James Green to Minnesota

[I4Jay]

Wow. FLA to Minnesota. He's gonna freeze his butt off!

You'd be surprised, Minnesota used to have a nice lil pipeline from florida. back in the late 90s, a couple of my friends went up there to play Football for them

He wasn't any good and we didn't need him, anyway. JK. He would've been more of a difference maker than Nuke IMO. I wish him the best of luck.

 

[crunchimusmaximus]

I thought he was going to be pretty good. Nuke was overrated at best. That little midget couldn't catch a bad cold.

 

[codyg10]

We really dont need him anyway with Ambles Milton and Thompkins coming in

 

[nicksjuzunk]

He is fully qualified now. The issue is we have guys we like better committed at receiver. He was recruited over.

This.

The writing was on the wall once began picking up higher rated WRs. He may be good, but we should have better players in place once NSD comes.

You missed my point. :hi:

Minnesota is the coldest state in the US except for Alaska. NY climate is mild by comparison. It's quite a shock for someone (Green) who grew up in FLA to experience bitterly cold winters.

I lived in Canada many years and I know cold weather (-30F). Not fun!

 

[I4Jay]

and you missed my point. Kids from Florida have been going to Minnesota from Florida since the 90s. its not as big of a deal as You think it is

there are 7 kids from Florida on their current roster right now. :hi:

 

[smokey8555]

Well, I guess if that's his decision he'll just have to live with it. But it does get very cold in Minnesota - I don't think he'll be happy! There's got to be someplace in the South that would have wanted him (besides us) assuming he could qualify academically.

if green is headed north will that allow us to sign another guy this year?just wondering.

No, IIRC we can enroll only 25 + back count 2 EE's = 27 total enrollees for 2010. I don't think he was ever counted in our 2010 numbers.

I wish James success at Minnesota.
