MINNESOTA IS IN A GOLDEN AGE OF SUCCESS​

The numbers:

• With three draft picks this year, Minnesota now has had 14 players drafted in the last four years (2020-23). That is the most draft picks in a four-year span for the Gophers since they also had 14 players picked from 1988-91
• The 2023 draft was the fourth straight draft where Minnesota had an offensive and defensive player selected. The last time that happened was 1975-78

My take:
P.J. Fleck's Golden Gophers have the No. 14 class in 2024 and it's clear that the program is in a rock-solid place (two straight nine-win seasons and don't forget that 11-2 mark in 2019). I know the staff was proud that its three draft picks in 2023 were homegrown prospects who the staff evaluated out of high school, rather than the transfer portal.

Go Gophers!!

Another positive for 2024 recruiting.

Almost like P.J. knows what he's doing and isn't just a song and dance guy with a bunch of gimmicks.

Yeah, but I really wish he wouldn't run 25 yards with his team between quarters.
