Good for us. And good for Anderson and Kill. Let's hope this is the first of a lot of quality players that are attracted to this program. You can't win in the B1G without talent. Simple as that. Go Gophs.

Please don't ruin this talented guy with a "maybe a quarterback, maybe a receiver" approach. Pick a position, give him a year at it, and if it doesn't look good then move him to the other position and keep him there.

Jerry Kill got all the recruits that the Big 10 powerhouse teams wanted, but the other coaches won't publicly admit it! Jerry is going 6-2 (possibly 7-1) in Big 10 competition this year! SKY U MAH.

No offense to the young man but -5.5 rating on Rivals -lured from Missouri, not Alabama, Auburn -doomed by "able to play WR now"

best of luck to this kid, but the SEC teams going after him were 5 cellar dwellers. (i mean, would be conference champs in B10, but cellar dwellers in SEC).

The 4 and 5 star recruits go to the perennial powerhouses. It's a positive Kill was able to recruit a player from Georgia and an above average 3 star that fits his system.
