per Chip:
Recruiting requires energy and urgency. Many recruits love to have their egos stroked, or be sold on their value to a program. The best recruiters are relentless in their message.
The Gophers program has long prided itself on uncovering hidden gems and trying to coach them up to the Big Ten level. That approach certainly produces success stories, but nothing trumps talent.
Player development should always be a fundamental mission. But finding better talent as a starting point will be essential in Fleck’s quest to elevate his program.
“It’s going to take national recruits,” he said. “It’s going to take a lot of players to break a trend and a cycle. A lot.”
Fleck’s first task after signing his first class was to call recruits in the next two classes. That’s how it should be. Recruiting never sleeps.
