Think Jim Hannula. Was skinny as a bean pole in HS and was a HS QB, ended up all Mac at tackle.

What does WKU have to offer to a recruit that we don't?

I was just about to ask if this article was referring to us.


http://edgytim.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1181576

Quote:Chicago (Ill.) Brother Rice senior tight end prospect Brian Knight (6-foot-7, 225 pounds) is a big target and Knight has received a decent amount of recruiting interest this winter. Knight talks about his latest football recruiting news including landing a late official visit offer from one nearby Mid American Conference school that Knight will take this coming weekend.

Anyone know what the latest Rivals article on Vero Beach safety Larry Franklin says? He has a ton of offers but according to Rivals has only visited four schools, one of which is us.

I don't know if we have any freshman running backs in the pipeline but we could do a lot worse than Cameron Clinton-Earl's brother Aaron.

When I watched his junior film awhile ago I wasn't sure he was fast enough but this senior film is impressive:

Nothing too noteworthy other than he's going to wait until NSD to announce. Only has quotes from his coach in the article.

These are numbers from the Miami Nike combine held last February. 4.57 is his 40, 35.3 is his vertical and 93.09 is his total SPARQ score

I saw his film , he looks really good. Quick. Hoping he becomes a HUSKIE, going to be a tough get for us.

You're not gonna like this (well unless you land him, they you'll love it) but Kill has him coming in for a visit on the 28th. Estime the so called "mac-level" recruit might be wavering as Virginia Tech might be offering.

Nobody gives two $hit.s what minnesota is doing. Go somewhere else.

Btown, Stop gloating about your school stealing our former commits and potential recruits. Show some class and just leave OUR board.

I am not certain advising this gopher as above really works.
I have heard though, if you use "goal posts", this
acts as some type of repellent to some gophers....

Sean Cotton - Safety - Committed to EMU. Probably did not offer but nice size for a safety.

Tim Gorksi - to WKU

I can't believe how thin skinned some of you guys are. I have never gloated on your board. I'd love to see you guys reacting to an actual troll.

We have actual trolls, they just don't bother posting in the recruiting thread. I could care less if/what you post here but I'm not exactly sure what you have to gloat about haha.

Nothing worse than seeing a new response in this thread, being hopeful for actual recruiting scoop, and realizing its just a Jerry Kill-related post from BTownGopher. Nobody cares about Minnesota. They suck. Carry on.

Please ingore the nonsense and post about recruiting.

Here is an interesting recruiting article I found highlighting the visits of Larry Franklin and Demetris Anderson. I looks like we don't have much of a chance with Franklin, but Anderson came away with a better impression. The Soldier Field experience was a nice touch.

Interesting not so much because of the players involved (it looks like they won't be coming) as for the glimpse into what an official visit weekend looks like.

Honestly, I think folks here can't believe how you keep posting
Minn. stuff here. They'd actually love to see you posting that stuff
on a Minn. board. I mean, this is an NIU board after all.

You are repeatedly shocked by the responses you
get.....yet you keep doing it.....come on,
common sense should kick in eventually.

So if you want to keep posting Minn. stuff here,
go ahead....it's a free country.....
just quit being so shocked by the responses you get....

From the players quote, clear that there's a big advantage to getting them to home football games to see the atmosphere...taking a recruit to our basketball games as they currently are isn't going to help much

He won't be a Gopher anymore if Virginia Tech makes him an offer on his visit this weekend. Sowwy. You could always come back and steal another of our lower rated recruits to give us room to go after another kid from the south with a few BCS offers though if you'd like to replace him.

I already said he may go to vt. And we are going after another de niu happens to be going after, which I guess is stealing? Anyways fellas, I'm merely providing recruiting info regarding niu prospects, don't kill the messenger. And I don't care if you don't want the messages, I'm sure some more level headed fans don't mind the info.
