the pocket and as a passer, and also has a bit more size. Williams looks like the better athlete and seems like the more dangerous runner, arm strength looks good, tough to judge accuracy in highlight tapes though.

This Snelson stuff is insane, he's gone already. Where there's smoke there's fire and there's so much smoke you can't breathe or see your hand in front of your face. Just remember, you can't miss what you never had.

Keon Howard is no longer being recruited.

Daniels and DS official visits to Maryland this weekend? Isn't it supposed to snow 2 feet? Just saying

 

[BleedGopher]

per Sid:

• The word in Marshall, Minn., is that Drew Hmielewski, who has committed as a wide receiver to the Gophers football team, is also an outstanding center fielder in baseball and, like New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker, will play both sports at the U.

Yup!

Come to MN DS. It doesn't snow here!

 

[nsmike]

It'll be interesting what they think after they experience the absolute chaos a snow storm inflicts on the DC area.

 

[MadtownGopher]

The Maryland visit will probably be postponed due to flight cancellations.
