Highlights. Thoughts?
He looks like he could instantly start for us, he has nice hands, is big and physical, big10 ready kind of guy. It'd be very tough to find a game ready wr out of the h.s. ranks at this point.
Sounds like his teammate was the juco player of the year. Even though rb isn't a major concern right now he might be worth talking to. He is small but has some ridiculous runs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVlE_AoIzqg. Here is a good article on the kid http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/dec/20/ex-las-vegas-high-star-reggie-bullock-named-juco-f/
I heard we offered him and he will likely be accepting before his Official here in early Jan
I think it would be really smart for us to add a JuCo RB if it's the right fit. Our running back position is all SRs or FR. It'd be nice to add a kid who could give us some class balance.
Depth is so important in college football. For instance, our lack of depth made it really difficult to move Stoudermire to CB before the end of last season.
I really like Edwards and if they think his best position is RB, I am 100% for it. However, it would be a shame if he is "forced" to play RB because we lack depth at that position. The same thing can be said for D. Wright (the mysterious one who no one knows if he is at the U or not), there is a large debate over whether or not this kid's best position is WR or RB. Well, I would hope that we pick his position based solely on where he would be a better fit (rather than depth).
The guy who I think is more likely is Jamal Womble. We offered him and so did Northern Illinois (the Kill staff is familiar with him and he has ties to the Kansas JuCo system). He is a bit different than Eskridge, Bennett, or Kirkwod (5'10" 230), and he was a 4 star kid who signed on to UNC out of HS.
Bob-
Do you think any JUCO RB would want to come here with 2 seniors with significant experience and 2 or 3 RS Freshmen waiting in the wings? I really think RB is the last place we need to look for JUCO's.
I prefer the Gophers stay away from JUCO players unless absolutely necessary. Build your program from the ground up with your own players who can be in the system for 4-5 years. I think about K-State when then went from Bill Snyder to Ron Prince. I believe Prince brought in 17 JUCO's one year. Yuk. That did not work well for K-State.

He had a decent offer list SDSU, Ohio, Memphis, MTSU, Utah State. It's not like he had offers from no one.I was sure worried Georgia St or North Texas would get him. Can't believe we beat out those schools. His offer list is a who's who of FCS football. I hope Eastern Kentucky doesn't sweeten their offer...

3 stars, at a position of need, I'll take it. I'm guessing he'll see plenty of PT next year.I was sure worried Georgia St or North Texas would get him. Can't believe we beat out those schools. His offer list is a who's who of FCS football. I hope Eastern Kentucky doesn't sweeten their offer...
We did just get a coach so it's going to be pretty hard to lock up any big names this late in the process. I wouldn't call it underwhelming recruiting.That's true. I just trying to get used to being underwhelmed by recruiting again. Hopefully that will be followed by overachieving on the field.

I believe Harris walked on at Arizona State and was not recruited there. His tape shows a guy who can't separate against JUCO CB's, so what does he do in the Big Ten? I am not sure this does much to fill a glaring need at WR for next season.
When do we sign some kids with BCS offers?
I think he originally signed out of h.s. with ASU.
I don't think this is right.

Yea cause those CB are playing 13yards away from him.
