Per Greg:
Smith's take: FACT. I was very prepared to go with fiction here, but I’m not sure people outside of Minneapolis realize the Gophers have won at least nine games in three of the last four seasons. That solid foundation - plus this class - could have P. J. Fleck’s crew competing for a Big Ten championship.
There are several players to like in this class, starting with offensive lineman Nathan Roy. The Wisconsin native was a huge pickup for the team. One sleeper to watch in the class is running back Ohifame Ijeboi out of Philly. His recruitment was starting to take off when the Gophers got him on campus for an official visit and won his pledge.
The other thing that would give me hope is that Minnesota has done such a terrific job so far this cycle keeping top talent home. I don’t think this class finishes the rankings in the top 10 where they sit now, but we are going to look back at this class as a gigantic one for the Gophers.
Williams' take: FACT. Minnesota's 2024 class currently ranks 10th in the country with 23 total commitments. That's a great trend for a program that wants to remain on its upward trend.
This recruiting cycle, Fleck and his staff have done an exceptional job of landing the best talent in-state, which includes defensive end Jide Abasiri (No. 1 in-state), defensive tackle Mo Saine (No.3 in-state), and safety Koi Perich (No. 5 in-state) to go along with the likes of cornerback Simon Seidl, wide receiver Jalen Smith, linebacker Mason Carrier and linebacker Sam Macy.
Two top in-state targets remain uncommitted in defensive end Wyatt Gilmoreand offensive lineman Emerson Mandell. If the Gophers can land one of the two, that's big. If they land both, that's icing on the cake.
Minnesota's other big wins include Roy, three-star defensive tackle Riley Sunram and three-star tight end Julian Johnson.
