The Gophers landed another wide receiver recruit Saturday, when Rashad Still, a 6-5, 200-pound multi-sport standout from El Paso (Texas) Andress High School, gave them a verbal commitment.

Still, a top basketball player, didn't start playing football until high school, so he is considered a raw talent. He had very few other offers, but the Gophers are adding him to a growing contingent of tall, athletic receivers. Earlier in the week, they got a commitment from Hunter Register, a 6-5 receiver from Lafayette, La.
