As I have discussed before on Caste Football, MN(and bordering white states like ND, SD) have a tremendous amoount of D1 talent. I would say it is a hotbed of underutilised and discriminated against white talent.

If you look at the success of the programs at all levels it is staggering and unprecedented when you compare the MN area to how well it does on the national stage.

DIII- Wisconsin-Whitewater lost national championship to Mount Union last year. St John's in MN is a perennial top 5 and won the National Championship a few years ago.There are numerous quality schools that knock eachother out in DIII playoff scenario.

DII.North Dakota and South Dakota state schools were dominant in DII by winning National Championship etc over the years

DI-AA..this is going to be the next butt kicking development with North Dakota State and South Dakota State moving to DI-AA. North Dakota State probably would have won the national championship last year if they would have been eligible for playoffs and went 10-1 with only loss to the Gophers. They missed a last second chip shot in the metrodome because their kicker was a non-scholarship freshman etc. (although recent development is South Dakota State looking to brothers in skill positions so this could hurt them)

I DIGRESS..

So when I read the below article in Star Tribune that new coach Tim Brewster hired 6 of 9 brothers to be assistant coaches I knew the lack of in state recruiting of white skill players wasn't going to change.

Check out this quote to give us a hint of things to come.

"When I was putting together my staff, I wanted to totally eliminate the situational recruiter," he said. "I wanted guys who can go recruit any situation, anywhere, any time. That's why I feel so strongly about my staff."

Why do I get the feeling he is actually saying that to fill the roster with blacks I need all my recruiters to be black?
