I'm not trying to take anything away because I am excited, but there's probably a reason despite his offer list that Minnesota pulled his offer and the only official visits he took were to Purdue and us. Teams that went a combined 5-19 this year. I would temper expectations a bit for this kid.

Word from a close source out of his "camp" is that he was waiting for an Iowa offer, they informed him last week that they were still not planning to offer him a scholarship (even though his dad went there), so he chose us. Also told he was a little ticked at Iowa for not offering. Extra motivation to kick their ---es!

Great get!

Sounds like you are trying to.

Don't get me wrong I would love 5* talent, but if I can't get that give me a kid that has a chip on his shoulder.

I worry about footwork with a guy that size, but he's worth a flyer. He's like Brock Dagel, but more talented? Better offers, so if he's a slightly better Dagel, I'll take him. Welcome aboard!

If you don't have facts, STFU.

Minnesota didn't pull, they parted ways, Minnesota got a new OC and they decided they were going to switch up their blocking style. With the new coaching staff Sean decided to explore his other options.

Really gotta question an OC that doesn't want a 6'8'' 300 lber as freshman to road grade people. Don't give me that he's too tall crap either. Jonathan Ogden.

I thought he was waiting for bielama since his dad played with him.
