(*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? )
Last night the Gophers received their 6th verbal commitment for the 2017 Class and the 5th from an in-state prospect. Nathan Bursch is a tight end from Woodbury who earned himself a scholarship offer after a couple good camp performances and once offered he was very excited to pull the trigger.
Ryan Burns of GopherDigest ($) talked with one of Bursh's high school coaches who had a lot of very good things to say about the new Gopher commit.
