You know who has to be really pissed about this is the other top programs like OSU, Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Mich and so on who are going after the elite 5-Stars or even those elite 4-Stars who are ranked in the top 200 players. You know there were some 5-Stars players who probably heard the news...

I took most of this content from an article back in February of this year: The Matador Club founder (TT NIL Collective) and major Texas Tech booster Cody Campbell (former TT football player) has sold his oil and natural gas company. Double Eagle has been bought by Diamondback Energy for...

Well, here were the numbers as of February, and there must have been multiple coaching contract updates to move PJ's rank to 11th based on where things stood in February. Back in Feb, there wasn't a massive disparity between 5th and 11th at this kind of money and if you want to talk getting to...

Read this article on the Iowa QB situation and tell me that Kirk loves the new landscape of college football. https://www.si.com/college/iowa/football/former-iowa-hawkeyes-standout-commit-cash-herrera-lands-with-indiana-hoosier Despite all the things they do well, they have been abysmal at...

Best of luck to him as those are great goals, but I'd be interested in a follow-up after the season. It's easy to fit that all in during the off season, but once camps starts I'd be interested to see if he can even make time to do cardio once a day compared to twice. Then as the season gets...

Right now, the fact that Petersohn left Happy Valley this weekend without committing to PSU was a win for Minny, just like Voss and Bama. I think seeing the energy around the team and having another top MN kid in Voss commit only improves our chances.

For Gopher football fans/addicts like everyone on this site in the off-season, Roman's commitment alone made this a great MN sports day. However, the second thing that put a smile on my face was after clicking on the 247 Team rankings and seeing Minny move up to #14, I also had to take a gander...

If Roman is committed to being a TE and Drake also ascends to the level of QB many think he can, then I think Roman has the measurables and skillset to be that Tyler Warren type talent for MN. If that were to happen and MN also has recently recruited RB Estrada in the backfield, it could be fun...

I think everyone has hit on one of his best points in that he is a very willing tackler, which can be a hard thing to teach if that physicality doesn't come naturally. Yet, we saw him several times come up aggressively and challenge the RB one-on-one. I think it can be easier to teach cover...

Final thought, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree that the seedings had no impact. I think the Year 1 seedings led to the number of large blowouts in the first two rounds. The result is that the way Nielsen measures things is the lack of sustained viewership during games does impact the...

There may have been a drop-off in the CFP Semifinal ratings, but that was largely driven by a flawed seeding process that was driven by a lot of politics in Year 1. However, in year 2 they will be addressing that seeding issue, resulting in much better match-ups in round 2 and likely fewer...

I think you're pretty close. Right now we sit at 209.20 pts in the 247 rankings. Using last year's rankings as a measuring stick. If we didn't add another point, that 209.20 would have put us in 38th place in last year's rankings.

Peter Burns and guys like Paul Finebaum have largely become jokes as mouthpieces for the SEC and their contract with ESPN. The reason there is so much talking going on with the SEC is that they are desperately trying to generate clicks and drive volume on their platforms. Right now ESPN/ABC is...

Weaver is one of those kids that MN going to have to develop/build. He's got the height and I'm assuming he has some speed, but now they're going to need to take the next 2 yrs putting 25-30 lbs of quality muscle on him. Hopefully he then he maintains that speed and he's obviously a smart kid as...

It should be interesting in the next few hours to see if they can get a commit from one of the two TX RBs (Estrada & Rowden). I think they would prefer Estrada, but I'm sure they want to come out of the weekend with at least one of the two. Then, I'm sure Harbaugh & Fleck will be working the...
