Per: Daniel House Player development will be key for many areas of the Gophers roster. One of those spots is at cornerback. Throughout the spring, Minnesota has regularly cycled through a range of younger options to evaluate their strengths/weaknesses. My eyes are on true freshman Naiim...

I agree with mngg11’s comment about the defensive line. If those guys can consistently pressure the quarterback, the defensive backs should be in a solid position to succeed. We all know Bryan is locked in as a day-one starter, but the competition for the other starting spot and the third DB...

What are you talking about? Today is the first day the Gophers are going full pads. What's so smart about that?

You must be really bored!

Today is the first day of full pads!

No, they were just doing 1v1's. Lineup and go against the next person up.

I like the idea, but I also think it increases the chances of players getting hurt. The same concern applies when facing your own teammates, but the risk is even higher against other teams that have nothing to lose by injuring opposing players.

Honestly, I’d be shocked if he stays committed. There are still about nine months until signing day, and with the kind of NIL deals other schools are offering, someone is bound to throw him an offer too good for him and his family to turn down. Keep an eye on Vanderbilt—they’re handing out...

I disagree with that comment. There's not a huge difference between open practice and the Spring Game. The biggest distinction lies in the number of plays run and the presence of live quarters. If you're trying to identify potential starters for the upcoming season, open practices provide that...

It’s true that he was considered, but Rutgers doesn’t have the financial resources that Miami does, and they weren’t willing to cover the $600,000 buyout.

I wouldn’t have any issue working under someone who’s dedicated to shaping young men into responsible citizens and strong individuals. When was the last time you heard about a player who spent 3-5 years under Fleck making headlines for the wrong reasons? If it has happened, it’s rare. The...

My sources indicate that Corey Hetherman wanted out even before Miami’s head coach made the call. While he did a great job as our defensive coordinator, he never fully embraced the culture at UM. It’s well known that PJ holds both his players and coaching staff to exceptionally high standards...

Fleck granted Miami's head coach permission to speak with Heatherman. If you know Fleck, you know he never stands in the way of his players or coaches advancing their careers or securing better financial opportunities. The hiring process moved quickly, and Danny Collins is now the new defensive...

Let’s just say I have a very reliable inside source. Unless the kid publicly speaks out, the chances of hearing this elsewhere are pretty slim. But I can assure you, those numbers are legit.

I heard Ijeboi is looking really good.
