Good news for Gopher fans: you have a verbal commitment for your 2008 class. Bad news: The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is unimpressed. Witness their headline:U lands first '08 recruit: Cretin tailback Salamon
Minnesotans will probably parse this as "U lands first '08 recruit: [state powerhouse] Cretin[-Derham] tailback Salamon," but for outsiders that headline is rather... direct.
(Side note: while landing Salamon can't hurt in Minnesota's pursuit of Cretin wide receiver Michael Floyd, the Gophers aren't currently in his top five.)
