STrib: Gophers football recruiting: In-state talent bolsters Minnesota's class

Carter Coughlin got the idea from a history textbook.

The highly coveted Eden Prairie football recruit was reading about the Roman Empire last year, and thought about how the glossary word empire might relate to the Gophers.

“Empire was like a connection of groups of people from different areas and joining them together under one leader, with one common goal,” Coughlin said. “And it was like, well, that’s what Coach [Jerry] Kill’s doing.”

After committing to the Gophers last March, Coughlin began referring to this as “The Empire Class.” He had maroon T-shirts made with that theme for Minnesota’s other commits.

When Kill retired because of health reasons, the class slipped in the national rankings. But by holding on to Coughlin and other key in-state recruits, new coach Tracy Claeys is finishing off a strong class, heading into national signing day on Wednesday.

So glad the Gopher Football twitter is spamming that equipment room video on twitter every time someone commits. It was kind of cool the first time, not so much the 8th time.
 

Yes, they offered him.

247 has him announcing at 9:00 (central time). The experts have him split between us and Auburn. He's wanted an Auburn offer. My guess is he'll sign Auburn, but you never really know.
 




Daniel Thomas... go to where you were a priority, not a back up plan!
 


I see Drew Hmielewski has signed.

I think he is going to be something special.

Could be a grey shirt offer too. Auburn is full, maybe expecting to lose one or two, but maybe offered as potential grey shirt if they don't lose anyone. SEC games on signing day never cease. We shall see. Does he want to be the pretty girls 4th date of the night that might not happen or the pudgy girl with the fun personalitymain man.
