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

Unless they happen to like his potential at another position.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

True. I could see him as a KJ Maye type receiver. Whether or not he is willing to make that transition may be a good question.

I doubt that Iowa plans him as a QB. I imagine Kill will get him on campus this summer and go from there.

Tyler Johnson will not be a quarterback in college. He could be a fine defensive back though.

I'm really hoping we land Carter Coughlin, Eden Prairie OLB. Here's his Hudl link: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2356975/carter-coughlin

That might have been one of the most dominating videos I have seen of a highschool kid. Great part is he's only a junior.

It will be intriguing to watch the recruitment of these local Class of 2016 players:
Thomas Barber, LB, Armstrong: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2725717/thomas-barber
Jamahl Johnson, DT, Prior Lake: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2879329/jamahl-johnson
Sean Engel, WR, Chaska: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2484570/sean-engel
Trent Pink, QB/Athlete, Elk River: http://hudl.com/athlete/1930045/trent-pink

 

[TrapperDoo]

All the big programs are going to be coming hard after Carter Coughlin. That kid is tall, way quick, fast and hard-hitting. Hope he ends up Golden!

Thomas Barber relation to Marion?

What do you think the chances are we get all these guys?

 

[BleedGopher]

Brother

And son!

Go Gophers!!

 

[Jaykay]

I've been saying for awhile but I think Coughlin is the best player in this loaded 2016 class. He would be a huge get.

Yep, pretty impressive. As I recall, Kill pretty much offered him on the spot after watching him at camp this past summer.

Barber, Engel, and Pink I believe the Gophers could get if they decide they want them. Johnson has some SEC interest so he could be a tough one to land.

The Gophers have offers out to Sam Schlueter who has a Northwestern offer and Matt Kegel who has a Pittsburgh offer. I would expect them to offer Kjetil Cline from East Ridge as well who also has a Pitt offer.

 

[play hard]

I really like Barber and Engel.. Fit perfect with Jerry's style of ball. Big and physical guys !!! Barber looks like a nice full back and Engel has great hands and a really good blocker that should get bigger and stronger in Jerry's program.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

Pack another 30 lbs of muscle and work on his speed a little and Engel could be a Maxx like force for the Gophers.

Good to see!

Do you know if Iowa offered him to play QB? Great to see North with good athletics again.

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

Very cool indeed! Southside (Jones) and Northside (Johnson) thunder and lightning

Iowa offered him as a DB.

 

[JMWZ]

Coughlin in the prep bowl tonight. Hope he goes here!

 

[MaxyJR1]

Wonder if Seth Green is a Scott Frost guy or an Oregon guy. Would be interesting if Frost leaves how he handles his recruiting. Crazy part of committing this early he still has 14 months until he can sign.

Yeah, that would be great. When was the last time we had 2 local 4* recruits commit here? From looking at 247 it looks like this is a good year for MN recruits. Hopefully we can get all the top kids (except Green who is going to Oregon).

We're competing with tOSU and MSU on Coughlin.

Don't care, still want him.

Which will make it all the sweeter when he takes his talents to Minneapolis.
