    Andrew Trout, 2026, 6'6" offensive tackle commits to Gophers!

    Rocori has a great program. Has produced a lot of college players at all levels of play. In addition to Eric Decker, Rick Bell played at St. John's and one year with the Vikings. He was an absolute beast. for the Johnnies.

    Shooter: Pro scouts aren’t impressed with the slinging throwing motion of Rutgers-bound QB Athan Kaliakmanis, the ex-Gopher.

    Agree. There's the old Phil Jackson (he of awkward jump shot) quote: "They don't ask 'How?' They ask 'How many?'" That works at a level and no one can argue with Penix' results since he transferred to Washington, but the low release point has to be noted by the scouts. I'm no pro scout, but...

    Who’s EXCITED to watch Rashod today?

    Kansas City had a great defensive strategy yesterday. Couldn't tell if they put a spy on Jackson, but they sure messed up his ability to check-down (which he isn't particulary good at anyway).

    Who’s EXCITED to watch Rashod today?

    His performance to date has been somewhat disappointing, but I think it's too early to call him a bust. Jackson is supremely talented, but it can't be easy for a young receiver to constantly make adjustments when Jackson goes on the move. Note that Beckham, Jr., and Agholor are veterans...

    Who’s EXCITED to watch Rashod today?

    Zay Flowers probably sitting all by himself. Great game yardage wise, but the taunt/fumble loom pretty large in the whole scheme of things. Credit KC with a good defensive strategy.

    Gaelin Elmore

    Somerset, Wisconsin, is listed as his hometown on his Gopher bio, but he was in the foster care system for much of his youth, so he moved around a bit. Here's a link to his website. He does a lot of work with schools and non-profits that deal with youth. Gaelin Speaks Website

    2014 to 2016. Moved from TE to DE where he was a steady performer. Started 9 games over three seasons with the Gophers. Transferred to East Carolina for his senior season after the coaching change from Kill to Fleck.

    2023-2024 College Football Coaches Hired/Fired Thread

    One can never tell, but Moore has done a good job as Michigan OC and led the team well with Harbaugh away from the sidelines. Moore is facing a big challenge with a huge number of key players graduating from or leaving the national championship team. That said, Michigan was kind of painted...

    I was at a conference this week and the keynote speaker was the President of the National Assocation of School Psychologists (NASP). When she was going through her presentation, she came to a slide advertising the keynote speaker at the upcoming NASP national conference. It will be none other...

    ESPN: Sources: Jim Harbaugh accepts head coaching job with Chargers

    Plus, he'll be able to ditch the faux Cajun accent.

    ESPN: Sources: Jim Harbaugh accepts head coaching job with Chargers

    I think he'll do just fine with the players. Thing I've noticed the last couple of seasons is that the pro players seem just as immature as the college players. They'll buy Harbaugh's schtick.

    Best players to turn down the 2024 NFL Draft by position 👀

    PFF has always pretty much liked the Gophers when it comes to their ratings. That said, I think Ersery is the real deal. He impressed me from the get-go with his athleticism and footwork. Still a year to go before the 2025 draft, but if he stays healthy I think he's at least a Day 2 guy.

    Miami TE Cam McCormick granted ninth year of eligibility

    Depends on how many times a player gets injured, I guess. Seriously, this keeps up and he'll just head straight in to collecting social security,

    I think Fife backed out because Juanita down at the diner decided to go to a different school.

    Antoine Winfield Jr. named NFC defensive player of the month

    The thing that I noticed about Winfield from the get-go is he has the stuff that really can't be taught. He just has impeccable football instincts. His recognition skills are off the charts. Add hard work to that and you have yourself a ballplayer. Kudos on his recognition. Deserves all...

    Jerry Kill gets job at Vanderbilt.

    Insightful post. Thanks for putting it up. I think the thing with Kill is that he has always been hyper-competitive but at the same time has this chip on his shoulder that just seems to get bigger and bigger. Some folks play contract bridge. Jerry plays full-contact bridge. The ever-growing...
