If he knows how to tackle, he has a place on this team.
Our kick coverage was abysmal this year.

New Commit-Thomas Gooden

Minnesota also plays in the Big Ten, which we all know is the best conference in the country, and the only reason anyone else gets recruits is because of the rule limiting scholarships. Otherwise, every human football player ever born wants to play in the Big Ten. Seriously, fellas, we should be thanking our lucky stars we can get any recruits at all!
The guy you are thinking about is Brandon Owens. I think that he might have started as a Fr for the gophers. I know that he was probably their best defensive player as a Jr. He got steamrolled on a tackle attempt late in his Jr year. He was caught in an ackward position on the play and pretty much had his shoulder demolished. The injury ended his career.
Yes, it was Brandon Owens.
This "tackle" of Michael Robinson was what did it.

i can't believe he was not reported on cyclonereport.congratulations jeremy on scooping cr!!!!!!!!!!!
Going even further, if you click on the high school link of the Orlando Sentinel page and then go to Dr. Philips school page, they have an excellent site to get all of the information on Gooden.
He had 127 tackles (67 UA) with 2 Fumble Recoveries and 1 Int. His team almost beat the undefeated Boone (FL) High School team on two separate occasions - losing by 1 and 7 points (the latter in the playoffs). In those two games, Gooden had 19 tackles. As mentioned in the above link, Boone is playing the #1 High School team in the nation, Miami Northwest, for the large school state title this week. In other words, Gooden has played against very good competition, and has shown that he can make plays. I don't question GC at all. Furthermore, if you read the article and note the publicity that Fountain gets in the Sentinel, that can only help to further lay the necessary recruiting inroads in Florida.
Did I miss something? I don't believe Jeremy posted that he was a commit. Rather another poster who appears to have found out through CN. Scout's recruiting coverage seems to get worse every year. Does anyone else feel this way?!?!
Brewster and Minny are outrecruiting 96 other Div 1 schools....not worried about them, additionally, they recruit the entire u.s. they're recruiting from everywhere....Thats how you build awesome recruiting classes, but, that does not mean you build great teams - (i.e. Iowa, Nebraska).
So, I've identified that the info on Thomas Gooden is accurate, i've even seen it in an article posted today from his area, so the info is correct. Secondly, i've attached a link to his photo/stats for this year....

Pretty good football recruiting article from the Ames Trib.

thats pretty old tho, because christian graham is one of those who did not end up coming to school here. very unfortunate, i saw him play and he was good. in fact, jjc ran a 5 wide offense sometimes, and they had 5 d-1 wr commits. it figures that the one who decided to come to isu didnt pan out..
