I have had the perception that Minnesota has lot quite a few players to Wisconsin and Iowa. In return, I thought our Gophers rarely had success in signing high school recruits out of these states.
I was a bit bored tonight, so I scoured through 247 commitments since 2008 in MN, IA and WI. Surprisingly, I didn't see the results I expected. Here are the high school recruits MN has brought in from the states of Iowa and Wisconsin:
Tom Parish, Matt Eggen, Zac Epping, Foster Bush, Eric Murray, Owen Salzwedel, Austin Shirck, Gaelin Elmore, and Luke Rasmussen.
Tom Parish was the highest rated recruit but never played. Eric Murray was lowest rated, but with certainty was the best player from this list.
Here is who got away and went to Iowa or Wisconsin:
Marcus Binns, Malik Rucker, Amani Hooker, Joe Schafer, Brendan Kelly, Casey Dehn, Beau Allen, Tyler Marz, Keelon Brookins and Patrick Kasl.
Beau Allen stung, but the overall list is underwhelming.
We've lost some good players to Notre Dame, Arkansas, etc., but if they are out of the conference, it's not a slap in the face.
The next step for PJ is to turn the Ragnow's, Carroll's, etc into golden comittments.
