Gophers fall on Floyd's list after unofficial visit

Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver Michael Floyd, considered the state's best high school recruit, said the University of Minnesota has "dropped a notch" on his list after a disappointing unofficial visit to the campus last month.

Expressing concern about the "atmosphere" and about the talent level of the defensive backs who would challenge him in practice at Minnesota, Floyd told the Pioneer Press today that his top four choices are Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State.

Minnesota, he said, is in the second tier with Iowa and Wisconsin.

Floyd, who also took unofficial visits last month to Wisconsin, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State, said, "It was just so different when I went to those places. It wasn't what I expected at the U. I didn't like some of the people I met. Some people said they really wanted me to come. Other people I met just seem to be saying it."

As for the defensive backs, Floyd said, "I'm looking for more competition, people that can make me better. I want to go up against better DBs in practice everyday."

Last season, the Gophers allowed 268.2 yards passing per game and ranked 117th out of 119 NCAA Division I programs in pass defense.

Landing Floyd, ranked No. 52 nationally among seniors and No. 8 among wide receivers by web siterivals.com, would be a major coup for new Gophers head coach Tim Brewster. Floyd emphasized that he likes Brewster and his staff and that his concerns about Minnesota had nothing to do with them.

"I think Brewster is a great guy," Floyd said. "I know he's working hard to bring people in and build up the program."

NCAA rules prohibit Brewster and his assistants from commenting on Floyd until he signs a national letter of intent in February.

Floyd had 63 catches last season for 1,240 yards and 16 touchdowns. He is the first Minnesota football player to earn a Rivals top 100 ranking since former Cretin star and current Twins catcher Joe Mauer was
ranked No. 2 overall as a quarterback in 2001.

Nice find IK1023. Too bad I hate his other 3 choices. UMinn falling out is big for ND though.
