    All Things Transfer Portal Thread

    If Lindsey came in thinking we'd roll into the 2024 season with two scholarship quarterbacks, or that a third would be happy to sign up as only a backup during his entire Gopher tenure, that's on him. I find it hard to believe Fleck would make him believe that. I think there will QBs who are...

    Video: P.J. Fleck says Gophers spring football is 'about bringing the floor up'

    I guess I don't agree it's been that bad since the new stadium opened. When the stadium is mostly full, it's typically mostly Gopher fans. Do a lot of Badger and Husker fans get in? Of course. And I admit that it seemed like a lot more of them last year (and Michigan fans). But I don't think it...

    Matt Birk: If college athletes enter the transfer portal they shouldn't be eligible for NIL money.

    In the NFL, a team would probably be punished harshly. There's not much fear of that in college.

    Strack: PJ Fleck, Gophers Managing Portal Era Talent Better than Most Big Ten Teams

    Four new portal exits for us so far this morning, so those numbers are officially old.

    Video: P.J. Fleck says Gophers spring football is 'about bringing the floor up'

    Last season was extremely disappointing, but we're not OSU and Michigan, who can reload each year or mid-season. Fleck has elevated the talent, but we'll still have a down year occasionally and I can live with that. But we need to rebound this year.

    I would say the world would've never kept up with the Kardashians had it not been for Kim's sex tape.

    How will we do with our portal additions?

    I agree. You're off topic, but I agree woth this.

    You have no idea whether he's hitting the portal hard. Neither do I.

    Spring Practice Observations

    Since PJ was an NFL wide receiver when he wasn't a social studies teacher (and he had two all-Big Ten WRs early on), the lack of game-changing receivers over the past four years is all the more disappointing.

    Payne in portal

    I think you could make the case that it has helped their football team quite a bit. They've cycled through four basketball coaches since 2006. Big money helps, but you still need the right leadership to make it work.

    Poll : Mandel states NIL era has “not been a debacle”

    I would say the NCAA's poor communication about NIL rules -- or maybe it's enforcement -- has been a debacle (in addition to free transfers). I've heard Coyle and his guy in charge of NIL, not to mention Derek Burns of Dinkytown Athletes, say multiple times that NIL is not supposed to be for...

    NO SPRING GAME! Gophers start spring practice March 21; open practice for the public is April 11

    Brosmer is sitting out as a precaution for ... what? He'd have the red jersey on so he doesn't get hit. Why would the new presumptive starting QB sit out?

    NO SPRING GAME! Gophers start spring practice March 21; open practice for the public is April 11

    I've seen some people on Twitter outraged by this, and others who are mocking those people. Our group likes to go, as long as it's above 40 degrees and not raining. No game? We'll survive. But it sure seems like a missed marketing opportunity. I know we don't fill the stadium for this, but it's...
