don't worry about that. Lemming actually things we're one of the teams to beat for him. Oftentimes the schools he lists for a kid during those little videos are messed up.

SWEET!! We seem to be in great position to get Floyd, and it's good to see that he's getting early attention.

Glen Mason is no longer at Minnesota. ND was already leading but this can't hurt.

Doesn't anybody think that it might be a bad thing for ND that Mason was fired, maybe Mason was the reason that he didn't like MN. From what I have read, Mason was the reason a lot of recruits in the state of MN were turned off. I read this is the Star Tribune today so that is where I heard this from.

Last night on Power Hour Dan Buckner said that he and Michael have become very good friends, and they talk or text just about every day. He also said that the two are setting up their visits to various schools on the same weekend so they can hang out and that there is a very good chance that they could end up attending the same school.

Mr. Floyd is our #1 recruit bar none in 2008. CW has to pull out all the stops to get this guy.

I gotta say Filer should be our #1 target next year. He is very important. He would step right in and start for us from day 1.
He's very good but I highly doubt that.
Getting a couple of elite LB's and a couple good one's is one if not the highest priority as is getting atleast one elite DT along with another 1 or 2 good ones. The OL is next important followed by CB's and RB's.

I've heard that several places too, and the ND plane went to Min/St. Paul today as Charlie was making his rounds visiting recruits. In the past few days the plane has also been in VA checking on Nuss, in Pittsburg, I'm guessing this was for Steve Paskorz, and Nebraska.

State's coaches, top players say it's all about recruiting
By Roman Augustoviz, Star Tribune
Last update: January 16, 2007 – 10:22 PM
Tim Brewster's recruiting skills will ultimately determine his success as Gophers football coach, said Minnesota high school coaches contacted Tuesday.
And even though Brewster comes with a strong reputation as a recruiter, he faces a tough challenge.
"Here's this poor guy who just got hired, and everybody's trampling all over his turf," Cretin-Derham Hall coach Mike Scanlan said. "I've read he is a pretty good recruiter and that's what that job is all about. There are plenty of good coaches, [but] if you do not get the players, you will not do very well."
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis and Rob Ianello, the Irish recruiting coordinator, were in St. Paul on Tuesday to have lunch with Scanlan and watch the Raiders' home basketball game with Hastings last night.
Junior Michael Floyd, one of the nation's most sought-after wide receivers, plays for the basketball team.
Dick Tressel, an Ohio State assistant coach, and Wyoming head coach Joe Glenn also were there.
Floyd has scholarship offers from Minnesota, Notre Dame, Ohio State and four other colleges. Two of Floyd's basketball teammates, juniors John Nance and Joe Schafer, are also Division I football prospects.
Brewster's selection surprised state high school coaches as well as in-state recruits, but they also expressed faith and hope.
"I never heard of him," said Eden Prairie coach Mike Grant, whose Eagles won the Class 5A title last fall. "But you either have to have faith in Joel Maturi or you don't. And I like [Maturi] a lot. I don't think he drew a name out of a hat."
Grant said it will take three seasons to judge Brewster's hiring: "Either people will say Joel is a genius, or people will ask, 'Where did you drag this guy up from?' "
Osseo offensive lineman Chris Bunders, one of nine Minnesotans who have committed to the Gophers, said he was just happy the U finally named a coach.
"I really wanted to see who the coach would be before the signing date," said Bunders, referring to Feb. 7. "[Brewster] has good credentials as an NFL and college coach. I'm excited to meet and talk with him."
Right now, Brewster is only a name Bunders has read a few times in the newspapers: "I don't know every coach in the NFL and in college -- it would be scary if I did. I'm sure he is qualified."
Maple Grove offensive lineman Ryan Wynn, another Gophers recruit, is pleased by what he's heard about his new coach.
"[Brewster] is young, charismatic and will help the Gophers compete at the highest levels," Wynn said.

"Running backs Darrell Scott, 3,194 yards and 44 TDs at Moorpark (Calif.) "
3,000+ yards?? That's crazy! I didn't see a profile on him, is ND looking at this guy? I would hope so if he was mentioned in the USA Today article noting all the other top national recruits for '08.

Brewster taps Cretin-D.H. pipeline
CHARLEY WALTERS
New Gophers football coach Tim Brewster on Thursday offered tenders to three Cretin-Derham Hall juniors who last week made unofficial campus visits. They are quarterback John Nance, offensive tackle Joe Schafer and running back-defensive back Shady Salamon.
Cretin-Derham Hall wideout Michael Floyd, the star of Minnesota's prep class, already had been offered a tender by former Gophers coach Glen Mason.
Six Minnesota high school juniors are believed to have been offered football tenders by the Gophers. The others are defensive lineman Willie Mobley of Eden Prairie and linebacker Sam Maresh of Champlin Park.
In past years, Notre Dame has had success recruiting Cretin-Derham Hall players. Brewster's early-offer strategy might pay off. Floyd, Nance, Schafer and Salamon are close friends and might want to remain together in college.
Meanwhile, Brewster's quarterback son, Clint, said he's nearly 100 percent committed to Illinois. His father, though, still is trying to persuade him to come to Minnesota.
"Right now I'm going to Illinois," Clint said Thursday from Denver, Colo., where he is a senior at Mullen High. "My decision has been made since last summer. My dad is recruiting me like any other prospect. He says it (Minnesota) is a better situation for me, the school, the campus, how nice it is.
"There's not too much he can say, though. I've been living with him my whole life, and I think it's just time for us to part ways."

Hopefully that holds true with his younger son Nolan ('08 S) too, and that Charlie will be able to hold off Brewster's charge for Floyd.

Well he is already trying to get into CD. I still believe that it is going to take awhile to change that program from a run dominate to a successfully balanced team.

Apparently a change of heart for young Clint. Being reported on Scout that he will decommit from Ill and sign with Minn. Good news that Zook loses a player!!! But, will it give Minn a bigger advantage with his brother next year??

Mr. Floyd now that G. Little is not going to be playing WR for us in the coming years, that is one less guy you have to compete with for playing time. I am pretty sure you can come in and start at WR for ND if you choose to come here. ND needs Michael Floyd

Hopefully Floyd doesn't make the same mistake as some unmentioned WR recruits this year.
