per Joe:
College coaches often mention their quest to find recruits with “length and speed” on National Signing Day. On Wednesday, Jerry Kill could have used those same terms to describe the road trips his assistant coaches took to reel in this year’s Gophers class.
Kill smiled and shook his head when asked to explain how the Gophers found Rashad Still, a 6-5, 200-pound receiver from El Paso, Texas, who had no other offers.
“Pat Poore’s crazy,” Kill said, referring to the Gophers running backs coach, who recruits Texas for the staff.
Poore used to coach in Texas and has good connections there, but El Paso is a 10-hour drive from Houston, where the Gophers found offensive lineman Tyler Moore.
“Pat talked to somebody at a high school who says, ‘Hey, there’s a kid in El Paso that a lot of people don’t know about. … He’s a heck of an athlete, and he’s a steal.’ ”
