Per Marcus Fuller of the PP, Hopkins WR Andre McDonald has recommitted to play football for Jerry Kill and the Gophers next season. McDonald is the top rated player in the state, and his commitment gives the Gophers three of the top four players in Minnesota this year, including QB Philip Nelson of Mankato and OL Jonah Persig of Blue Earth.</p> <p>McDonald verbally committed to Minnesota last year but changed his mind last summer, flirting with Ohio State, then committing to Vanderbilt, then decommitting when he apparently realized he had committed to Vanderbilt. The Gophers reportedly beat out UCLA, Illinois, and still Vanderbilt.</p> <p>At 6'3 and already 200 pounds, Fuller talks about him drawing comparisons to former Cretin Derham Hall and Notre Dame standout Michael Floyd. That's some lofty expectations, but McDonald has a real chance to play right away as a freshman this fall.</p> <p>Assuming he sticks to his commitment this time, this is a great get for Coach Kill and his staff. Welcome Andre. We're very glad to have you.</p> <p></p></div> http://www.thedailygopher.com/2012/1/26/2749329/andre-mcdonald-commits-to-minnesota-gophers Jeffrick 2012-01-26T22:23:01Z 2012-01-26T22:23:01Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://insider.espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/7503624/predictions-top-uncommitted-prospects">ESPN Recruiting "experts" predict Andre McDonald Chooses&nbsp;Minnesota</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>OK so really it was just four of the seven experts who predict Minnesota, but one of them thinks he'll go to Illinois so that guy doesn't count.</p> <p>You'd probably get just as accurate results if you polled seven random football fans.

Check out the gophersports.com link for all the pics, videos and details.</p> <p>I was worried when we saw the black facemasks on the new helmets that Nike might do something crazy, but "at first blush" (which I think means first impression) I have to say: I REALLY like them. Bordering on love. Classic, and true to tradition.</p> <p>They don't look a ton different than the unis they're replacing, but I like the change.
