Any word on Royce White & Trevor Mbwake?
Is Royce White still under investigation for the campus theft incident? When is Trevor's trial? It is a shame not to have these two talented beefy players in the line up. Imagine what the Gophers line up it will be like to opposing teams. I hope their legal matter is resolved soon.
In RW's case, I hope he stays the straight and narrow course and learn from Tubby.This young man needs to grow up fast. I hope the U has a strong support network around him. He'd be throwing away the potential to earn millions if he proves he is good enough to go to the next level.
Is Tubby going to redshirt them once they are cleared of their legal matters?
Cameron Clarkson, CDH
I've always thought it will be nice if the Gophers can recruit a beefy running back. I don't know if he is going to play college football, but Cretin Derham Hall Senior Cameron Clarkson at 5'11" and 270lbs., looked good as a running back in CDH's victory over Eastview. He normally plays DE.
I found nothing listed on him. Does anyone know about his college prospects?
Somebody should inform the Brewmeister about this kid.
RB Josh Huff, and current Gophs Recruiting
The Gophers 2010 Recruiting Class is looking good on paper (#27, Rivals, 10/31/09).
The most recent commit, Josh Huff from Aldine TX is a (4* Rivals) game changer type of RB.
Take a look at his video:

This kid has 4.4 speed, runs well on sweeps and pitches, as is deadly after the catch as a receiver. It appears like he has good running instincts.
Hope to goodness that he'll not be academically ineligible like Hasan Lipscomb. IMO, Brewster is rolling the dice on fringe players that may be overlooked by major FB powerhouses with a potential for a big payback.
In addition to speedy backs, I'd like to see the Gophers go after a bruising back - someone like current Badger John Clay (6'1, 245 lbs) or the great Badger running back Ron Dayne (5'10", 250 lbs). Now, we are talking about real smash mouth mano-a-mano Big Ten Football.
It appears that the Gophs are recruiting pretty decent, big beefy OLs. I am not holding my breath on this one.If Campion and Searcy rejoin the team, that will be a loaded frontline.
Imagine how big the OL will be if Seantrel decides to commit to the Gophs. About the only chance they've got is if the Gophs win their remaining games. Yes - beat Iowa.
Can't stand seeing current OL getting beaten on the outside rushes.
Hopes springs eternal. One thing you have to credit the Brewmeister - he is trying. Oh well. That is my penney's worth of thought.

Josh Campion, Joey Searcy, and others
What happened to these two 2009 recruits - Josh Campion & Joey Searcy? They are not on the Gophers Roster. Did they change their minds at the last minute, or did they have eligibility issues?
Also, it seems that quite a few of the 2008 and 2007 Gopher Football recruits are not on the current Gopher Roster. What happened to these players?
Is Brewster rolling the dice on fringe players knowing that there is a high risk/reward?
