Some background...he was here yesterday. Very nice pickup hopefully.
2Great pickup. Does he have 2 or 3 years of eligibility remaining?
6'1" 200lb. As a DT? LB maybe but we need safeties so hope we can keep him there.The Gophers are recruiting him as a DT, am I correct? Looks like a good athlete.
Why? Do share.not so sure he flipped from Mississippi State...
Oh boy. More JuCOs.

Most of our NFL guys over the last two years have been JuCo players. It a way to make up for lower level recruiting and balancing classes. We'll likely see a JC or grad transfer QB as well.

I see us moving toward Bill Snyder type of recruiting and going more JC transfers. We've limited D1 talent in Minnesota and we have trouble attracting top recruits nationally. Snyder have made a living by bringing in 6-10 JC transfers a year.
No. Claeys has said he has no interest in this approach. We recruit JUCOs only when there is a need or someone is too good to pass up. BTW, here are the number of JUCOs we've recruited per class:
2017 - 0
2016 - 4
2015 - 1
2014 - 0
2013 - 2
So to reiterate, no, we won't be recruiting 6-10 JUCOs this year or anytime as long as Claeys is the HC. Stupid take.
Kyle Goblirsch/247 saying that Landrews contradicted this and confirmed his status with MSU.
I tried, but couldn't, embed his tweet.
