SirPaul “Sweet” Cheeks is really fast. There are some great rb prospects visiting including Cheeks and three composite 4 stars in Estrada, Rowden & Ferguson. Also, Tompkins 3 star has Gophers in final 3. We have Bates from PA already and probably will take one maybe two more. It’s looking very good.

Yeah looks very fast in his hudl videos. Estrada also looks quite fast and Rowden and Ferguson were no slouches. Rowden looked very physical as well. Tompkins was definitely less speedy, but he’s 6’1” 227 pounds, he actually looked pretty good playing linebacker as well.

Gophers football enters key recruiting stretch, hoping for another big ‘Summer Splash’​

Over the next three weeks, Fleck will await his own figurative white smoke moments as the Gophers host two “Summer Splash” recruiting weekends. Close to 40 high school seniors-to-be will make their official visits to Minnesota and receive their recruiting pitches from Fleck, his staff and current players.

Ten recruits already have verbally committed to the Gophers, and Fleck will try to run that number into the low 20s this weekend and June 13-15. And when a recruit pledges to Minnesota, Fleck has a smoke sign of sorts. He’ll send a bat signal on the X social media platform.

Fleck is pushing hard to land two of the best players in Minnesota in the 2026 recruiting class: Jackson County Central High School athlete Roman Voss, the top-ranked player in the state, according to Prep Redzone, and Triton High School athlete Pierce Petersohn, the fourth-ranked player in the state by Prep Redzone.

Voss projects as a tight end, while Petersohn is targeted as a linebacker, and both will visit campus this weekend. Two other highly ranked in-state players who’ve pledged to the Gophers will visit June 13: Rocori offensive tackle Andrew Trout, ranked No. 2 in Minnesota, and Forest Lake defensive lineman Howie Johnson, ranked No. 3 in the state. Voss, Petersohn and Trout are four-star recruits in the 247Sports composite, and Johnson is a high three-star.

Go Gophers!!
 



Worth noting with summer splash, may be a little different from the tons of commits in years past that commit on Sunday/Monday. We're in a different bracket of recruits now with lots of visits set up after us as well to big schools. I still think we're going to get some commits here, but not as many immediately as years past.

Good point, but I'm still hoping they get 4-5 commitments this weekend.

Looks like it was just at a graduation ceremony for Wayzata High School, not seeing any reports of injuries at this point. Being a graduate and knowing the timeframe, this seems like it happened at the end of the ceremony when students were getting on busses to their post-party and parents were leaving.

Edit: As seen below, 2 shot, hadn't seen that.

Shots get fired at the end of graduation ceremonies? I've never seen or heard that before

Recruits were off campus at the time of the shooting. Still not good, but at least they weren't able to see any of the stupidity here.
 

This crap happens all over the country. Unfortunately, most recruits are used to it just as all are.

Wasn't there myself and this is all anecdotal, but in speaking to a couple of people who attended the graduation, they thought that the shooter and the younger victim were engaged in a dispute of some kind and were not participants in or attendees at the graduation. Ceremony was over and most of the students had already left. Older victim was hit by a stray and not an intended target or involved in the dispute in any way.
