Welcome!!! Could not be more excited for where this boat appears to be headed!!!
From Reddit- another notable #280 overall is some dude named Joe BurrowThere are quite a few 4* every year. The 24/7 composite lists him as #280 in the country overall
Heard Ohio State is after him...... but Tate Martell is a better optionFrom Reddit- another notable #280 overall is some dude named Joe Burrow![]()
That was one heck of senior class from Hutchinson...Murtha, Nathan Swift and Tony Mortenson
Maybe we need to just make sure no recruit ever sets foot on campus.
I make a point to not get overly excited about recruits until they sign and prove they can play, but it is impossible to deny that recruiting is taking a big leap in the right direction and we are starting to beat out helmet schools for recruits. That isn't something that happened much around here before Fleck arrived.
That says something when 4* players are committing without even having set foot on campus. Here's hoping we get to play the 2020 season and can keep on building on this current trend. Exciting times for Gopher football and it doesn't feel like we have peaked yet.
He's ass my dude.Heard Ohio State is after him...... but Tate Martell is a better option

you nailed it. i know its Good Friday but you nailed it.Remember on signing day when we were trying to fill out classes by stealing MAC recruits?
It's also interesting that the top-rated guys considering us are all from out of state. Right now, all 3 of the Gophers' top-rated verbals and all of the other top-rated guys supposedly considering MN are from somewhere else like AZ, WA, IL or FL. Compare that to the Empire Class of 2016 where the 6 top-rated guys (Coughlin, Green, Johnson, Schleuter, Martin and Howard) were all currently or recently (Green) from MN. Appears the program/brand/culture is starting to get a national reputation?
I'd agree with this as well. The national exposure in big games last season, final rankings and record and all the press we have gotten are starting to get us past the front door with these kids. They not only know about the school and team, but they have heard about PJ - and I think this is where his unique energy and ability to connect are becoming a factor. When it's time to close - now we are in a position (for all the reasons above) to get them - but he is special in this scenario and sets us apart from a lot of teams/schools/coaches. PS. I think it also doesn't hurt that our staff is built of primarily young guys, who also are much closer to being able to identify with 17-year-olds these days.
I like to get overly excited ... but then I forget everything and come signing day I get excited again ...
I watch the videos and such but honestly I've no clue how any folks really evaluate stuff. Beyond the most obvious that everyone can see like some guy who is #1 overall is pretty amazing and everyone wants him.... I'm not sure there's good info out there about anyone else.
So is his sister...yowza.He's ass my dude.
I could get use to this level of recruiting ! I hope he brings other talent with him. Go Gophers !
Getting higher rated guys might not guarantee anything but it certainly improves the odds of them panning out. And it definitely makes it more exciting as fans to see highly regarded players committing and hopefully signing in December.
Except when they thought that Joe Burrow was not as good as their QB's.agreed. If it were just recruiting rankings, Nebraska would be dominating the B1GW
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't that Pelini & Co.'s assessment of Burrow. Additionally I think that Frost has taken their recruiting to another level than Pelini was on.Except when they thought that Joe Burrow was not as good as their QB's.
They both whiffed on Burrow. This was an old post of mine.Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't that Pelini & Co.'s assessment of Burrow. Additionally I think that Frost has taken their recruiting to another level than Pelini was on.
I have a feeling he and his 7v7 teammates, Phillip Riley and Junior Alexander, are a package deal.
