Gophers fans are rightfully excited about MarQueis Gray's signing. The 4-star recruit is a dual-threat QB that could excel in Brewster's spread offense. Just look at how dangerous Dennis Dixon and IU's Kellen Lewis (a more apt comparison) are in similar schemes. I'm still not sold on Brewster, but must admit his first recruiting class is impressive. Now he just has to develop and coach them.
There is one HUGE negative with this signing--Gray is a product of Indianapolis' Ben Davis High School. Does that name ring a bell? If it doesn't, does Courtney James? That's right, Gophers fans, the school that sent you Courtney James is sending its latest high-profile recruit to the Twin Cities.
Fine, just a guy from the same high school as a linchpin of the downfall of Clem fiasco; big deal, who cares, right?
As Lee Corso likes to say, not so fast my friend! What about a guy who is helping to bring down the Timberwolves? True story, Randy Wittman also went to Ben Davis.
Gophers probation, worst season in Wolves (maybe NBA) history, the kicker who knocked the 98 Vikings out of the playoffs, and now a 4-star QB.
It's a bummer that the 2011 Rose Bowl team is going to be wiped out of the record books.
