Gophers officials are going to meet with the media this Friday to explain in detail the Gophers priority point system for seating in the new football stadium. The school will send out info to fans next week.

I’m going to be out of pocket Friday but we expect to have a story in Saturday’s paper explaining how the school arrived at this system and how it works. I know there have been a lot of questions about seating in the new stadium so hopefully we’ll be able to provide some answers.

– As many expected, Breck wide receiver Bryce McNeal committed to Michigan after visiting there this weekend. The Gophers will continue to recruit him this season, much like they did with Michael Floyd and Willie Mobley last year.

– I talked to incoming prep school recruit Vinnie Hill (he asked that we call him Vinnie) and he said he’s awaiting a SAT score to know if he will be able to enroll next month. If he gets in, Hill said he doesn’t care if he plays D-back or WR, but he said he definitely wants to play both ways.

– Incoming freshman defensive tackle Jewhan Edwards on his mindset coming to school: “I’m coming there to start.”

– Congrats to former QB Bryan Cupito, who got engaged last week.

– Head equipment manager Darin Kerns has resigned to take a similar job at Florida State.

– I’ll return from vacation officially next week. Talk to you then.
