Michael Floyd, the outstanding Cretin-Derham Hall junior receiver who is a big-time national football recruit, told GopherIllustrated.com that Notre Dame is his first choice. He said Minnesota is No. 2 but he doesn't know what the Gophers can do to jump over the Irish.

Although it is pretty much common knowledge that CDH is a pipeline to ND, I thought I would post this article on DD.

Found this article over on the Wisconsin Scout Board. Their fans on their board were laughing about Glen Mason (Minnesota coach) "wasting" his time visiting Floyd since he's pretty much a lock to ND lol.

Β 

Thought it was pretty interesting how one of their fans called Floyd the best player to come out of Minnesota in 20 years.

Hey 'shark83'...nice post. Floyd is honestly one reason why I have felt that Benn going elsewhere would not hurt us in the receiving corp. Really nice read! Thanks again!

if its between Minnesota and Notre Dame i think you can write his name down beside Notre Dame.

if he is as good as reported and has star potential then i dont see him choosing Minnesota over Notre Dame.

I'm sure other big schools will get involved with Floyd but there is reason for ND to have a ton of confidence when it comes to Floyd.

Saw that he won Gatorade Player of the Year for Minnesota as only a junior..pretty impressive..hopefully next year we will be able to land him.

i think ND has a very good chance with him but it's still very early. if ND falls to 7-5 next year i wonder how that would effect recruiting. after losing guys like james wilson, marc tyler, arrelious benn and andre jones i've learned that nothing is a sure thing.

i think it would be amazing to land a larry fitzgerald type WR.

Russ, we won't go 7-5, so I'm pretty confident on Floyd. It just depends if he ends up loving some other school on a visit.

At least weather won't be an issue with him.... :D

LOL! thats one negative recruiting angle ron zook can use..

i think floyd will appreciate the fact that Charlie isn't taking massive amounts of receivers this year. I think Clausen appreciated Weis denying Mustain b/c of his promise to take only two QBs. I think we could see the same situation play out with Floyd where he could end up committing early like JC and being the leader of next years class.

Hopefully Dan Buckner will be comin too.

I know he said he wants to verb early

im worried that if he commits early that it might be for texas. UT does a great job in securing the top texas recruites very early, he also said that he always wanted to play for texas.

7-5 would have very little effect on recruiting

and likely wont happen

Yeah, Buckner will be a much tougher pull than Floyd.

I've noticed the staff is all over Texas for 2008 recruits. I think Haywood is the recruiter down there? It'll be tough to compete with Texas, but I think/hope we can get a few guys.

Yeah Russ, it's always tough to take Texas kids outta Texas. Plus he does wanna enroll early.

Β 

B&G had somethin on him and said that the offensive scheme will play a roll in where he goes.

Hopefully he sees how we like to go 4&5 wide
