Sean Foster Commits!!! HUGE!!!

This. Is. Awesome.

I love Jerry Kill. Id seriously suck the sweat out of his underwear.



Yeah, but what we really want to know is how hot is your chili...

BTW Coach Kill is so cool that ice flows through his veins, so no sweat to get.

Back to the OP, Great get. Strong trenches= solid team. Nice to think we may have a Mt. Carmel pipeline in the making. Makes me not fret over Cretin guys leaving as much.
 

Great news with Foster! We are now seeing the dividends of our success on the field and the January 1 bowl game. This staff has a really good reputation and we are getting in the door with kids that we couldn't have 3-4 years ago.

He goes to Carmel Catholic. Richardson went to Mt. Carmel.

Yeah these coaches always say that you don't start seeing better recruiting from a successful season until 2 years later. We are just starting to see those dividends.
 

In the video I've watched, he looks really athletic and quick on his feet. Would this make him a good candidate to move to guard (being able to pull on running plays), or is he too tall for that position? Not sure why this would be an issue, but it seems like the taller O-linemen play tackle.

Anything over 6-6 is definitely too tall to play on the interior. Plus it would be a waste of his considerable length on the edge.
 

No, he is simply too big at 6 foot 8. However, having a tackle who is really athletic and quick can be very advantageous as he will be able to be very effective against speed rushers who tend to give bigger and slower tackles fits.
 

per the Chicago Tribune on Foster:

"I liked everything about Minnesota, not just one thing," Foster said. "When I went up there last week with my family, it was a warm environment. I want my parents to be okay with where I'm going to school.

"(Minnesota) Coach Jerry Kill will be around forever and hopefully is not going anywhere. That was a huge selling point for me and my family. It's a good staff, a great school and great area."

So the real question is, Would he suck jerry's chilli out of his underwear...? #skidmark.
Sounds like five alarm hot to me.
 






Saw this thread on the Wisconsin Scout forum: We just lost Sean Foster (OL) to Minnesota also

With this as the OP: "Goofy gopher taking Chryst to the recruiting woodshed right now.....hope there are plenty more "sleepers" on Paul's list..."

To be fair they didn't offer.


Also saw this one on the Schlueter thread: "Fence going back up around West Wisconsin.....means Chryst will just offer more borderline in-state kids to fill the hole"

http://wisconsin.scout.com/forums/2561-football-recruiting?s=193

Iowa forum's reaction to not offering: https://iowa.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=805&tid=179783925&mid=179783925&sid=940&style=2

Some say Ferentz made a mistake, others are citing his past coaching O-line in the NFL and all the firs rounder O-line guys they have produced saying he knows how to evaluate the position better than anybody etc.
 



Yep, I'll gladly scoot over! For all of us who were there when we lost to NMSU, NDSU, USD (or was SDSU?), this is especially sweet. But I'd love to just keep filling up the Bank and make this program special.

We beat SDSU in a barn burner by 3 I believe. Jerry wouldn't let that happen.

Nothing is written in stone, but this guy would make sense replacing Jonah Pirsig at RT down the road.
 

"I could not be happier for Sean as Coach Kill and his staff are top notch," Sean's father Troy said about his son's decision. "My past was with the Hawks, my future is with my son and the Minnesota Golden Gophers. We are a Gopher family now. Sean actually told me about his decision on our way home from Minnesota last weekend. He knew right away that Minnesota was the place for him as he loved the coaches and the campus. Everything felt like home."
 

Here is a Dad who gets it. He is putting his son's decision over his own preference. He wants what is best for his son and he knows the Minnesota staff can deliver that for him.

CLUE: Dad loved the Coach, the school, and the town just like Sean did. They whole family are Gophers now!

4 decades later and half a country away, I still love the school and the GOPHERS!
 


Daily Herald: Carmel Catholic's Foster finds a fit in Minnesota

"When we were doing the campus tour," Foster said, "we got to see things that not every athlete gets to see on their recruiting trip before they commit."

Foster says he and his family received plenty of academic information to mull over. He met with a college professor, head football coach Jerry Kill and assistant head coach/offensive line coach Matt Limegrover. Foster even got to check out the bowling alley inside the student bookstore.

By day's end, he was bowled over, so to speak. Minnesota had rolled a strike.

Foster gave a verbal commitment to Kill, whose Golden Gophers have won eight games in each of the last two seasons. Last season culminated with a berth in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1. Kill was voted the Big Ten's Hayes-Schembechler coach of the year by the conference's coaches. The Big Ten media also selected the former Northern Illinois coach as its coach of the year.

Minny, welcome Sean Foster, who's hardly mini.

"When I went up there, I really liked it," Foster said. "It was the perfect fir for me and my family. We couldn't stop talking about it. Right then and there, we were like, ‘This would be a great fit for me.' "
