Tim Brewster's Recruiting Class Has Issues

No one takes Sid Hartman seriously anymore.

Actually, some of us never started.

However, Sid (who writes for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, by the way) has enough of an audience that he can't throw this kind of note in his regular column and get away with it.

The big question about the Gophers football team's highly ranked recruiting class is how many of the players haven't passed their entrance tests or don't have the credits to gain admission to the university. The scholarships given to recruits include money for enrolling in summer school. Some people, who should be in the know, report that coach Tim Brewster is not happy with some of the decisions that the school's admissions office could make. More than a couple of the top recruits might not be admitted.

Shocking. Dude coaches a team to the worst record they've ever had (1-11), then recruits his tail off, only to find that at least a few of his recruits struggle to become eligible.

So much for that third-best class in the Big Ten, right Rivals?

The "all-talk" label really isn't going away from Mr. Brewster anytime soon, because fans here don't like it when they hear about players struggling to become eligible. After all, this ain't Ohio State*.

(* - A group of Michigan fans paid me very handsomely to type that last line. Sorry. I'm a sucker for the greenbacks.)
