Perferred walk-on from CDH - Zach Mottla

[mggoph]

ESPN ranks him as the #8 center in the country. Not as much love from Rivals and Scout.

Always nice to add a CDH kid. He had a Air Force offer according to rivals.

Nice to get a few kids from CDH. Hopefully this trend continues to where we're getting their top players every year.

Great walk-on get Brew! I'm guessing this is not the caliber of walk-on that this team is used to.

How many preferred vs. regular walk ons do we take?

Regular walkons are any students that feel like trying out. I doubt more than a handful actually 'make the team' though

ESPN has him as 6'2", 270 lbs and call him undersized. Seriously? Seems fairly beefy.

Seems like a great talent, especially for a walk-on!

Interesting...

ESPN has him ranked as a 76, while the other C commit we have in this class is Ed Olson, who got a 73.

Nice to see Brew getting walk-ons who some experts think are as talented (or more) than guys already offered scholarships who've committed. Could be a nice bit of competition at the C position over the next four years.

Let's hope this is the beginning of the CDH pipeline to the Gophers!

Go Gohpers!!!

Mottla is an outstanding kid, as well - always good news.
