Barker Quits Gophers

A.J. Barker is the Gophers best receiver. He said he's quitting the team because of the abuse that Coach Kill has shown him since he got a high ankle sprain in late October.

He doesn't say exactly what's been happening, but he says that Kill and the training staff are making life tough for him since he says he can't currently play. He also alleges other abuses as well.

Not sure what will come of all of this, but it's interesting to note that the primary reason Minnesota hired Kill was because of his great reputation with the  students he coaches.

It could be just one disgruntled player or a pattern of abuse. The University will be required to take a much closer look either way.
