per Sid:

• Gophers football fans buying individual tickets for the Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa game will pay $70 per seat. The charge for individual tickets to the New Mexico State and Miami (Ohio) games will be $35, and $50 for the North Dakota State and Illinois games. You can buy a combination of either the Iowa, Wisconsin and Nebraska games with either New Mexico State or the Miami games for $95. ... Approximately 3,500 public season tickets will go on sale July 22, with single-game tickets on sale at a later date.

Gophers hockey tickets will remain at $22 next year and basketball tickets at $21 despite the fact there will be two more games this season than last.

• Quarterback MarQueis Gray, running back Duane Bennett and linebacker Mike Rallis will represent the Gophers football team at the Big Ten kickoff in Chicago on July 28-29.

• Mitch Leidner, a quarterback at Lakeville South, has accepted a scholarship offer from Jerry Kill to play for the Gophers. Leidner led the Cougars to a 8-4 record last season, throwing for 2,096 yards, 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He completed 54.7 percent of his passes.

• Devon Wright was the Broward County (Fla.) Player of the Year during the 2009 high school football season. The Coral Springs Taravella running back wasn't scholastically eligible to play for the Gophers last fall, but he will be eligible this season and compete for a starting position.

• Receiver Andre McDonald of Hopkins, who backed off his early commitment to the Gophers, indicated interest in recommitting after he spent three days at Kill's football camp. McDonald, who will be a senior this year, caught 64 passes last season and scored 19 touchdowns. Rivals.com lists McDonald as a four-star player.

• Josh Tauaefa, a defensive tackle from Corinth, Texas, has been granted his release by the Gophers, the university confirmed Thursday. Tauaefa, who sat out a redshirt season last fall as a freshman, is the third player to leave the program this month, following running back DeLeon Eskridge and tight end Tiree Eure.

Go Gophers!!
 

I thought McDonald decommitted after Kill's football camp. Anybody know if this is true?
 

Who are the captains for this year? Bennett, Gray & Rallis since they are going to the Big Ten kickoff?
 

McDonald never really decommitted, just kept his options open. Those comments also were before camp went to camp and appears to be more solid again.

Andre seems to be a good person and a good player, he just committed too early. He is 18 and enthusiatic. He'll do the right thing for him and he will do it with class, I hope we get him. I am sure neither he nor the staff want him to make a firm commitment again until he really is sure he knows what he wants.
 


Gopher hockey and basketball are $35, right? Have been for a while.
