Four years of eligibility, I assume?

You are correct. I mis-typed: I meant TE not DE. I fixed it. Good catch.

Walsh and Johnson are ready, I think. Johnson appears to be very athletic and has seen the field on STs a lot. Maybe Voss comes in ready to play (although PJ expects some size and a lot of blocking skill from TEs). That, together with the transfer, gives us some real talent, I agree--just a bit...

Because he walked, I have been counting him as gone. But you never know ...

Omonode has a lot of playing experience--played lots of snaps for three years at Purdue. Quick, leverag-type guy--like our old favorite Richardson. Hope he is healthy this coming season. We will need him...

Still would like another experienced DT. We lost a lot of experience there. Wild card for me is Mo Omonode, who played a lot of snaps at Purdue, I believe, before transferring here. Turns out Omonode was injured (might not have been candid with Gopher staff?) and never played a snap in 2025. He...

Not applicable, obviously, to anybody who is extroverted and thick-skinned enough to be a regular participant on GHole, but here is a little riddle (it's an old one): How can you tell whether your tax preparer is an extrovert? He's staring at your shoes.

A little bit ...

Didn't he go to Eden Prairie HS?

Accounted for Helms, TE, from Oklahoma.

Instantly becomes most experienced TE on roster … but I still want Dehnicke, too!

IMHO, we still really need an experienced TE from the portal. Of the 7 current TEs expected to be on the 2026 roster (3 are incoming FR), there are a total of 3 catches for 22 yards in 2025. Pierce Walsh has 2 for 17 and Julian Johnson has 1 for 5. That's it. That's not enough for a season in...

Because of the large HS class (31 signees) plus a transfer class up to 12 members, the Gophers are now very near a full roster of 105. We still need an experienced TE and another experienced DT. I suspect that, before the portal closes on Jan. 20th, we might see a few more rostered players hit...

Added Robbins, P, from Utah State and Bush, Edge, from Cal.

Still need an experienced TE.
