The biggest thing about being ranked #18 this time is that normally we are ranked in this spot having 20 commits and everyone else has only 8 commits. Now we are surrounded by programs with the same number of commits and a lot of the big schools have classes that are similar in size. I know...

This is a fair review. Trust in PJ but no data to say he can or cannot compete at this level. I get 4 and 5 star QB's get benefit of doubt but typically people have seen them against top end talent to get the 4 and 5 star. Lindsay has a lot to prove. As Gophers fan we know 3 weeks in he...

My guess is after another successful season Fleck will look for jobs, not to actually leave, but to propel the admiration to make deeper commitments to football. If they don't dig deeper then he might leave, but I think it will be up to the admin to keep him hear. I truly believe Fleck want...

I went through and read the other comments for other coaches and going to be honest -- this comment is probably the biggest amount of "shade" someone threw onto someone else. While most comments seemed complimentary with the occasional slight, this one was the only "aggressive" slight in the...

I am so thankful Urban and I see eye to eye - 5 B1G schools have a shot at the playoffs - OSU, Oregon, Penn State, Illinois and Minnesota. I would add Michigan, Indiana and Iowa as outside shot candidates.

Reasons for Optimism: Minnesota brought in an experienced backup that many considered to be not great, but a serviceable QB with P4 experience who could not last in our QB room. Plus, during the Spring transfer portal we actually brought in a handful of quality transfers, meaning we had the...

This is about how do we create a system where college programs can pay "student/athletes" $30 million out of the schools athletic budgets and still continue to give the schools what they have been getting. Sure some programs won't be able to keep up, but the top 2 and the second 2 conferences...

I give the Badger writer credit - this is a interest/hard group to rank and a interesting take. However, Badgers at 4 is ridiculous. Still there really isn't a lot of great combo's here and the best combo's seem to be more about what they did elsewhere then what they have done here. In 3-5...

Since the best indicator of future performance is past performance I can only assume this year he will have these numbers if he is given 25 pass attempts a game. 300 pass attempts, 240 completions, 60 TD, 0 INTs and 3,000 yds. I feel confident in these numbers - however, I am sure an...

I am seeing a lot of "hope it sticks language on here" and it is even from myself. However it should be noted - next year we will have 3 (Cashman, Gibbons and Lindenberg) or 4 if you count Boye Maye as a OLB. All of which went to the NFL under Fleck. Because we are not a linebacker U - you...

Appreciate the commit, hope it is not an play to get more NIL. Things like this are all about character and culture. I hope the guy ends up proving to be a great fit for the U of MN. In the end, we do live in exciting times. The thought that we get a handful of recruits every year that...

If this doesn't say I am a NEbraska commit, I am not sure what does. You can't even make picking Nebraska the highlight of the selection.

Minnesota is right behind the current "Big 4" and as was mentioned before - WI, NE are missing with Iowa with only 1 person drafted. Will be intereting to see how draft unfolds for the rest of the Gopher gang.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/mock-draft/ Amazed that 4 drafts don't have Ersery in the 1st round and the one that does has him going #13 to Miami. I have a hard time believing with the proven work ethic, athletic abilities and growth in his game that he does not go towards the end of...

I feel as bad for the Badger as they felt when Bret made Brewster his *itch.
