My two cents: Red shirt Green and have Mitch play next year again. And then him and Demry Croft will presumably fight for the starting spot in the summer of 2017. No guarantee by any means that Seth Green beats out Demry either.

"Again," a word we should relish in terms of repeated positive achievements of Golden Gopher Athletics.

Hell of a get. He's going to make our running game even scarier in a few years.
 

Claeys doing his thing! To get a QB commit like this without an OC and QB coach is legit.
 


per Greder:

"Seth has all the tools to be a big-time ballplayer, and it's a great catch for Minnesota," said recruiting analyst Tom Lemming.

He could enroll at the U as soon as January and take part in spring practices.

"He's a four-star guy with five-star size and ability and just has to show it," Lemming said. "He can move. That was the first thing that I saw when I was up in Minnesota."

Video and Q and A on Seth Green

Here's a nice video on Seth, along with Q and A from the Allen, Tx. head coach

[video]http://www.scout.com/player/181251-seth-green[/video]
 


Welcome Seth Green to the Gophers and SKI-U-Mah. Yeah were provincial folks but it is nice to see Minnesota's best born and raised start to be Gophers. Feels like the worm is turning and Minnesota's best kids will finally have a place to be proud of and be able to stay and play at the U. After a disappointing end to the season feels like some winning happened off the field this weekend.
Was always hoping Seth Green would change his mind and be a Gopher. This is a big get for the Gophers, we have not had that kind of athletic talent in a potential QB since Gray.

Shout out to coach Sherels and coach Weber for helping reel Seth in, and for the current Gophers players to make all these new guy's want to be Gophers. Keep building up those BRICKS guys! #SUCK IT REUSSE, #Winning
 



Allen High School had won 57 consecutive games and three straight Texas 6A state titles before falling to Westlake in last Friday's semifinals. Allen coach Tom Westerberg was back in the office Monday and answered some questions about Seth Green, the former East Ridge quarterback who committed to Minnesota on Sunday. Here's a condensed version of the interview:

Q. What was the scouting report on Seth when he first got to Allen?

A. "I didn’t know anything about him until he moved in. His dad’s job transferred down in this direction, and they picked Allen High School. I think his dad’s job is in the metroplex of the Dallas area. So he picked Allen to move to. I didn’t do a whole lot of background scouting or anything. I kind of looked at his Hudl highlight tape deal, and they kind of run a little different offense where he was than what we do. Then it was just a matter of how well he fit into what we did.

Q. What led to the platoon system at quarterback?

A. "We run a little bit of a spread offense, and an up-tempo offense, and Mitchell Jonke had played in it for a year. So he’d been in a system like that, kind of knew it a little better than Seth at the time. And Mitchell was the starting quarterback coming out of the spring. Seth ended up taking over as a starting quarterback. He was first team all district, so he probably started eight of our 15 games, and then Mitchell kind of got hot in the playoffs. But Seth came into some big games and did some good things for us."

Q. What's your sense of how he feels about coming back to Minnesota for college?

A. "I think he’s pretty excited about it. He was committed to Oregon when he first got here, and [offensive coordinator Scott] Frost left, and they got another commitment in, and so I don’t know where all that went to. But then I talked to [Green] a little bit when he was going to look elsewhere, and it just happened to be that Minnesota was also looking for a quarterback, too. So it kind of fit just perfect, and he has a great relationship with all the coaches up there.

Q. How would you rate his work ethic and ability to check his ego at the door?

A. "He’s second to none. He did a great job. I mean, studies the game well and had to study it quite a bit to pick everything up that we’re doing and knowing that he’s going to have to do that at the next level too. As far as working and studying the game, and as far as working out, he’s second to none. He’ll win every spring practice, and he’s awesome in the weight room and is a good leader that way, leading by example of being out front. So I think they’re getting a great one."

Growing pains

I think the move to Texas will end up being a blessing in disguise for Seth. Having sons that played FB in the Suburban East, we have seen Seth Green for a few years before he left. Seth simply was not used to making quick decisions, despite all of his athleticism. Eastridge always had a large, heavy pro-style offensive line. The style they played (and the talent they played against) allowed for Seth to take 5-7 step drops with little pressure. He had lots of time to read progressions, which is unusual for most HS QB's. Most of the time a HS kid has already picked his target, and throws without reading, or doesn't have the chance to read due to line leakage.

