Official 2015 Recruiting Updates Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Stories, Rumors, etc.





per Sid:

• Gophers football coach Jerry Kill on how many recruits the team can sign for the 2015 class. “We have quite a few seniors, so we’re going to be probably right about 23, which is a good thing,” he said. “We’re trying to get those classes balanced out. This next recruiting class will be our fourth, and we try to get them balanced out to where we don’t have too many numbers in one position. We’re one year away from that, but 23 is a good number to work with.”

OL Ted Stieber will be visiting around the 17th, Burns says he'd be shocked if he leaves campus uncommitted. The kid has called the Minnesota offer his "dream offer."

It would be nice to start out the class with two OL who both have multiple Big Ten offers.

I knew one day hell would freeze over, pigs would fly and you and I would agree on something.

Go Gophers!

can definitely see why he said big... 6'6" and 290-295.. I'm always a fan of bringing in OL early in the class and keeping them committed, especially when they seem to have been great ambassadors for recruiting other players in years past

per Sid:

• Bronson Dovich, the Chaska offensive tackle who committed to Kill and the Gophers recently, told GopherHole.com he’s happy to have signed with the Gophers because now he can just focus on playing his senior season. “Before I had an offer, I was really trying to check out a few places,” he said. “Minnesota wasn’t showing too much interest, but after the Rivals camp they started to show me more interest and offered me. I knew that was the place for me. When I heard they were getting interested in me, I knew that this was the place that I wanted to be.”

In the past decade, how many pairs of brothers have played for the U? 7? Or more?
 

I wish whatever recruiting news Burns was talking about would break already. I hate not knowing.
 

In the past decade, how many pairs of brothers have played for the U? 7? Or more?

Off the top of my head, Olsons, Leidners, Rallis, Ekpes, McAvoys, and 3 Tow-Arnetts. Barbers are pushing being over a decade ago.
