Just made the same thread so Mods can just delete mine. He is another great get and another in-state kid. Hopefully Johnson, Kegel, Spielman, and any others who get offered stay home as well.
 



5 in-state commits and its only April 11!!! Wow!!

Sam is the type of recruit that 5-6 years ago we'd have to fight like crazy to keep away from Wisconsin. Now these guys are committing to Minnesota before their junior year is over. Love it.

Go Gophers!!
 

The arrow is definitely pointing in the right direction. Doesn't happen overnight. Lot's of work to turn around a program.

Glad we have Kill.
 




Scout article on commitment:

"I don't know how to explain it," Schlueter said. "Something led me to there. I feel really comfortable at Minnesota."

Schlueter committed at the Gophers' annual spring game after recently narrowing his list down. He had additional offers from Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan State, Iowa State and more.

He added to what was already a great day for Minnesota.

"They were really excited," he said. "Coach Kill was the first person I told and he was really excited. They want to get me in as soon as possible and see me fitting into the program and want to get me ready to contribute."

"It feels awesome. I never thought I would be where I am today."

Congrats to Sam and the Gophers.

He looks like a nice pulling guard.

Matt Kegel, get your golden ticket punched now before the train gets filled up.
 




I really like the direction that in-state recruiting is trending. Tyler Johnson, Matt Kegal, JD Speilman, you are on the clock!
 

Incredible start to the 2016 class!

Rather have Schlueter than Kegel, but no reason they can't have both. Getting MN kids is great. Getting MN kids to spurn a bunch of heavyweights to stay home is aces.
 

Welcome aboard Sam!

Join the train or get left in the dust!

I too think Schlueter is a bit better than Kegel. It's especially telling that Cryst offered Kegel at Pitt but not at Wisconsin while he did offer Schlueter while at Wisconsin. That being said I think Kegel is a bit of a better fit for the gophers offense being bigger, stronger and a better run blocker. Schlueter seems ideally fitted for an uptempo spread O like at Oregon and is very similar to Carlberg although he does have the frame to fill out nicely. Both however are better than Dovich, Connelly and Stieber, more close to the caliber of Oseland and Moore.

I know it's not going to matter, but WHY put down a potential recruit? THINK!!!!!
 


This isn't only an incredible Gopher class in the making, this is the best class of Minnesota HS players in my memory. Sam is a big get. I see All B1G written all over him. Let's go Matt, join the team! Cancel that trip to Oklahoma and get on board.

It's not a put down. I'm just saying if they only got one of the tackles, I'd pick Schlueter. If they get them both, even better. It's nothing personal against young Mr. Kegel. Being a small town guy from the west exurbs myself, I'm thrilled Schlueter chose the U and would be happy if Kegel did they same.
 

hellllllllll yes!!!! keep them coming Coach Kill. Awesome start to the year of rahcruiting
