MarQueis Gray is a Golden Gopher!!

4 star QB MarQueis Gray from Indianapolis committed to the Gopher Football team on Saturday at the U.S. Army High School All-American game. Watch a video of Gray's announcement here. It would have been nice if he had a Gopher hat that actually fit, but i guess beggers can't be choosers. We'll take him!

Gray is a big time recruit and the biggest "get" so for for Minnesota and Tim Brewster. I expect Gray to be the starter next year, overtaking Adam Weber. However, it is possible that they will decide to redshirt Gray and give Weber another year, which I wouldn't have a problem with. That would give Gray the 2009 and 2010 seasons to rotate with Weber and then Gray could take over as the starter in 2011.

After the Gray commitment the 2008 Gopher Football recruiting class is ranked #21 in the nation! This is going to be a very good recruiting class for Tim Brewster, especially given that the Gopher went 1-11 last season.
