    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Came as a preferred W/O, I think. Saw field a lot; more in 2023 (w/ all the LB injuries) than 2024. Not sure if he was ever a scholarship player. Deserved to be, but the math is tough.

    Transfer portal

    Lot of quality players from Arkansas team entering the portal. Wonder what's up?

    All Things 2024/25 College Football Transfer Portal Thread

    Only a sophomore. Already has slightly better numbers--earned in the B1G--than Marcus Major did after 4 years, I believe. Seems like a good chance to take!

    Former Mr. football Emmett Johnson in the portal.

    Emmett Johnson fits current Gopher RB mode: He is an effective, hard-nosed runner and has a lot of quality receptions out of the backfield. Very good receiver. Finishing up his sophomore season in the B1G and easily at the Marcus Major level, IMHO. Would have another year of eligibility after...

    Gophers offseason: signing day recap, who should they target in the transfer portal?

    Number 1 rated player in Arkansas his Senior year. Rated 134th best player in nation: 94, high four star. Not real big (5'11'), but great speed and skills. Kind of receiver who can take the top off a defense? We really need one of those, esp. if our QB can sling it deep (as Lindsay appears able...

    Transfer portal

    AK essentially didn't play his senior season in HS, if I recall--a developmental setback, even for someone with a great arm. Lindsay, on the other hand, played his senior year and put up crazy good stats. He was dominant. I suspect his development path is better than AK's. I'd sure like to see...

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    That’s two highly-rated MAC RB transfers in a row that haven’t panned out.

    Has Minnesota Surpassed Wisconsin?

    We haven't surpassed the Badgers in coach buyout numbers. PJ's is supposedly $26-27 Million. Fickell's buyout, per a few Badger sources, is in the $40 Million range. The greatest security a HC has nowadays isn't winning, it's his buyout number--except I suppose at few select helmet schools...

    Official 2025 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    There is a lot of experience and talent--multiple year starters--on the OOE roster. Next year might be a development year unless PJ frees up several more roster spots and has a high ROI on seasoned transfer portal players. Too bad the Gophs underperformed in the UNC and Rutgers games, and made...

    How does anyone compete with this NIL power?

    And professional golf. “Sports Washing” is a real thing.

    Jalen Logan-Redding is coming back for one more season

    Logan-Redding gives position versatility, too, I think.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT RUTGERS "THIS GAME IS PERSONAL" QB BATTLE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Please play Majors on this drive. Takes a lot of mistakes to lose to Rutgers. We’re on schedule. Lot of mistakes.

    I’d be OK with giving g DT a seat for the 4thQ. Majors, Manghan and Nubin healthy might be more effective than a tentative DT playing hurt.

    Why take the chance of a screw up? Blocked punt, run back? It was a decent result … Ok to take it.

    Don’t like DT running plays at this point. He clearly not at 100%.
