per Joe:

With national signing day coming Wednesday, the Gophers have 19 players committed, and several balls still in the air, according to the various recruiting services. A look at the situations that are coming down to the wire, with star rankings from the 247Sports Composite Index:

* Dredrick Snelson, a three-star wide receiver from Hollywood, Fla., is technically committed to the Gophers. But he plans to pick Wednesday between Minnesota, Penn State, Central Florida, Maryland and Miami.

* Coney Durr, a three-star cornerback from Geismar, La., is committed to the Gophers but visited Virginia Tech this past weekend, one weekend after visiting North Carolina. His decision is reportedly down to the Gophers and Virginia Tech.

* DeMarcus Williams, a two-star quarterback from Jackson, Al., plans to announce his decision on Wednesday and all signs are pointing to the Gophers. He would join Seth Green as quarterbacks in this recruiting class.

* TaMarion Johnson, a three-star defensive end from Southfield, Mich., plans to announce his decision on Wednesday and appears headed for the Gophers, as well.

* Akreem Byrd, a three-star running back from Savannah, Ga., is likely headed to Missouri, though there’s still a chance he’ll wind up with the Gophers.

* Daniel Thomas, a three-star safety from Montgomery, Al., is reportedly leaning toward becoming a Gopher – unless Auburn swoops in late with an offer.

STrib: Gophers football recruiting: In-state talent bolsters Minnesota's class

Carter Coughlin got the idea from a history textbook.

The highly coveted Eden Prairie football recruit was reading about the Roman Empire last year, and thought about how the glossary word empire might relate to the Gophers.

“Empire was like a connection of groups of people from different areas and joining them together under one leader, with one common goal,” Coughlin said. “And it was like, well, that’s what Coach [Jerry] Kill’s doing.”

After committing to the Gophers last March, Coughlin began referring to this as “The Empire Class.” He had maroon T-shirts made with that theme for Minnesota’s other commits.

When Kill retired because of health reasons, the class slipped in the national rankings. But by holding on to Coughlin and other key in-state recruits, new coach Tracy Claeys is finishing off a strong class, heading into national signing day on Wednesday.

The extra 'l' in Gophers reminds me of this interaction.

Sandy: I want you to kill every gopher on the course!
Carl Spackler: Check me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key...
Sandy: Gophers, ya great git! Not golfers! The little brown furry rodents!
Carl Spackler: We can do that... we don't even have to have a reason.
