It's tough to comment on Pink as a college prospect because his high school team never passes. Imagine the San Diego State game every single week. Pretty tough to evaluate a QB when that's the offense he plays on.

I'm sure he'll camp with the Gophers and the staff will get a good look at him then. Maybe he already did this past summer? I can't remember.

The one in 94 or the one in 93?

This one's supposed to go our way, right? Would be a huge pickup to start the '16 class.

Doogie tweeted "Definitely Gophers" Hope he doesn't have a Sid like curse.

 

[Keyser Söze]

I might actually cry if it isn't the Gophers. Very excited about him.

 

[Curseislifted33]

He will be Golden.

Hopefully he is just the first of the pretty strong in-state 2016 class to be a Gopher would be a great start to the class.

Would be real nice to have him commit then get in Green's ear. Never know what could happen.

It looks like Jojo has been all but signed, sealed, and delivered for some time now. He sees Seth every day so why wouldn't he have been in Seth's ear a long time ago?

It's different when you're actually committed in my eyes. Name out there publicly stated is bigger imo

I believe that Jo Jo Garica will be announcing tomorrow he'll become a Golden Gopher. Anybody know the status of the Cline, their WR (have we/will we offer him?). Also, any update on East Ridge's kicker, whom we offered? I would like to get them all over to the U and make Mr. Green think a little more about his decision.

Any other local kids we may be offering soon in this class?

No offer to Cline yet but there should be one. Thomas Barber would be another MN kid I would look to get an offer at some point, possibly Jamahl Johnson as well.

 

[Gopher It]

What time does Jo Jo Garcia announce his decision?

 

[GoldenGopher88]

7pm today

Sean Engel could be another guy with a chance to be offered I believe he is Derrick's brother.

Anyone know more about Kamal Martin the dual-threat from Burnsville? Looks like he has some potential as a passer just from his highlights. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3390917/highlights/195460386

 

[MaxyJR1]

Saw him play this year and he looks to have talent. I'm terrible at knowing level though.

Green and Garcia go down to Eden Prairie 35-14 after being up 14-0 in state quarterfinal tonight.

Green was 6-10 for 52 yards with a few picks. Best of luck to him when he plays PAC-12 defenses.

Green and Garcia go down to Eden Prairie 35-14 after being up 14-0 in state quarterfinal tonight.

Would have been nice to see someone beat EP. Garcia had a TFL on the first play of the game, besides that they pretty much ran it away from him mostly and they were cutting him the whole time. Green looked underwhelming, had a few nice throughs with very good arm strength but his athleticism seems vastly overrated. Never really thought of him as a legit dual threat. Didn't look that much better on his feet than say Nelson. Coughlin seemed much faster. Also threw a pick or two. Kline had 2-3 catches but couldn't really tell how good he is. East Ridges kicker who has a gopher offer looked very good for a sophomore, maybe the most impressive player. Oh and Rick Spielman's adopted son, JD, looked very good for EP.

Unless Tyler grows another inch or so, I don't think Kill and Co. will go after him that hard.
