Personally, I wasn't really ever counting on him. Like you said, too many good offers from too many good programs.
Rivals has posted an article about another Skyline prospect that we've offered in Corey Nelson. I'm not sure where we stand with him as his list is also very impressive. But since the article is posted on the front of GopherIllustrated, I assume there is something in said article regarding his feelings about Minnesota at this point in the recruiting process.
Not asking for any premium info here, just saying he might be someone to at least keep an eye on!!!!
FWIW Texas offered Nelson during their first Junior Day weekend, but he hasn't jumped at the offer like some of his fellow recruits. There are a lot of fans assuming he's OU's to lose right now. I'd much rather see him become a Gopher.
