[Gophergrandpa]

JUCO trifecta for PJ:

Gophers add big JUCO receiver Derrick Salley Jr.

The Gopher football program picked up a third commitment from a junior college transfer in as many days. On Sunday, Hutchinson Community College wide reciever Derrick Salley Jr. joined current team…

HAYOOOOOOOOO!


Let’s go

Big wr. Looks like a nice addition.

 

[MNVCGUY]

6'4" 220.....through 8 games this season has 33 catches for 645 yards and 12 TDs.

Must have a good connection with the Hutchinson CC staff. Interesting to see 3 JUCO guys after that had seemed like an area where players were hardly ever coming from anymore.

Hopefully they pan out.

 

[Tech Machine]

Love the size, so will the Drake.

L . . . F . . . G . . . !!!

No guarantees of success, but these last 5-6 commitments all for big need positions/fills/depth.

Did it get decided that juco doesn't count against eligibility?

My understanding is that it’s unsettled but tea leaves say yes

 

[gopherbadgerman]

I won’t get too excited, but it looks like a decent potential WR

Wow I hadn’t even considered that. Potentially HUGE brain move by PJ and co if these guys end up having 4 years of eligibility.

Yeah like I said...Mankato State hockey style 24 year old seniors. Could be a new strategy.

 

[pharmacygopher]

P5 offers from Illinois, Kansas State, Oklahoma State

 

[Panthadad2]

A quality target for Lindsey!

I thought the portal darn near killed JC, but things must be looking up. J. Kill pulled the team out of Brewster's hole using a nice core of JC players. It would be great if JC is a new (renewed?) recruiting opportunity.

I wonder why the JUCo route all of a sudden? Less NIL?

 

[Stuff]

Did it get decided that juco doesn't count against eligibility?

Diego Pavia has a lawsuit against the NCAA saying his JUCO year shouldn't count against eligibility. NCAA granted him a waiver while the case is be decided and is the only reason he is playing this year. Pavia won the initial court case but the NCAA is appealing the decision.


On a separate note, I wonder if PJ watched a Bill Snyder documentary recently.

I think in this case its a reflection of the current roster, especially WR. They need help fast.

 

[MNVCGUY]

I would not be shocked if they are factoring the eligibility piece in thinking there is a good chance these guys could be older and still have quite a bit of eligibility left.

Would think they would be eligible for same NIL as anyone else so doubt that is a factor.

If good enough for Coach Bielema then good enough for me.

I would think they are playing at a CC for a reason...could be seen as genius or desperation.

 

[Flecknation]

Can we now get the number 1 JUCO RB?!?!?!

 

[USAF]

Can we now get the number 1 JUCO RB?!?!?!

I'd take the #1 and #2 offensive guards.

 

[Flecknation]

take them all!

 

[PMWinSTP]

Can we now get the number 1 JUCO RB?!?!?!

Can we shoot for a little higher level?

 

[Some guy]

Can we shoot for a little higher level?

Gonna need like 9 running backs in 2027 as we do every odd year

So there's not some top G6, FCS or D2 WRs or RBs Gophs can bring on board?

We can bring them too?

Then why aren't they?

 

[Some guy]

Then why aren't they?

It’s only November?

 

[MNVCGUY]

You know the transfer portal isn't open right now right?

 

[PMWinSTP]

It’s only November?

So wasting spots while waiting?
