I'd like to hear some opinions on Sims vs. Hageman if any film analyzers would care to share.

I haven't seen Sims' film but Hageman is my top guy at TE. He is explosive, has great size and a great frame, catches the ball well, and is almost like a huge WR. Sims is a good athlete but I like Hageman.

Sims also needs to make up his mind 100% and concentrate on football. I think of the two we have a better shot at Sims. No inside info. just a gut feeling (i have a big gut by the way). Thanks RB07OSU!

No prob and I agree we have the better shot at Sims, and I would love to have him. Also agree that he needs to concentrate on football...that's where his money is imo and he could be as good as Hageman (and is considered better by the services usually) if he concentrates on it.

GopherHole.com - Part 1: Eric Hageman adopts supportive approach in Ra'Shede's recruitment

The road to becoming one of the nation?s premier high school TEs hasn?t been a typical one for Ra?Shede Hageman. From playing at Washburn High School in Minneapolis as opposed to transferring to talent-rich Eden Prairie or Wayzata, to thriving in a nontraditional home life, Hageman has used hard work, a close family and life experiences to put him in position to choose where he wants to play college football and pursuit an education. At 6-6, 260lbs, Hageman has worked his way to becoming one of the most coveted TEs in the nation and touts an offer list that few can match including Ohio State, Florida, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and of course his hometown Golden Gophers among many other options.

But the road to elite national recruit wasn?t easy. In a detailed and in-depth two part interview, GopherHole.com profiles Hageman through the eyes of his father, Eric Hageman, and Ra?Shede himself. Eric discusses Ra?Shede?s recruitment and the factors that are going into their decision-making process, the easy decision to stay at Washburn HS, as well as detailing Eric and his wife?s decision to adopt Ra?Shede and his younger brother Xavier when Ra?Shede was seven years old.

Few interviews get this in-depth through the eyes of both parent and recruit, but it reveals the incredible relationship that families have and how love and support are imperative to an individual fulfilling a life dream and one?s fullest potential.

GopherHole.com - Part 2: Ra'Shede Hageman on eating, recruiting and persevering

A phone call from Jim Tressel. A voicemail from Urban Meyer. A pat on the back from Tim Brewster. Another letter in the mail from that coach at Wisconsin. Throw in eating two breakfasts?, two lunches, two dinners and at least three snacks ? all intertwined between two workouts a day ? and there is the life of Ra?Shede Hageman, one of the nation?s top TE prospects, and the recipient of much admiration from Gopher fans. At 6?6?, 260lbs, Hageman is a coach?s dream, and as the former TE coach for the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos, Coach Brewster knows as well as anyone what it takes to get to the NFL, and that is the reason he is one of the Gophers top recruiting targets in 2009.

But Brewster?s goal of working with Hageman like he did Antonio Gates won?t be easy as two of the nation?s premier programs ? Ohio State and Florida ? have visions of the Minneapolis product playing in Columbus or Gainesville.

In a Part 2 of GopherHole?s in-depth conversation with the Hageman family, Ra?Shede discusses the recruiting battle that will have some of the nation?s top coaches filing the stands at Washburn High School this season, the intense workout routine he battles through twice a day, and the impact that his parents have had on his life.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall to hear how the OSU staff tries to pursuade any of these elite TEs....I just don't see it happening. That stated, maybe a kid like Hageman just wants to win and contribute (not necessarily be "the man")
