Sorry, been really busy lately - would be interested in folks' grades so far on this class and a Twitter-length analysis why you give that grade.

S - Michael Tutsie, 6'0" 195, Indianapolis, IN (Warren Central HS)
Other Offers: Eastern Illinois, Indiana State

Would be cool if he came here, if only so I could joke that every fumble he forced and successful safety blitz be called a "Tutsie Pop"

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

I'm not sure what to think about PJ Fleck taking over the reigns at The U? It's fun to think we still have an outside chance at landing Brett Kitrell, our first offer in this class. However, Fleck may be taking more potential recruits away from the MVFC in the future.

I know he has visions of trying to make the Gophers a big dog in the Big Ten, but early indications show that he wants to land many of the top in-state recruits. One of the Bison's top verbal commits, TE - Noah Gindorff is scheduled to take an official visit with PJ's staff this week after receiving an offer last weekend. Gindorff committed to the Bison last July.

The allure of these offers from Power 5 schools is tough to overcome sometimes. It's easy to argue that the visibility and potential for higher competition could improve your stock if your aspirations are the NFL. I just hope some realize that the net for NFL talent is much broader than what those big schools can offer. Carson Wentz is the most visible recent proof of the potential of playing at a smaller school and making it big time. A strength of selling programs like ours is examples like Wieneke and Goedert. They have had a chance to see the field earlier in their college careers and have not only improved their skill set by playing more, but have had a longer window of exposure by playing more. Successful NFL execs don't miss on potential talent that is being played outside of the Power 5 schools. If they lose focus on this talent pool, they won't be in the NFL for long.

Brett Kitrell has decommited from Minnesota.

Imagine his offer was pulled by new coaching staff.

Re: 2017 Recruiting List

Jake Wolfe, HS Kicker out of Nebraska is enrolling early (Spring Semester). Probably a PWO?

I'm hoping that Jake will have some influence over Shae Wyatt, a teammate of his. I've only seen Shae's HUDL football clips, but have seen him play basketball in person and was very impressed. The kid is physical, knows the game and when he decides to take over he is a beast. He's the biggest reason their basketball team is the highest ranked team in Nebraska. I wonder if he is more interested in basketball as at the high school level that is where he is most dominant. However, I don't know if he has the ability to play higher than a D2 level in that sport.
