Minnesota interested in 2013 WR
Lake Gibson (Fla.) junior receiver Eric Carter has watched his stock soar this season. Carter has already earned all-county accolades for his great junior season. Carter's play has not gone unnoticed by football programs throughout the country.
"Schools that are interested in me include NC State, Tennessee, Florida, Florida State, Alabama, Duke, Georgia, and Minnesota," Carter said.
Jerry Kill and his staff have expressed their interest in adding speed and playmakers to the program multiple times. Carter uses his speed and playmaking ability as a receiver, punt returner and kick returner for Lake Gibson.
"Minnesota has been sending me a lot of emails and letters," said Carter. "I am trying to get out of Florida for college. Right now I would say my favorites are Alabama, Duke, Tennessee, Minnesota, and NC State."
Although Carter does not currently have any offers he knows exactly what he is looking for in a school. "Playing time, academics, and the coaching staff are the biggest factors in my recruitment," Carter stated.
Carter is a name to keep an eye on for Golden Gopher fans. The shifty playmaker has 39 receptions for 727 yards and six touchdowns to help Lake Gibson to a 7-2 record.
Charles excited about Minnesota
Hollywood Hills (Fla.) defensive tackle Jean-Marc Charles was able to catch the Minnesota/Iowa game last weekend on his phone.
"I was able to watch parts of the game on my phone," Charles said. "The last three minutes were killing me."
The three-star prospect came away impressed with what he saw.
"I watched the video of the locker room after the game and it looks like the team is really starting to come together," said Charles. "The team can achieve whatever they fight for. They are rebuilding right now but at a better place than people think."
Charles plans to take his official visit to Minnesota the weekend of November 11th when the Gophers take on Wisconsin.
"I have had a chance to check out the facilities and school online," Charles explained.?
Charles has stated all along that West Virginia and Minnesota are his favorite schools. Where does Minnesota stand now?
"If things go well on my visit, I would definitely commit," said Charles. "I would love to be a Golden Gopher."
Fruechte anxious to start
Isaac Fruechte is excited to make the big transition from Rochester Community & Technical College to the University of Minnesota.
"I am so jacked to have the opportunity to be there in January," Fruechte said. "This summer I ran routes against former Gopher Marcus Sherels. I was very thankful to have the opportunity to go against him. I feel like it made me a lot better as a player."
Fruechte is more excited than ever to be a Gopher after watching the win against Iowa.
"I was almost speechless because of how awesome the game was," explained Fruechte. "The team showed a lot of character. It was great to see them get a win."
Fruechte had the opportunity to meet Gopher commits Philip Nelson and Maxx Williams shortly after signing with the maroon and gold. He had the opportunity to meet the rest of the in-state commitments about two weeks ago.
"All the in-state guys had a meeting with Coach Kill," Fruechte said. "He explained to us some things that were going on and filled us in on his health. It was great to talk to coach and meet the rest of the guys. It made me more excited about the things that were going on (with the program)."
The 6'3, 212 pound receiver has been training at RCTC to prepare himself for the grind of the Big Ten.
Gophers looking at JUCO linebacker
The coaches at Minnesota continue to look for junior college help at many positions. One linebacker that has garnered interest is Chris Bermond. The Pearl River (Miss.) Community College linebacker has picked up heavy interest from multiple schools since the season began.
"Schools that have been talking to me are Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Minnesota, Louisiana-Lafayette, and Troy," said Bermond.
Bermond does not have any favorites right now but does have an idea of where he would like to play.
"I would really like to play in the SEC," Bermond explained. "Southern Miss has been playing well lately also so they are probably in my top group."
What about Minnesota? "I've never really been familiar with the area so I can't really say how interested I am," said Bermond. "I would love to visit. Coach Sawvel was at my school last week and said he would call me soon to discuss possibly setting up a visit."
Bermond is off to a fast start this season with 63 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble in eight games. Bermond is hoping that his fast start leads to his first offer.
"Minnesota has all my tape and they even sat down and watched some with my coach," explained Bermond. "My coach is pretty sure that they will offer."
The graduation of Gary Tinsley and uncertainty of Brendan Beal could mean the Gophers sign a junior college linebacker in this class.
