That was my first thought when I read something similar on twitter. From a distance, TC appears to be immature and disillusioned with his own status creating petty and puerile issues with Fleck, the gophers program and others. From the perspective of a Gophers fan, one can be disappointed and find it hard for TC go against his alma mater. But in the end, I would say that TC is looking out for TC. Ultimately, I see TC out to promote himself, his brand and his people.
I was thinking last weekend while watching Minnehaha AAU play in the MSHSL boys basketball tourney that it would be disappointing if gopher football loses out on all of these kids (Suggs, Johnson, McDonald) but not surprising. I can’t quite figure out why, but I know better than to blame TC or criticize Fleck’s recruiting. Each kid has their own story, and Johnson sounds like the only one that Fleck may have a shot at landing. But, I will also add, one should never count out Fleck on the recruiting trail!
