With eight days until national signing day, I caught up with CBS Sports Network's recruiting expert Tom Lemming today and got his thoughts. A sampling:
On QB Chris Streveler (Woodstock, Ill.)
"I watched him play this year," Lemming said. "He's definitely a big-time quarterback with arm and running skills and could develop, just like last year when they brought in [Philip] Nelson."
On WR Drew Wolitarsky (Canyon Country, Calif.)
"He's not real fast, but he's big and catches everything within reach," Lemming said. "We had him at a couple of our combines the last two years. I was impressed with him. He's a red-zone type receiver who doesn't drop passes."
On RB Berkley Edwards (Chelsea, Mich.)
"He's a small, compact and explosive running back," Lemming said. "All his strength is in his legs, and that's what you want in a running back. He can run between the tackles effectively and has real good speed to cut it outside, so I wouldn't be surprised if he [plays] next year."
On Minnesota's in-state talent
Lemming said it was the thinnest crop from within Minnesota's borders that he can remember.
