Minnesota Gophers football coach Tim Brewster is already looking ahead to 2009; not that this season doesn’t matter - it does, a lot - but he’s already secured an oral commit out of Houston Cypress Ridge RB Hasan Lipscomb, who Rivals.com rates as a four-star prospect and one of the top 250 juniors in the nation.
While he may live where cell phone repeater aren’t needed in the Houston area, Lipscomb comes from an area like that; he moved from New Orleans to Texas following Hurricane Katrina.
Rushing for 1600 last season as a junior, Lipscomb may be the first back to commit to the Gophers under Brewster that has the potential to make Gophers fans reminisce a bit less about the glory days of Lawrence Maroney and Marion Barber III sharing the same maroon-and-gold uniforms for a couple seasons.
