6th commit

[Rickman55]

in 24 hours he gets 6 recruits and add a 7th by convincing Conor Rhoda to stay...he took his "MAC-level" recruits to 13-0 and the Cotton Bowl. Imagine what he can do with our team....Claey's team only once played really inspired football...in the Holiday Bowl. Fleck's team played inspired football all year long. We will rock.

We have moved from number 68 in the Rivals Recruiting Rankings to 48!

John Michael Schmitz. OG with offers from Louisville, Cincinnati and others.

Too close to John David Stutts for my comfort level.

True but Fleck has only been here about 24 hours. Not sure what some expect. Did we expect 5 star recruits overnight? The reality is that this recruiting class will not be impressive from a ranking standpoint. Fleck first has to assemble a staff and then simply do the best he can in the last couple of weeks before signing day. That probably isn't long enough to go out an recruit highly ranked players to Minnesota when those same players have been recruited for months by other staffs. This class, from a ranking standpoint, is lacking because of the poor efforts of Clayes. If Fleck can simply fill out the rest of this class with 3 star guys in positions of need we will be fortunate. His real test will be the next recruiting cycle. That is where we can really judge him.

My point is maybe we shouldn't be excited for yet more MAC players.

We were basically getting MAC level recruits anyway. Name any other program that got 6 commits in a 24 hours during a dead period. These guys are committed to Fleck and want to be part of his culture. I'll take it.

How often do Big Ten programs get used as stepping stones?

the ones with dysfunctional administrations, an internal culture of hatred for football that is led by a man without morals or integrity? All the time, assuming they aren't consumed by the culture and their careers ended.......

The latter is far more common, and there are several examples trolling the lower rungs of DI football today who suffered just that.

He was asking for specific examples in the big ten of coaches leaving for better jobs. Not just a general statement about why coaches leave DI schools for better jobs.

Damn, some of you folks need to log off gopherhole and read a book or get some kind of hobby.

I'm just fine with the upper end MAC recruits from a 13-1 team. He beat 2 out of three B1G teams this year. Late in the recruiting season to go after the next level recruit. Next year it is different. This year, it meets reasonable expectations.
