STrib: P.J. Fleck snags four-star Gophers football prospect Jason Bargy, evens spring recruiting score with Notre Dame

Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck lost a recent recruiting battle with Notre Dame, but he responded by beating the Fighting Irish and other top schools for four-star Illinois junior defensive end Jason Bargy.

Bargy announced his commitment Wednesday night to play for Minnesota over programs such as Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan State. The 6-4, 255-pound Momence High School standout is the No. 2 ranked junior in Illinois and No. 99 in the Class of 2019 by 247Sports.com.

Fleck wasn’t able to land Edina four-star junior offensive tackle Quinn Carroll, who picked Notre Dame last week. But the Gophers responded with Bargy, the highest rated recruit to commit to the U since Eden Prairie’s Carter Coughlin in 2015.

I don't pay for rivals any more, but there is a nice long thread on him committing here on the Illinois site. I'm curious to know how worried they are with Fleck raiding their state.

247 has him at 255. Wonder if it's just a typo from Greder. From the videos I've checked out he looks very explosive off the line and has a serious motor.

I don't know if you accidentally checked a different player, or maybe they have just updated their rankings, but he's ranked #190 in the 247 composite rankings. 247 actually has him ranked #99 in their own rankings.

I think he was talking 255 lbs and not 225 lbs.

Dude is wicked fast for how big he is! Can't wait to see him chasing down QBs in maroon and gold!

You are correct.

 

[Governor Sibley]

Great news. I hope he signs! Then I hope he plays!

Interesting banter/speculation going on there...Fleck's gotten into the posters' heads.

 

[Halsey Hall]

That isn't the problem... He just didn't announce it on the Champaign or Chicago TV station to throw it in Northwestern's or Illinois face!

Is there an IL thread about Lovie Smith recruiting JuCo's?

Good question, why don't you check and let us know.

Ahhh, my mistake.

Nice get! Currently 5th-highest rated Gophers recruit ever according to 247 composite.

Who are the four above him? Nagurski and....?

God

 

[die hard gopher]

He rushed for over 1,200 yards as a sophomore while still being a full time defensive starter....

 

[MennoSota]

Why would he be chasing down quarterbacks wearing maroon and gold? I'd prefer he chase down QBs in red and white...

Sucks he couldn't qualify. Hopefully he gets in somewhere and gets an education

If it is academics better for both sides to find out now as opposed to after signing day.

We should know if it's academics based on where he ends up going

So if he becomes a Badger, it was definitely academics.

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Not academics. From what I have read he has been charged with domestic battery/bodily injury and is in the slammer.

Well that would be far worse....
