I remember seeing so much talk about when Fleck would get his first 5 star. A lot of people thought we’d have to wait on another Joe Mauer type kid.
Well fleck went into another state, the one of the CFB champs, and got a kid who blew up and still stuck with MN. No major ties, no insane NIL...
This with the Marshall transfer and the young DT talent we have is really exciting. Plus all the DEs we retained will make this a truly strong area of the team. It’ll be up to coaching to make the most of it but I’m becoming the most excited I have since 2019.
Gassed up to think we could have 10+ combinations of legit pass rushing threats on the DL at any given point in time. LB/DB looks solidified. On the O I like the OT we got but 1 more would be nice. Otherwise I think we’re set every at every other position.
Except for TE/iDL. Yet these are the...
It’s fairly common from what I’ve seen, it just may be called something different or lumped into another title. I don’t think it’s an official title but I’ve also seen coaches referred to as Joker, Bandit, Sniper, etc coach, and that’s objectively more dumb than rush end.
From what I can tell we hired him away from Stanford. Isn’t that kind of crazy for him to take, on paper, a step down? Stanford is a historic ACC school, the guy also seemed to be moderately successful. Did they decide to go a different route and it was mutual?
The names/recognition attached...
With Driver/Lyons out that leaves Smith, Tracy, Coleman, Nuke, and Martino as guys that can return. I thought we had way more WR on the roster. This is a pretty good core in my eyes though. Maybe one of the t-fr can show something and they grab another WR in the portal.
Campbell to PSU seems locked up. I hope it means that ISU-MN pipeline gets cutoff. Could also mean that he takes that with him and is bolstered by ridiculous PSU money.
What I don’t understand about players in this situation is that if they want to play at P4 Kollock, in this instance, will have to go as a QB2 or into an “open competition”. Had he stayed here for another year he could’ve been the #2 and stayed in a program he knows. I get he can find a...
