National Signing Day Roundup - The TDG Q&A
All of The Daily Gopher staff weigh in with their thoughts about the class, including favorite name and player they're most excited about.
Gopher Football Recruiting: Drew Wolitarsky Signs
How he fits Drew is a tall and big framed receiver, a trait this staff covets based upon their signings at Minnesota and Northern Illinois. He's also tough and not afraid to take hits over...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Demaris Peppers Signs
How he fits Peppers is a very similar prospect to 2012 signee Scott Ekpe, who ended up playing as a true freshman. He has a good frame and shows good natural strength for a defensive tackle....
Gopher Football Recruiting: Chris Wipson Signs
How he fits Wipson brings decent speed and tackling ability for the Mike linebacker position. Plays downhill and is an active, aggressive defender. Will need to fill out to play inside. Chance...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Ryan Santoso Signs
How he fits Santoso was an Under Armour All-American kicker and he brings not only a big leg on kickoffs/field goals but also has the capability of punting as well. He's only been kicking for a...
Gopher FB Recruiting: Daletavious McGhee Signs
How he fits McGhee is a tall defensive back with an aggressive, hitters mentality that simply makes plays all over the field. His position versatility is also key, since he has the capability of...
The National Signing Day OPEN THREAD
To to celebrate the officially signed Scrolls of the Sworn!
Gopher Football Recruiting: De'Niro Laster Signs
How he fits Laster has really good raw measurables for a potential B1G outside linebacker. Athletic and long armed, his length and quick first step allow him to cover more ground than his...
Gophers Football Recruiting: Owen Salzwadel Signs
How he fits Owen is a tall, big framed, long armed defensive end with a good first step and a strong motor. That's an essential prerequisite for any defensive end, though Salzwadel combines a...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Nate Wozniak Signs
How he fits Two words -- Maryland. I. More specifically, Limegrover's offense doesn't put on airs that tight ends are glorified receivers who flex out. If anything, they are de facto...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Hendrick Ekpe Signs
How he fits Much like his older brother and current Gopher Scott, Hank uses athleticism and natural strength to win battles in the trenches. He plays with good pad level and has an explosive...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Damien Wilson Signs
How he fits Wilson is a tackling machine with great size, athleticism and diagnosis skills at the Mike LB position. Moves well in the box and can use his size to bully through the trash to reach...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Eric Carter Signs
How he fits From his film, one can see that Carter is very experienced at running two of the Gophers' favorite route combinations: post/wheel and slugos (slant and go). It's that familiarly...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Jalen Myrick Signs
How he fits Myrick is a speedy corner with really good size and underrated tackling ability. He has the overall combination of speed, quickness and playmaking skills to fit into Claeys' quarters...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Donovahn Jones Signs
How he fits Jones is a special athlete at the quarterback position and can simply make plays in the open field. He's relatively new to the quarterback position but has a big arm and can hit...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Alex Mayes Signs
How he fits Mayes is a tall, tough, physical technician of a run blocker at the tackle position. Appears to have good feet, a nasty finishing demeanor and capability of driving the defender...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Berkley Edwards Signs
How he fits Edwards, despite his exceptional speed, is not shifty open field runner -- which is fine. He is a decisive back who can make one cut and burst; in Limegrover's inside...
Gophers Football Recruiting: Rayfield Dixon Signs
How he fits Dixon and De'Niro Laster are very similar prospects, as both are long armed, taller LB prospects who are relatively new to the position. The main difference, however, is playing...
Gopher Football Recruiting: Chris Streveler Signs
How he fits Streveler is the mold of quarterback Kill and Limegrover have consistently developed into winners at the D1 level. More than athletic enough to make plays with his feet, Chris was...

Scroll of the Sworn! - Donovahn Jones
Less than 12 hours ahead of National Signing Day, Jerry Kill and his staff continue to win head to head battles with BCS conference schools. The latest victory may be the most impressive recruiting job to date.
NSD-The 2013 Gopher Football Commitments - OFFENSE
We knew this was going to be a small recruiting class and was the offensive side of the ball that received the fewest additions. This seems to make some sense right? in 2013 our starting lineup...
