Fleck says MN is putting much greater emphasis on recruiting and developing high school athletes than through Portal

Agree, much cheaper to pay a high school kid $50,000 who has not proved himself on the field yet, vs a high end tranfer portal kid $1,000,000.

Much cheaper for good reason, but you can’t even put a $50,000 high school kid on the field 95% of the time. You can get free transfers that are at least physically in much better shape than the average high schooler.

I like it. If we can agree that we dont have the same resources to attract players like Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana now....... then we have to do things differently than they do or you have no shot.

The problem is they were doing it our way previously and beating us that way, they have now found a better way and will now be beating us worse.

I think PJ Fleck is doing this ass backwards but who am I!

If you know someone who will put in about 15 million a year for football nIL, Fleck might try the portal way to build a team
