(*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.)
The Gopher defense and the overall Gopher recruiting class got a major bump on Saturday when Kendarian Handy-Holly gave his verbal commitment to be a Golden Gopher.
Handy-Holly comes to us from Alabama where he was teammates with current Gopher Mark Williams in 2015. Scout has him a 4-star recruit and in their top 300 while the other recruiting services give Handy-Holly 3-stars.
