RECRUITING UPDATE

As expected, Eden Prairie athlete JD Spielman announced today that he is committing to Nebraska. Minnesota was one of his five finalists.

Given the current crop of Minnesota commits and the current crop of WR's, JD Spielman signing with Nebraska doesn't seem to sting as much as it would have in past years. I wish him well, except when he is playing against Minnesota.

I'm hearing there is a strong possibility a local recruit will be committing this upcoming week to Minnesota.

Tyler Johnson is the only one we know of with an. Offer. I would have thought he was going to take more visits but maybe were strong arming him.

 

[dlw4gophers]

Any chance it is a 2017 recruit?

The EastRidge kicker is the only one with an offer that we know about.

 

[die hard gopher]

The 2017 Marshall O-lineman Blaise Andries was at practice this week. Maybe he got offered and we just don't know about it.

Well, Guy posted it in the 2016 thread, and I don't think he'd make that mistake, but it's possible.

 

[Gopho Sapiens]

Congratulations, Sam!

A great honor, indeed.

Tyler recently announced that in college he will play football, not basketball. So there's that. Then according to Burns, Tyler called the coaches at the U the other day to let them know he will attend practice & then meet privately with the staff this week.

Why do you always post Burns' info as if it is your own report with your own source?

Sweet! I was wondering before if this tweet meant anything so it makes a lot of sense now.


I must admit though, I was pretty disappointed when 247 lowered his rating from 86 to 80 recently.

Safety or corner?

Snelson says there is a 40% chance he ends up at Miami; mom is pushing him in that direction. He'll make a final decision on Dec. 3, which is her birthday.

Crap.

 

[Blackhammer]

Tyler Johnson committing would take the sting out of not getting Spielman real fast. Athletic basketball players make great wide receiver prospects and he has nice size for safety as well.

The Dresdick Snelson era. We laughed, we cried, we misspelled his name.

 

[oldauggie]

Crap.

Yep. Maybe Jerry needs to go meet with Mom. Yesterday would be a good time to do that.

Will that be his final final decision?

 

[beavergopher]

Will that be his final final decision?

He is 33% certain it will be.

I thought it was Fredrick Seldom!
