It took Andre McDonald quite awhile to decide where to play college football. It didn't take long for him to seal the deal on Wednesday morning.

McDonald, the star receiver from Hopkins, was one of 23 players who signed a National Letter of Intent or acceptance of admission form with the "U" by mid-morning on National Signing Day.

There also was one apparent surprise. Dinero Moss -- a defensive back from Sunrise, Fla., whose Twitter page still listed him as a Gophers commit -- tweeted that he was "talking (sic) my talent to IOWA." A subsequent report said Moss will enroll at Ellsworth (Iowa) Community College.

Here was the complete list, per the Gophers' Web site, as of 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, when media relations man Andy Seeley said coaches weren't expecting any more NLIs before the end of the day:
