Met his family at a local restaurant and. They were less than complimentary about our football program. The exact words from pops were "minnestoa does not prepare players for the next level".
Given his likely extensive experience evaluating and scouting OL, I put a large stock in his opinion

I agree with this if our focus on endurance rather than strength was only with the oline last offseason. If not then I think we misspent one offseason in S&C.If he was talking specifically about OL, then he has a point. But this staff has done a good job lately overall.

Have they though? Hageman is Ok, but he may get run out of Atlanta, Vereen got cut in year 2, Thompson didn't make the team, Cobb's days are numbered in TN.
Who has stuck? Wilson, Gray, Williams, and Hageman?
Minnesota having fewer players in the NFL than other B1G schools is more a function of talent than it is preparation.
The average NFL career is 3 1/2 years. Once a kid is drafted, college coaches did their job, it's on the pro and his professional staff from there. As for Martz he would've been recruited in either year one of Kill or the end of the Brewster era, can't really blame his family for having that perception at the time. Having eight guys drafted in the last three years is a good step in the right direction.Have they though?

Was this guy projected to be drafted?
