Bursch was one I was hoping would stay a little under the radar, but after receiving additional offers from USD and SDSU was offered by the Gophers.  Uphill battle now, but Gindorff still in play.

Speculation that it is a new addition for the 2016 class at WR.  Don't have any names or anything at this time since I don't get Twitter at work (and I don't have a smartphone).

Might it be Demun Mercer, formerly of Texas State?

Nothing confirmed, but appears possible.

I see. I've got nothing either other than a few coaches are following him, he has something about "UND '17" on his Twitter handle and he just got released from Texas State. A former 3 star recruit out of Houston, rated #42 best College Football Player in Texas.  Hmmmm?

Haha... yup. interesting prospect, tho, FWIW.

Curious as to why he was suspended, then later kicked off Texas State's roster... if he is indeed the transfer.

Honesty, treating women with respect, no drugs, no stealing and no weapons.

  

Was for one of those 5 reason. Those were the core values the new coach installed when he arrived and it was said Demun and 2 others were kicked off for breaking teams core values.

I believe in Bubba and his staff so I therefore believe they had a long talk with this young man about second chances and that they have very high expectations for his behavior off the field.

Not surprisingly, Bursch has committed to UM.

It's sounds like Demun is the transfer according to SFI

It is interesting - another site has him (same name, same school) at 6'5", 205 and a WR.  But the info above appears to be correct.  It indicates he could also play DE.

Are you saying we lost a good offensive lineman?

I believe Demun Mercer is an incoming transfer and Demon Taylor is not an outgoing transfer.
