(*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 commitment number 11 last night and the first defensive back in the 2017 class when Claudin Cherelus gave his verbal to the Gophers. Cherelus is a Naples, Florida kid, he is ranked as a 2-star prospect and only can claim offers from UMass, Northern Illinois and Samford.
