He would be the big bruising back we are looking for in the new style offense.
 

His visit is set for 1/16
 

Big, bruising, and FAST. This kid is an athletic freak and would be the biggest get in the class of 2009, for sure.
 

Do we have a realistic shot at this kid? Was he always planning on visiting here?
 

This is good news!

Assuming that this is true, that means that we got a visit over Tennessee and Oklahoma. That's a major accomplishment for Brewster and his staff! Rivals has him going to Illinois the next weekend as his last visit.

Go get him, Brew!

Go Gophers!

We used to be low on his interest listing at Rivals. Now we are medium with one of five official visits. How do you define realistic? If you can get them to visit you always have a shot. :)
 


If Brew would somehow pull this kid into MN out of nowhere, and against those types of programs........... I will name my first born Tim (thats probably a lie, but you get my point). Go get him Brew!!
 

Where are all the people who were saying we had "no chance." "He'll never visit here..." Blah, blah, blah.
 



Oh boy, this is big. Brew needs to pull out all the stops on this kid. Comparing him to Beanie Wells when he came out of high school, Wingo Jr. is a little lighter (212 compared to 228) but faster (4.4 to 4.5) and taller (6-3 to 6-1). Definitely the biggest 'get' of the class if Brew can reel him in IMO.

Go Gophers!!
 

If we get him, it will be because of Brew+Minneapolis. Wingo is from STL and his other 4 visits are to schools in the boonies. Let's hope for a heatwave. Think Mason would have gotten this guy in for a visit?
 

"lets hope for a heatwave".............. hilarious, I was thinking the same thing, except the heatwave I was imagining was 32 degrees. Not sure what whether in STL is like, but he hopefully doesn't mind a little snow!!
 

WOW! Brew is getting a kid that looked awesome at the AA game to make his last visit here. This is really good news obviously cuz he has been debating where to take his 5th and final visit for a couple weeks now.
 



Something's Fishy Here...

How is it possible that Brew could get this kid to agree to a visit, since everyone knows he's such a terrible coach now that Dunbar and Roof left on the same day??? I think that Maturi should self-report the program to the NCAA for violations, since Wingo's visit is obviously evidence of major infractions by Brew & Co.

:cool:

Go Gophers!!!
 

dbaldrich1...... Explain to us how Brew escorting Dunbar out the door in favor of someone better able to run our offense, and Roof leaving to make twice as much closer to home make Brew a "terrible coach". Your one of the depressing Minnesotans who can't stand we have a coach who is excited to be a part of the program and is making is better. I know how you will miss your .500 records we've encountered the last 2 decades under our prior coaches.....

The only fishy thing is maybe the new OC is Chuck Long who coached A.P. and Brew has told Wingo that he would be our A.P.!!

Sonny, maybe I'm wrong, but I think you should re-read dbaldrich1's post again, this time with the special glasses that allow you to see satire.

Sorry Aldrich........... I'm at work, so I'm naturally pissed off :) Today has been a "respond to anti-Brewster quotes" day for me.... I think I'll quit. Didn't realize you were one of the "good-guys" (ie- Brewster backers), its 50/50 on here.
 


Sorry SonnyGarcia

Hi SonnyGarcia,

If you go back and read my posts, I think you'll see that I'm a big Gopher supporter, and that I tend to see the glass as half-full.

I think that Brew getting Wingo to visit is a major win, and flies in the face of those who seemed to think that the sky is falling since both Dunbar and Roof left on the same day.

I apologize that my sarcasm and humor were a bit to veiled for you. I even left the "cool" emoticon as a clue that I was kidding, but perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Sorry for that.

A couple weeks ago there was some speculation floating around that Brew has a "silent" verbal in his back pocket from a 4* running back. This silent verbal would fill our need for a big bruising athletic tailback. At that time the only possibility listed on Rivals and Scout was Wingo and he was listed as low interest on Rivals and no interested on scout - "could it really be that simple?"

I know, after reading it I admit I am embarrassed I didn't pick up on the sarcasm, it was pretty obvious. I haven't been on here long enough to have remembered the gopher haters by name, obviously you are not one of them. apologies

I think what sealed Wingo picking us over Alabama is that he can come in here and play right away, Maroney was from his area so he knows our school can get him there and "I" feel Brew has told him who our new OC is and that sealed it. Not his commit but a visit

pleeeeeeeeeeeeease let it be that simple...... i remember that discussion
 

It's All Good

No problem. We've all probably had a melt-down moment at some point.

Go Gophers!!!
 

I'm actually kind of surprised that Wingo decided to visit here with all the turmoil going on.

There are a lot of possible reasons for giving us a look and I would think the biggest would be playing time. He could certainly come here and be an immediate contributor.

Also, the idea of a power running game is probably appealing and I wonder about the whole Cosgrove thing. If Cosgrove is indeed the pick for D-coordinator, that might help, but I'm not sure how much considering Wingo is a running back and Cosgrove wouldn't be coaching him anyway.

the wildcard for me here would be the combination of Bryant Allen and Brandon Kirksey. I'm thinking they may have spoken with Wingo at some point and maybe pointed him north. Again, this is all guesswork on my part, but in any case, the fact that Wingo is even giving us a look is a positive development imo.
 

If Brew does get Wingo to commit here, and hang on to all the other recruits given the changes and turmoil he has gone through, the guy is there with the best of the recruiters.
 

If we get Wingo then maybe Richardson will change his mind and come here.
