per Joe:

But many college coaches missed on U tackle Ben Lauer after a knee injury in high school. They wish they had the 6-7, 308-pounder now.

Kill is convinced Lauer would have been recruited by schools all over the country had he not suffered a season-ending knee injury as a junior at Wayzata.

“That kid usually ends up at North Dakota State,” Kill said. “That’s why North Dakota State’s been winning is they’ve gotten those types of kids, and they recruited [Lauer]. We were fortunate enough to get him to our school.”

Lauer was a big Gophers fan growing up, and he said his family always made a point of getting together for the Iowa game.

“Every year it was huge,” he said.