What Allen HS FB forced Seth to do was make quick reads, and ultimately quick progressions. According to the article I linked at the bottom of this post, MN had 36 three star kids. Texas has 1,337. Even Seth's team had the #2 national player overall depending on which scouting service you look at...What that simply means is Seth had to play at a higher level, and he did it in a "baptism by fire" method, but it is experience that will help him here. While there are flaws in his game, he learned something during his SR year that advances his learning curve once he steps on the field at the U. I am glad he did it, rather than have to learn it on the sidelines for 1-2 years.

Great perspective. Thanks.
36 vs 1337. Wow.
 

Chip Scoggins: Green's arrival at U brings promise, but no guarantees

A head coach who faced Green during his junior season at East Ridge offered a summary: “People talk about his accuracy but he threw the ball great against us. I thought he was a great quarterback. … He’s such a good runner. That’s the part that scared you more. You were hoping you were going to get into a game where you could get him to drop back and just throw. … He’s a true Division I prospect with a lot of work to do. Like any quarterback.”

That last part should be underlined.

Green has a lot of work to do. He needs to develop his skills. He has the foundation, the physical tools to be special. But potential without development means nothing.

Snagging a commitment from Green qualifies as a nice coup for Claeys. The Gophers and their fans should be excited. This is a big deal in terms of national perception.

Claeys’ choice of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach becomes critical. He can’t afford to swing and miss. Given only a three-year contract, he doesn’t have enough time to cycle through coordinators or quarterbacks.

The program’s history at quarterback has been anything but glorious. Claeys can change that narrative. A talented, athletic, highly regarded quarterback is about to walk through his door.

Let’s see what Claeys and his new staff does with this opportunity.

Go Gophers!!
 



Perhaps he's recruiting for a "Run and Shoot" Offense. I don't see a big push for blocking TE's and it appears he's looking for OL with some speed (or at the very least lateral motion). I could see with the abundance of RBs along with the Athletes he's picked up, we may be going in that direction.

well firing the OC and the QB coach did pay dividends. Limegrover and Z are still at MN - Green would not be coming here.

Good analysis. You would think the combo of being forced to learn a new offense and going against better competition would both have positive effects on his development as a QB. I still hope he is in a position to sit his first year or two at the U because few QB's are truly ready to be handed the keys to the offense as freshmen at the D1 level.

It really is amazing when you see the numbers of high ranked kids in a state like Texas vs. a state like MN. A MN QB might have to work against 1-2 true D1 caliber defensive backs over the course of an entire season. In Texas there is a good chance that a lot of guys on the other side of the field are D1 recruits in every game.
 

In Texas, things are different in football. Here's an example.....

When I played 5A HS ball in Texas, our school was on the tri-mester schedule, not semester. Each trimester we had
four classes each day. The first trimester was the fall, so we had football season. In the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, we had
"Athletic PE", or off-season conditioning, as one of the four classes. A fourth of our school day was spent in actual
conditioning. This was applied 9-12.

Lifting, agility, and running.

During spring practice, this class was designed to be in the last period of the day. That might start at about 1:30pm.
We would have our class, then prep for spring practice after school. By the time we were done around "dark thirty",
it might be about 8pm after the showers and such.

So, that's almost seven hours a day at football. They have Athletic PE for other sports as well.

Until, Minnesota is willing to accept this type of commitment, they will lag.

They don't lag much in percentage of residents with a Bachelors degree 25.5% vs 31.5%. The large immigrant population, skews the results, especially on HS graduation statistics.

Thanks for the info. That all makes sense and I have to agree that it was probably much better for his development to go there and face better competition and some adversity. Hope the last quotes from that interview with the coach are true. If he gets that kind of praise at a school like that then we should be in for quite the treat.

I would hire a high school grad from one of the west suburban high schools than a grad from Southwest Texas State or Prarie View A&M

Nice to know that you would openly discriminate against graduates of a historically black institution. The facts are that academic success, is more closely tied to your socioeconomic background, than the school you attend.
 


Just an FYI....SW Texas State is now Texas State University, and Prairie View A&M is actually an excellent engineering school.

Which one is Seth Green going to. I'm confused.
 


Seth just finished up his full length senior highlights including his playoff performances
