Different Vibe

You can definitely see the shift over the last 5 years in how the top in-state recruits view the program.
I think it took awhile for Fleck to really build up the in-state connections, but he appears a bridge has been crossed and we'll be in the hunt for the best in-state players going forward. I know that a lot of the high school coaching contingent really loved (and I mean LOVED) Jerry Kill and Fleck is an entirely different animal. I think Fleck has shown everyone that he knows how to both coach and promote and he's not simply a compendium of corny acronyms.

I know my coach at MVL (Minnesota Valley Lutheran) loved Kill, but after the first coach's clinic with PJ & Kirk he told me, " This is on another level... the Gophers are going to be great to watch."
