Athlon: Ranking the Big Ten's Football Rosters for 2016 (12. Minnesota)

[BleedGopher]

Athlon ranks us ahead of Illinois and Purdue.

Interim Concerns
Despite pockets of historical success, it’s hard to win at Minnesota and Illinois in the modern recruiting era. And elevating interim coaches to full-time positions isn’t normally the way to go about building a program. Bill Cubit feels like a stop gap at Illinois and Tracy Claeys doesn’t bring a lot of upside to the table in Minneapolis. Both may be excellent coordinators but both will have to prove themselves in a big way on the recruiting trail before new athletic directors get to town.

For the sake of continued increases in 'Ticket Prices', 'Mandatory Donations' or whatever you want to call it- they better play better than 12th.

It's a good thing it's free, the level of analysis in the article, is worth what you paid for it!

I would probably put us at about 8th. just a shear gut shot guess.

 

[Dilemina]

For an article about ranking our roster, they did a pretty poor job of mentioning any word at all about the roster.

If we finish 12th, there needs to be a serious discussion about taking this program off life support.
