Wow, super excited about this pickup! In the era of decommits, portal, NIL, etc., he just seems very level-headed and relieved to have made a decision. Already talking about how glad he is to have committed early to he can focus on his senior season and start recruiting other 2026 players to...

I wish him luck and a life free of “what if”. Hope he finds a passion for something besides football. Folks in this thread haven’t been too hard on him, but can anyone argue he wouldn’t have been better off staying at Minnesota? That wasn’t the last year the backfield faced major injury issues.

Bummer to hear the game didn’t go well for Max, but the week of practice is more important in these all star games anyway — and the buzz was evident. Lot happens between now and May, but I’d be surprised if Max doesn’t get selected late.

Love this. It’s the fun but in-depth analysis that keeps me visiting GH in January. It sure ain’t the hot coach and “way too early” rankings that include Nebraska lol

I thought it was a little low as well, but as was the case in the B1G this year, I don’t think there’s a lot of separation between some of these programs. Minnesota proved they could hang with just about any team in the country. They also proved they could lose to pretty much any bowl team...

Man, I feel good about the program as a whole, but there are SO many unknowns on O next year. You pretty much only know what you’re getting out of DT — and that’s it. Burns speculated that JOhnson may not even play C next year, so you could have 5 new starters on the OL, a new QB (obviously)...

Great success story. IIRC, he was in the doghouse with Kill for various reasons early in his career but obviously turned things around, had a great career, and has apparently gone on to become a great coach. Congrats to him!

I tend to lean in that direction. MN has retained most of their high level talent the past few years while managing to attract some transfers which tells me their NIL is more than sufficient. Obviously the culture Fleck has built helps with that, but you can’t tell me that at least 1-2 guys...

I’ve seen a lot of outrage about this online, but it seems like a non-story to me. It’s very likely the entire staff and team knew this would happen and was glad to have him out there at all.

Hmmm…I’m seeing the exact opposite: that it opened at 4.5 and is now 7.5 pretty much everywhere. Did you see 4.5 again last night?

Not that it matters much because I’ll revel in Wisconsin’s misery regardless of circumstance, the buzz I’ve seen on Reddit is that this kid signed an NIL deal with Wisconsin in early-Dec but then got contacted by Miami and asked to enter the portal. Collective and staff were blindsided and...

Just read the short article by Burns. Ray has been a swing OL but mostly played RG during his time at WV and Kentucky. This will be his last year of eligibility. If the two transfer tackles win those jobs and Johnson holds down C, you’d probably expect Ray, Beers, Lewis, and Nelson to compete...

Yeah, I heard this as well and thought it was so contrived and slanted. This was less about the B1G being weak/overrated and more about how unfair and random the scheduling will be in an 18 team league. I mean, I really hadn’t considered exactly how weak IU’s schedule was until this morning...

Wow that would be a big (literally) signing. Started 4 games at LT and has 3 years of eligibility left. Apparently had an Alabama offer from his former HC, DeBoer. Had offers from Oregon, USC, Washington, etc out of HS. PJ (and DTA) have crushed the portal the last couple years.

Holy crap, Nebraska and Purdue. Those ratios ain’t looking great.
