This post is so true. The one change I would love Fleck to make is to get rid of Wenger. Our Special Teams play is horrible and has been during the entire Fleck era. We are going to have horrible games once in awhile but our special teams has been out-played in all but perhaps one game during...
Our special teams doesn't catch or return balls. They let them roll 20 years. Our defense is playing great...but we've put up with the most usless special teams coach for all these years during Fleck. Kill said special teams was 33% of the game. Fleck thinks it's 0% and we have been stuck...
I am just thrilled that Coach Johnson filled the roster for once. We've lost so much because of a lack of depth in the last two years and not having a full roster is inexcusable. Also depth creates competition...
Agree 100% and the worst of it is not recruiting 13 guys because he didn't think he could keep 13 guys happy. Injuries happen every year. First coach I've ever seen not recruit a full team.
Once players have had 4 years of college scholarships I don't think coaches need to provide another year of scholarship just because they have a year or two of eligibilty left. I do believe they need to be loyal to the kids they recruited until they've had time to get their degree.
Payne didn't have a long offer list and I think everyone thinks he's going to be great. Johnson seems to know which recruits he wants in-state. I trust his evaluations. And I have to say, he is getting Minnesota recruits every single year.
Let's hope they don't and players learn to appreciate what they have. The only way to stop this craziness is for it to not work out well for lots of the players.
Considering Mitchell is rated as a 92 transfer and Cooper is rated 89 (you can agree or disagree with the ratings but without head to head play it's what we have) I think it's a bit harsh to say Johnson got an F. We needed point guards and we got 2. Some aren't disappointed about losing...
We lose: Jamison Battle, Jaden Henley, Treyton Thompson, Ta'lon Cooper, Taurus Samuels
We gain: Mike Mitchell Jr. , Cameron Christie, Kadyn Betts, Elijah Hawkins, Isiah Ihnen, Parker Fox, Jack Wilson, Erick Reader
What we gain is much better than...
