Fleck wants the U’s top athletic programs to produce more potential pro players

[BleedGopher]

per Marcus:

Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck closed the event Tuesday night by piggybacking on Pitino’s point about wanting the U’s top athletic programs to produce more potential pro players. Fleck had linebacker Blake Cashman get picked in the fifth round of the NFL draft by the New York Jets this spring.

“We’re here to change all that,” Fleck said. “Whether it’s [men’s hockey coach Bob] Motzko, whether it’s Lindsay, whether it’s [volleyball coach] Hugh [McCutcheon] or Richard, we’re all here to change that, I promise you.”
