#Gophers D going through per-practice paces. DBs looks good. LBs? http://t.co/U5G3DPSsda

A first for the BTN tour: #Gophers team removed helmets and took collective knee for per-practice moment of silence/prayer/contemplation.

Talked to #Gophers coaches before practice. They want to get frosh QBs Donovahn Jones (WR) and Chris Streveler (RB) on field. Good athletes.

#Gophers true frosh RB Berkley Edwards has the giddy up this offense needs. http://t.co/B2twGp6PR7

#Gophers LB corps getting a huge boost from JCs De'Vondre Campbell and Damien Wilson. Campbell is a pterodactyl; Wilson is a bull.

BTN Camp Tour 2013 #Gophers Offense needs some explosive plays from the flank to have complete package

DAVE REVSINE
I really like the way the #Gophers OL has come together. Been building to this. Good group w good depth
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 16, 2013
Donovahn Jones working out w both QB's and WR's. #Gophers definitely need some explosion on the flank – could certainly help
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 16, 2013
Jones just made a really nice catch on a well-covered route. I'm impressed
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 16, 2013
JUCO transfer Damien Wilson running with the 1 LB's – looks like a guy who can help at a position of need.
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 16, 2013
No glaring weaknesses with this #Gophers team. WR's and back 7 aren't great – but they're ok. Will beat someone they're not supposed to.
