never heard of him before. I wish it was the other gooden, zaviar gooden. Well hopefully he is good
He is not big (205) and not fast (4.7) I wonder if they plan on making him bigger and keeping at LB or working on his speed and moving him to safety.
Terrible pickup. I don't trust the coaches on this one. He needs to be bigger and faster.
Just wanted to say that sometime. I really don't care who we get until they do something on the football field. I like basketball recruiting.

Don't know if this kid will be All-Big twelve or not, but we all know that GC's success is tied to improved recruiting. This is the same for all programs in our situation.
I think the Minnesota program parallels ISU's fairly closely and look what their goofy coach is doing. Five four start recruits and going for more. In no way am I saying that I wish we had Brewster, but how are they getting the better recruits to go to a program in worse shape than ours?

only thing i can think of is that university of minnesota is in a bigger city. Anyone remember years ago we had like the #1 ranked saftey in the country committ and decomitt and go to minnesota because of their night life. I dont think he ended up doing anything there though
I'm sure the city has something to do with it, but Brewster is known as a recruiting guru. He's a sweet-talker who tells the players what they want to hear (and makes them believe it).
We'll see what happens when it comes to developing those players. I'll take Gene.

Scout also has Range and Carlson as 1 stars right now. That just means they have yet to evaluate the players.
To be fair the kid destroyed a nerve in his shoulder when he dislocated it. He could not play anymore and went on to get his education and finish it out. Good job by him. Now if he would have came to the Clones he could have not got hurt and ended up in the NFL. So he made a bad decision.
too bad the star rating system wasn't like scoring in golf or cross country, we'd be doing great then.
RE: Minnesota. They are getting a new stadium- horseshoe shaped opening up facing downtown. Not that that should be a difference to a recruit, but it exemplifies to me the diff. b/t Ames and Minnie. JTS is open-ended on the north and south with sweeping views of Maple-Willow-Larch and the physical plant, they have the Minnie skyline and a metro area of a couple million.
