*(*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? )
Gopher football got it's first out-of-state verbal this weekend and it came from Kyrei Fisher, an OLB from Union City High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fisher is coming from an Oklahoma football powerhouse as Union City HS has won 8 state titles in Oklahoma's largest class with 7 of those coming between 2002 and 2011.
