(*Editor's note...What the heck does "Commitment to Eight" mean? It is our new recurring title for recruit commitments referencing a commitment to work towards the Gopher's Eighth National Championship. A little bit tongue in cheek, but why not right? )
Minnesota picked up their second verbal for the class of 2017 with Robbinsdale Cooper offensive lineman Eric Obojei commiting on Sunday. Second verbal, second offensive lineman and second in-state product to give the Gophers a nice start to the Class of 2017.
Obojei's only other P5 offer was from Iowa State but the local 3-star had interest from Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.
