Big time OL pickup for the Gophers..

[Gopher Dano]

with OT Blaise Andries ...although I see Iowa didn't offer. I'm actually pretty excited about that, given Capt Kirk's reputation at developing O Linemen.

Chose us over Mich St, Oklahoma, TCU, Florida, Nebraska, Oregon & Arkansas.

Please stay away, Hawkeyes. TIA.

Getting a lineman from Minnesota is like getting special forces from France

 

[danny14]

Thought you might get shutout in recruiting this year, but Andries is a good start.

 

[spbc7]

At least you kept your best OL in-state this year

Isn't the French foreign legion pretty legendary? Just sayin'

Doesn't really matter up there with the coaching staff's inability at Minnesota to develop linemen.

 

[Suterman]

That is a nice get for the Gophers.

All bark no bite, I mean it's the French. They are like the little brother that knows he's backed by his 2 brothers that are the biggest on the block.

What's this have to do with Iowa? He's not from Iowa and Iowa didn't offer.

Doesn't this guy post here because there are no other gopher fans out there for him to talk with?

Subtle effort at a subte brag. Lucky for Minnesota the state of Iowa is load at OL this year.

 

[SotaHawk87]

I have a gopher buddy very excited about this one too? Those are nice offers but he's ranked like 330 nationally and a 3 star from what I can see!? Not sure that's post on an unrelated teams message board worthy..

 

[gilligan19]

because not all fans from other teams are trolls

as for IA staying away I don't think IA will offer as of right not they have the 2 best instate OL in Wirffs and Kallenberg committec and are recruiting a OL out of NJ and another instate OL Dykstra, either one woud make this a solid OL class for the Hawks, as it will be a class of 16-17 players so the coaches can be very selective in not who they will recruit but who they will take,

hmm Scherff was a 3* and Reiff was a 3* DE so not sure what your point is.

 

[gilligan19]

also nice to see a fellow BT member getting their best instate recruits to stay home

Leave please!

Gilligan arrived. End thread. To the OP:

I guess the only thing related would be the fact he had visited Iowa a couple of times...As you stated, the staff didn't offer..

Based on offers there 7 or 8 schools I'd choose over UM. There is something about playing for the home team and in front of the family. Good for him.

Sorry, can't let this kind of ignorant stereotyping go without comment. All bark, no bite? Today's French special police forces--examples being the National Gendarmerie Intervention Group and the Research Assistance Intervention Dissuasion, are considered among the world's elite--tactically strong, disciplined, highly trained, well-resourced. Walking back the calendar a bit, please tell us who our most important ally was during the American Revolutionary War.

 

[H4wkfan4life]

Just because you leave a "6 star" doesn't mean you started as one

OP-Congrats on getting your in state lineman with no other power 5 teams in your state for competition, quite the accomplishment

BTW the cubs are now 5-1....GO CUBBIES!!!

Better yet how about WW1 and WW2,oh that's right they surrendered.

To quote General George S. Patton.... "I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind."

 

[Roy-munson]

They didn't surrender in world war 1 they actually provided they biggest miltary strength to fight the central powers... They have also help America in the Korean, gulf and the war on terror.. Just because they don't join every war doesn't mean they are a weak country..

For the record, Patton also wrote anti-Semitic statements in his diary ("lower than animals") and treated Jews badly in the former concentration camps.

also nice to see a fellow BT member getting their best instate recruits to stay home

Dumbest thing I've ever heard.. Your level of stupid is something that can't be comprehended

 

[pacnorthhawkeye]

Like being a cardinal fan yet cheering for the Cubs because they are in same division....makes no sense...just means the Prozac is doing what it's supposed to...so congrats on that gilligan.

I guess seeing AJ in an Illini jersey would make you happy too

 

[pharmdfd]

So there's a long thread about a 3* OL choosing MN? Is it football season yet?!

 

[the24fan]

To the OP: If this isn't about IOWA recruiting, then most of us D.G.A.S!
To everyone else discussing France and their military:My god get a life! When did this become a political discussion? Keep that crap out of a sports discussion thread.

 

[thewop]

Getting a lineman from Minnesota is like getting special forces from France

I know a guy who joined the french foreign legion, apparently you have to be crazy in the head to do that. At least that's what he says, and he is.

You and your bold font need to take a lap and possibly sit this next one out.

 

[scotthawk1964]

You know, every time I come to the Hawkeye forum, and I see the topic headline "Big time OL get for the Gophers", I have to laugh. First of all, they have one commit, so I guess any commit would be BIG TIME at this stage. Secondly, Would not this topic be more appropriate on the Gopher board, or has Dano been shunned by his own and seeks refuge here? I know he comes here just to be a thorn, but you have to have some relevance first before you can become a thorn in someone's side. Poor Dano, the little engine that could.........Or thought he could........whatever.....LOL

Sauver des vies au mepris de la sienna. May I ask what your knowledge of the former GSIGN or more commonly known now as the GIGN is. You speak on authority as if you have knowledge of or have trained with the GIGN claiming they "are considered among the world's elite." I will agree strongly that France is our oldest and longest standing ally and a country who still views Americans favorably. I have a great respect for the Kampfschwimmer/3402.
