per Souhan:
Rashod Bateman is the best Gophers football player I’ve ever seen.
Tyrone Carter and Antoine Winfield Jr. were forces of nature. Laurence Maroney flashed speed rarely seen in Minnesota. Eric Decker was a wonderful receiver who built an excellent NFL career, and Tyler Johnson might follow his route. Linemen and linebackers frequently visited Dinkytown on their way to becoming fine pros.
Bateman was different. He possessed the kind of explosive grace we associate with big-time college football in the Deep South. He was on his way to becoming a classier Randy Moss, a receiver working in Minneapolis who could transfix a nation.
The Gophers will follow a historic football season either by competing without their best player, or not competing at all.
Bateman is making the right decision. Fleck is saying the right things.
Go Gophers!!
