at least according to Willie Braziel, Thomas' HS coach, per Chris Monter's recent update. Here is a partial quote from Braziel on Thomas' recruitment:
"They send a lot of letters," he said. "We've been to a coupler of game. Jacob is really interested in going there. They have not officially offered and Jake has not verballed. But, Jake has every intention in going to the "U." That's just the way it is. I think that is just where he wants to go. He gets letters from everywhere. UTEP, Creighton, Texas, Wisconsin. Everybody is sending this kid letters. I think that is going to triple or quadruple before it is over with. I feel bad for the coaches. All the Dakotas, Iowa State, etc. I don't know if Jake has ever filled out the cards on any of these people, but they still just send the letters. Several of them call me and I try to be respectful to them and they always ask who is also interested in him and the first team I say is the University of Minnesota. I'm hoping that they get the hint. I'm not trying to waste their time or their recruiting efforts or money because Jacob Thomas is not going to go anywhere but the University of Minnesota. I don't know if they want him, but they would sure like him."
Go Gophers!!
