I believe that’s where Ethan Robinson came from as well.

I’m guessing one of the guys listed as a safety plays the slot. Maybe Gousby given he played some CB this year?

Carrier getting PT would be huge. He seems like the heir apparent to Baranowski.

Don’t forget about Gousby at S. Adding a starting caliber OL, DT and potentially TE would be huge.

Times sure have changed since Maurice Clarett. Although given your points, the NCAA rules are probably more in danger than the NFL. There’s no CBA in college and it only takes one kid that isn’t good enough to play in the NFL but good enough to still play in the NCAA to challenge the...

Good points here but I wonder if the NFL rule could potentially be in jeopardy given the current atmosphere around sports.

Yeah, but those requirements are significantly higher and occur due to perceived decline in ability, competency, and safety etc. None of those things are true for an able bodied 22-24 year old. It’s an especially tough argument when they get pushed out of the NCAA and can go play in a pro...

Now that these players are getting paid, do they have a claim that their ability to earn should not be hindered by arbitrary eligibility rules? What other profession says you have to stop working here after x number of years even if you are still capable of performing the work?

It’s probably fair to say that none of them lived up to their potential while at MN. Debating whether they had varying degrees of minimal impact is probably futile.

Yes, in Wright’s case, I believe it was 35 catches and 3 TDs in 2 years.

Wright showed flashes but if I remember correctly, he also had complete and total boneheaded moments.

Gopher WRs isn’t exactly the most illustrious list. If you have to go past 74 receivers before getting to his name, that probably isn’t a good sign.

Very good first weekend for the team. It seems 1 more starter quality OL and DT are needed. Everything else will be icing on the cake.

The cynic in me worries that this addition won’t work out given their track record of adding previously highly rated WRs with little success at their first school. Hopefully, I’ll be proven wrong this time.

That is one I was hoping wouldn’t leave town. I know he was D2 but Iowa does know a couple things about DBs.

That seems like a good start for rebuilding the DTs.

Besides the upside, I wonder if part of the idea with Warren is balancing OL classes. However, I still feel like adding a player like Warren is one of the bigger risks in taking a player through the portal. Big upside, little film. Whereas, if they are trying to improve the team for this...

I’m in that same boat and hope they still pick up that type of guy. However, if they see an opportunity to supplement HS recruiting by taking a highly ranked underclassman through the portal, that’s probably an acceptable approach.

III is right. Jr. is 72 and a retired NFL special teams coach.

I guess we will find out soon enough on Warren. They need to hit on the OL transfers this year. Taking a guy like Warren with little experience increases the risk of a bust. I hope he’s as good as the HS rating suggests. The Oklahoma offer is definitely a good data point in his favor. Only...
