Seth Green

Can't open invite and leave the state right? Had to have learned from The Decision right?

You would think but hey, you never know. Good luck to the kid wherever he goes though..

Shock the world!

If not #blamejameis.

Marcus Fuller just said it's not Minnesota.

Took the tag off the Oregon hat...either had it a while or wants his picture taken without the tag.

Perra is/will be better.

Perra is/will be better.

I appreciate you trying to make us laugh while we're all a little down.

15 months to find a quarterback.

15 months to find a quarterback.

Another one wouldn't hurt, but I'm fine with rolling the dice with Croft,

I watched both of them play in HS quite a bit. Seth Green certainly has more upside, but Perra is a much better QB right now. I think you'd be surprised at the amount of people who have seen both play who would share the same thoughts as Tikited. (Again, obviously Green has WAY more upside)

If Perra went to Cretin, he'd have been a Phil Nelson-level recruit (not Seth Green level).

Croft is '15.
Green is '16.

We have 15 months to add a QB to the '16 class.

Who's the last recruit from MN that left and ended up being really really good?

 

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

Who's the last recruit from MN that left and ended up being really really good?

If you're talking QBs - Chris Weinke won the Heisman Trophy.

If you're talking any other position - look at the Arizona Cardinals WRs.

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

Who's the last recruit from MN that left and ended up being really really good?

Easy - Michael Floyd.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Who's the last recruit from MN that left and ended up being really really good?

Unfortunately, the state of MN doesn't make a lot of really, really good players. . .

Michael Floyd
James Laurinaitus (I refuse to look up that name)
Beau Allen (it depends upon your idea of really really good, he's in the NFL)

 

[dpodoll68]

Who's the last recruit from MN that left and ended up being really really good?

I guess it depends on your definition of "really really good", but guys who are or likely will be playing in the NFL include Tyler Marz, Beau Allen, Billy Turner, Michael Floyd, and James Laurinaitis.

 

[Winasota Gopher]

Who's the last recruit from MN that left and ended up being really really good?

Relevance?

So we better understand your "mindset" answer this.

Who's the last recruit that went to Minnesota (from anywhere?!?!) that was really really good?

 

[tikited]

I'm not kidding.

 

[BarnBoy]

Hopefully he saved the receipt for the MN and MSU hats.

 

[Maximus]

Classy of the kid to tell the MN coaches face to face.

 

[e.bigelow]

Can't hate on him for choosing Oregon. Would've loved for him to be a Gopher, but oh well. I really do not follow Oregon football to closely, but I will certainly root for him if I catch a game on TV. Best of luck Seth.

 

[wait!what?]

yep, best of luck.

tough to turn down team nike.

Especially as a quarterback. I assume he wants to throw the ball, and I haven't looked up the numbers, but I hear Oregon does pass more than we do.

 

[MaxyJR1]

Keep on the path we are on and we may get the next big QB. Winning only helps.

On another note. I can't decide what is more annoying.

People who tweet @ recruits or those that tell people it's a NCAA violation for tweeting @ recruits.

 

[ruppertflywheel]

I feel pretty comfortable with our QB situation. Wish the best for Seth.

 

[Gopherdrummer]

I am not getting my hopes up, but the kid is a junior. How often do teenagers change their minds? I wouldn't pass up on Oregon either if I was in his position, but between now and then, a lot of things can happen. I could easily see a kid like this rethinking an early decision. Even though he is "committed" to Oregon, those coaches still need to keep a good relationship with him. Kill and Co. could swoop in and change his mind.

At the end of the day, I don't feel bad about the turn of events since it seemed pretty far fetched we would land him after he visited Oregon.

This is what everyone needs to understand. MN will always be available to him over the next 15 months. Kill is not going to turn a 4* kid from MN down if he decides to come here.

I'll let you know when you can find Oregon on TV and cheer him on, since you seem to have a hard time finding them.
