Love to see it! Another very successful player development story. He’ll almost certainly get drafted, make some money in the NFL, then have his degree to use as he chooses.

Fleck and Co been singing his praises since freshman year…and they weren’t wrong. Kid has been a rock over at LT. Flying under the radar of most (other than NFL scouts), which is exactly what you hope for at that position.

I know nothing about this kid, but I’m a little surprised a guy with 1 year to play would come in to compete w/ arguably the best RB in the B1G, a transfer from Oklahoma, and the rest of that room. Maybe 3rd down and short yardage opportunities? Or perhaps he’s banking on similar injury...

Wow, what an article! Thanks for sharing! The Rudy comparisons are all too easy, but the parallels are obvious. Severely undersized kid with a dream does whatever it takes to make the team at a major D1 program, including working out near the team facilities on his own, introducing himself to...

Would you guys rather he NOT list Minnesota in the top 7 to protect your emotions if he goes elsewhere? Personally, I'm glad that most of the top local talent keeps MN on their list until the bitter end, even if they choose to attend elsewhere. Of course, there are many examples of them...

He's shown up to a few practices IIRC. Not sure many former players (especially those who are busy with an NFL career) are doing much more than that, but it seems like PJ has stayed connected with guys like him, Bateman, Coughlin, etc.

BUmped to a 4* at On3 in case folks don’t wanna click the link.

Without looking at any schedules, I’m feeling the UNDER on Indiana, Maryland, and MSU. OVER on Iowa, Minnesota, and OSU. I’d hold off on the others. Yeah the “vig”, or cut the house takes, is way too big on these. Makes sense because it’s VERY early and hard to predict these things, so the...

Minnesota will not go 2-10 (0-9) Minnesota will not be an underdog in every B1G game at kickoff Nobody knows how Minnesota will do next year Very possible they don’t make a bowl game Very possible they’re much better than they were in ‘23

Agree with this. These kids aren’t stupid, so if somebody was in his ear saying he’d be a day 1 pick this year, he’d be gone. He does seem like an NFL player given the consistent praise from both the staff and PFF, so I’d be surprised if he doesn’t make it next year.

Fleck has been saying Ersery was a big time, NFL-level talent since before he was a starter. Been a great anchor of the line for a couple years and it’s nice to see external data validating that.

There it is! Only reason I click into a Jerry Kill thread. Thank you!

I only pay attention to Clint Brewster’s ratings, so HMU when those come out. He nailed Athan at 14 last year, lol

Michigan is dominating up front on both sides. They’re going to win unless they make a few more critical errors a la the fumbled punt. Bama is a good 2nd half team though, so it’ll be interesting to see whether Michigan keeps up with any adjustments Bama made. Great game. I’m happy to see it.

Gotta love Smith still rockin’ Gophers gear while doing charity work for the Bears!

For those who won’t/didn’t watch, it’s Brian Cupito. Moved back to the cities and settled in Minneapolis 4 years ago. Coaching football and basketball at Phelps Community Center so his kids can experience life in the city. His FB team apparently won a big national tournament in Vegas last year...

Pop Tarts marketing team NAILED this, lol. That whole game atmosphere was surrounded by the “edible mascot” and the best kind of kitsch. The giant toaster, haha…I just can’t.

You forgot one: Backup RB gets a carry and either fumbles or fails to convert on short yardage and GH is livid Taylor wasn’t in the game. Seriously though, as others have said above, Fleck did NOT do this early in his tenure here or as recently as ‘21. IMO, Mo (and now Taylor) have messed up...

This. Watched with my dad and was texting my brother the whole time. It’s another opportunity to connect and enjoy what we love. Others have said it here, but football is always better than no football in my book.

100%. NFL has always been about measurables, and Nubin has most of those in spades with the exception of blow-you-away speed. That said, I think the success of guys like Kyle Hamilton and Winfield will help demonstrate that an instinctual guy with experience playing around the box but slightly...
