First-year Minnesota football coach Tim Brewster, despite a 1-10 won-lost record, insists recruiting is going well. Among the 18 players committed for next year, 14 have offers from Bowl Championship Series conference schools other than Minnesota. Those BCS-school offers, excluding the Gophers, total 55. Minnesota is expected to sign 28 recruits for next year's class, including Notre Dame transfer Matt Carufel. Assuming there are no more decommitments, that would leave nine scholarships available.

The next step is to turn the recruiting into results on the field. We know you can recruit Brewster, now prove you can coach them

who cares if he recruits good people they will still do bad

It will be nice to have a little more competition for the little brown jug. So, hope they get some recruits and that new stadium they want as well.

As it becomes more common to stick up for your conference, I think it would be better if Minnesota could get better, then maybe the BIg 10 could be considered the top conference again...

He just needs a QB to excecute his offense. He'll probably turn to his son, next year.

The only success Minnesota ever had was when they were playing the part of the MINN ST Screamin' Eagles on Coach

Sorry but .. at what point do you tell yourself "Man...I've always wanted to be a Gopher".

They ARE NOT recruiting well. They have the 33rd ranked class in the nation. That is nothing to write home about.

xxx84xxx OH yes...Kelly Fox..total babe...rumor around the campfire is she had a nudie scene on some cable show? Now she teaches science at some school in CA.

Yes, when was the last time you heard the expression:

"I am living the dream being a gopher!"

November 16, 2007  05:55 PM ET

the gophers have always had a horrible, atrocious DEFENSE.
they've had some great running with the barber and maroney era, and had some decent passing.

but their defense always looks like they're out there with 9 guys.
every damn year.

Brewster will recruit better the closer he gets to the new stadium. Remember that all of the historical years for gopher football happened on campus. Six national titles and 18 big ten champions.

There are some magic days ahead at three corners. Marriuci Arena where the always strong hockey team plays, Williams Arena with the no brainer turn around with Tubby Smith and TCF Bank stadium will sit right across the street. I dont think any Northern town could have recruited recruit with the old white elephant called the metro dome that competes with a pro football and baseball team.

Better days should be coming. Brewster can sell.
