Not much in the news for Nugs this evening, so let's watch a few videos and read about a few future Gophers.

Much has been made of the talent in the 2012 recruiting class for the State of Minnesota. Every few years, the talent pool runs deep. The buzz is that the 2011 Fall season will feature some talented preps who could be headed to Division 1 schools in 2012.

The recruiting services have yet to rate players for the 2012 class, so let's take a look at videos and offers for the three recruits who have already committed to the Gophers:

1. Andre McDonald - WR - 6'3 200 lbs - Hopkins

Committed: Gophers

Other offers listed: Iowa

Here's a video:

2. Philip Nelson - QB - 6'2 212 lbs - Mankato West

Committed: Gophers

Other offers listed: none listed

I couldn't find any video of Nelson, but he appears to be a big quarterback with decent speed.

3. Nick Rallis - Safety - 6'0 200 lbs - Edina

Committed: Gophers

Other offers listed: none listed

Here's a video from his junior year:
