Lamonte Edwards to commit?

TheDinkytowner · #1 03-05-2009, 09:43 PM

It's Sid, but he was right on Gjere

"And expecting to announce for the Gophers in the next few days is running back Lamonte Edwards of Woodbury."

All I have to say is, this guy REALLY likes Marc Trestman. Also, I didn't know Konrad Zagzebski was from Washington state.

I had Edwards being the first in-state to commit, I was wrong but I couldn't be more happy about it. DT- I hope this comes true within the next week! This recruiting class has me SO stoked and we only have 3 commits so far! I know they're verbals but its nice.

Pretty sure I read somewhere Brew wants him at LB which I think his size and speed would be perfect for.

We're recruiting him as a Running Back but he has the athleticism to play OLB if that doesn't work.

Thanks grunkie! I must have just been dreaming of a starting LB corp of Edwards, Maresh, and big Z!

Is Lamont a MN kid with high potential flying under the radar? Or is there national (or regional) recruiting interest on him? Does he have anyother teams in contact with him? I like what I've heard about the kid!

According to Rivals, he has offers from Minnesota, Iowa, and UAB. He also expects a Wisconsin offer this weekend when he attends junior day there. Getting interest (but no offers yet) from Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern and Notre Dame.

More good news in the offing here. I love the fact that Brewster is being aggressive, something that we rarely saw with Mason. Granted, the recruiting approach is going to need to translate to results on the field sooner or later, but I'm not even thinking about that possible rain cloud right now.

A post on Scout says that he won't be committing just yet. He is attending WI Junior Day and they listed Woodbury's coach as the source.

Are you doubting Sid? Sid is the original recruiting guru.

Yeah, just like his call on Casey Dehn.

No one's been more dead on when it comes to Gopher football since Brewster took over than Sid....No one! Considering he's sooooo far off the mark on everything else, I have to believe he's being spoon fed solid info. Edwards will commit soon if Sid is reporting it.

These characters who find every reason to rip Sid make me laugh. I love this crusty old journalism lion roaming around his domain of Minnesota sports. He is a constant, an institution, arrogant, living sports history, an insider, story teller, right, wrong and always interesting. He is tottering a little now, but he is Sid. You smile and listen/read. He is just great to have around.

I don't know about you, but I will really miss him when he finally departs the scene. His column was the first thing I turned to when I was a kid growing up in Central Minnesota.

Rip this old lion all you want, you won't diminish him.

Plus, if you want a journalist who will help hype your program - Sid is the way to go. We know where Brewster stands with Reusse (as far away as he can). And not so sure on Souhan. But if you get Sid helping preach for you - well, why not? I say keep feeding him insider info. =)

Sid reported again this morning that Lamonte Edwards might commit as early as today. He also reported his UAB offer as an offer from "Alabama."
