This kid is a small town kid with strong family values and a hard work ethic. I love the "Pioneer Press" column that said how he bonded with Kill right away and that he knew he wanted to be a Gopher back in Februrary. Nice to see a young man that realizes what a great school Minnesota is. I would take this guy way over guys like Floyd and Henderson. He understands what it means to have pride in your home state and how he has the opportunity to help turn this program around. I also like the fact that he realizes by staying in the TC he can build contacts and relationships for after the NFL or graduation. Good luck doing that in Omaha, Madison, or Pig country. Finally, I loved the fact that his family was so emotional when they stepped foot on to TCF stadium and that Pirsig immediately saw how great it was to have his family so close. I can't wait to see him pancake Iowa and Whisky players in the future. Go Gophers!!
