Love to see Brosmer drafted on day 3. Who was the last Gopher QB drafted (in the 7 round draft)? Have we had one?

College football is getting close now to the old philosophical argument whether anarchy is unchecked chaos or simply a different form of order.

SNAFU

... if man is still alive.

Coming out of HS, this guy is listed, per the Gophers, as 5' 9.5" and 210 lbs. Coming out of HS, Mo was listed on 247 at 5'9" 178 lbs. NFL draft records have Mo, after his final year with the Gophers, at 5'8", 203 lbs. This guy, coming out of HS, is a lot more powerfully built than Mo was...

There is some hint in the news that this was a revenue sharing contract (anticipating a settlement in the House lawsuit), not an NIL contract. That would give the University standing as a party. If an NIL contract instead, the University’s standing to withhold a transfer seems more indirect (if...

My eyes must have read "Fleck" for "Kill"! Funny how I sometimes gloss over words in favor of presumed content, misreading to humorous results. I guess I should have noted that this string was begun in 2011! No harm, no foul.

Looks like portal is a dead letter. Per NCAA all you have to do is unenroll? https://www.on3.com/news/xavier-lucas-withdraws-from-wisconsin-enrolls-miami-without-entering-transfer-portal-ncaa/

The plot thickens. This could be one heck of a ground-breaking lawsuit. Can a scholarship player transfer AND retain immediate playing eligibility without ever entering the portal? If yes, the portal might be a dead letter.

I think you are right. Media reports are that the WI collective signed Lucas to a $500K NIL deal. If the collective paid him, say, 40% up front (or more), and the day after he got the money he tried to put his name in the transfer portal, then WI is taking the bullet for a lot of teams. How...

No. And that's OK. The University and our boosters esteem the players and team, but not the way the universities and boosters at tOSU, Michigan, Oregon, USC, Penn State and Michigan do. The monetary hurdle is simply to great to overcome. It isn't a Minnesota thing to try to spend more than the...

If Danny has the right players, he'll be up to speed very soon. If he doesn't have the right players, it'll be a learning curve.

PJ mentions Nuke a lot. We've got a lot of options for next year, but need a few guys to take the reins and run.

Bryson is from Waynesville, NC, just west of Asheville. He spent his last two years of HS at a boarding school in northern Georgia. He and his family, however, live in North Carolina. I hate to see him leave. But UNC is a lot closer to home. And he'd be fighting to see the field (with the...

Illinois is a huge school with lots of wealthy alums. Why would we be double?

I think we will find that Drake has some physical tools, such as a strong downfield arm, that Max didn't have. Maybe with his size, Drake could be a credible run threat once in a while, too. He's as big as Riley Leonard, who's QB runs have kept ND from elimination in two straight CFP games...

Coleman and Williams both have time to develop ...

I think Gerlach is as big as Henderson ... maybe bigger.

A lot of GHers attributed our less than stellar rushing game this year to poor OL play. This might be true, of course. But I think an element of our running game's difficulty was that we had no deep passing threat. The Gophs didn't throw many deep balls--probably a combination of no dependable...

He’s not bad. He’s very strong and a good blocker—which counts in PJ’s offense. Can catch the ball. Not great at getting separation in man coverage. His value as a receiver lies in scheme.
