per Sid:
Gophers football coach Jerry Kill believes the talent in the 2015 recruiting class is improved over 2014. One of the reasons is the signing of defensive end Colton Beebe, who twice won the Bobby Bell Award as the outstanding small-class lineman or linebacker in Kansas City. He is the son of Tom Beebe, an offensive lineman Kill coached at Pittsburg (Kan.) State in his first college head coaching job.
“Tom Beebe was a great player at Pittsburg State, one of the best offensive linemen that ever played there,” Kill said. “Tom was probably 6-2, played at 300, could move, a pulling guard. That’s why Colton, he’s 6-3 and about 250 now, but he’ll be 6-3, 280.”
Kill told another story about recruiting Dior Johnson, a four-star defensive back (according to Rivals.com) out of Michigan.
“I left his house in Detroit and I didn’t know what he was going to do,” Kill recalled. “So I got on the [charter] plane and I’m driving down the runway in the plane and I get a call and he commits to us, so I tell the pilot, ‘Slow down!’ There’s a lot of good stories in the recruiting class and a bunch of needs in the recruiting class."
