Surprised there is no talk about signing day tomorrow. Are there any rumors of flipping a good player or one of ours being flipped? Way different than the weeks and weeks of chatting about the NFL draft.
 


It is crazy how much HS recruiting has slid into the background. This board used to be full of threads about recruiting and star rankings. Now, it hardly gets mentioned. But makes sense because in general HS recruits are going to need time to develop before they are ready to play whereas transfers have much more potential to start right away.

And with the way guys move around there is no guarantee that anyone who signs tomorrow will ever actually see the field for the Gophers.

plus they commit and decommit so often
 



I'm kind of surprised Nebraska only has 9 or 10 commitments at this point. Matt Rhule must be planning to add more late?

They have a composite ranking of 109 on 24-7, they do have a 5* & a 4*.

People got smart and remembered that stars don’t matter 😉
 








I use to look forward to the signing day social in February. It was always a great time. didn’t even know tomorrow was signing day.
 



Kinda seems like young kids are getting raw dogged. Player freedom is probably good via new transfer rules but probably at the cost of development to some extent.

Does anyone feel like the quality of college football has improved w nil and transfer rules post COVID?

IIRC they have a bit of a unbalanced recruiting schedule for this year and next year they can take a bunch.

I think in the last 20 years college football has improved as far as player development across the board.

FCS used to be the land of teams who FBS could just physically push over, there was almost no pre snap adjustments or such .... now teams like South Dakota came to town a while ago and they would adjust into the right coverage a lot, their DL looked reasonably capable ...

NIL, remains to be seen. Might be that players cycle out faster now? But if they do then they have to intake more...

I feel the transfers have been a positive overall for MN although someone pointed out that this year may have been an exception to that.
 



Pretty soon kids will having signing ceremonies telling everyone which agent they signed with

Or maybe three hats on the table and one of the hats just reads “Portal”
 


Yes, high school recruiting used be more fun. And I’m still waiting for our first multiple 5 Star class!
