Gophers receive a commitment from JUCO safety Gervarrius Owens

Well our over signing and lack of scholarships has been interesting. I have no idea what the f the staff is doing, but its a fire right now...

Is this situation a case of not enough scholarships?
 



Burns says it's the Gophers decision. It's not grades & it's not on-field related. Burns says the staff spotted something that concerned them. That usually seems to mean someone is sharing too much on social media & the staff decided they didn't "fit the culture". You do the math.
 

per Megan:

-In the wake of the Gophers releasing junior college player Gervarrius Owens from his national letter of intent so the safety could instead attend Houston this fall, Fleck explained this:
“It’s just the evolution of recruiting. Guys who do the right things will stay, and we’ll continue to uphold the integrity of our culture and our program. Anybody who decides to go, just like anywhere in the country, where people leave programs, or people go somewhere else that might be a better opportunity or better fit for them, we support them 100 percent. We want people to have opportunities. Just because your opportunity didn’t work out here doesn’t mean it can’t work out somewhere else. And for every one that goes, one comes in. And we’re very fortunate for the young men that will be coming here as well.”

What's up with Houston poaching our DB candidates

First Clemmons and now Owens. Hope their DB roster is full now.

Is there a raiding situation here? Sure looks as if it is. Does Houston have a history of excessive poaching or is it their current coaching staff?

They just changed coaches from an up and coming hot commodity coach to ... overpaying for a P5 about to be fired guy .... so who knows what they're up to.
 







I think we win last year against OSU if we weren’t down to our third string safety. Wonder what could have been..
