National Signing Day

[Gilthorp57]

Need more speed and track guys, great pick up!

And it shows none of the 3 have signed with Penn St.

Probably best if they hire the interim coach right now. This can't hurt Minnesota's chances in Happy Valley next year. I wonder how many current players will enter the portal.

Where is Hopkins?

Next to St. Louis Park

If Henson is the only non signee that is a huge win. Especially snagging Dozier as a bonus.

It would suck to miss on a DL prospect. The team could use some help there.

Wisconsin is considered in-state recruiting

Extend Fickell for a lifetime contract.

My favorite PJ press conference of the year. He does a really good job talking through the kids that we signed.

Henson decommitted.

 

[TNGophfan]

Did all the Hutch JC kids decommit?

Henson decommitted.

Hopefully, PJ finds help in the portal.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

Did all the Hutch JC kids decommit?

Yes.

 

[TNGophfan]

Yes.

Guessing he won't try that route again. Wonder if big NIL money suddenly showed up.

Thankfully as I fan I can foster a “scorched earth” type of deep hatred for Huthinson CC. Unfortunately I don’t think Fleck can also do that. I’d rather take other FBS transfers but that JUCO line needs to stay open.

Here is an update Stan!

We took two of the top 3 players out of Wisconsin.

Buckys top get, whom they thought was solid......just flipped.

You're welcome Stan.

Minnesota treats Wisconsin like in state recruiting. Take that Bert!

Eleven of the twenty-seven Penn State commits ended up signing with Virginia Tech.

None of the Tulane recruits followed Sumrall to Florida.

I think this is the best HS class PJ has ever signed? Based on the past few years of 247 rankings, a highschool class with a total score of ~225 should rank in the top 30 even after the later signing date. If PJ pulls in a transfer class ranked similar to last year (29 overall), this might be his first class to break into the upper 20s... hopefully it translates to on field performance as well...

If people don't acknowledge that PJ's recruiting is light years ahead of Mason and Kill they just don't like PJ....
5-6 of these guys would have been headliners for Mase or Kill.
I like to look at the other offers these guys had and about 90% of them had big-time other offers and choose Minnesota. That tells me more than stars.
Once upon a time, getting a last second flip from a guy that had offers from 2 teams likely in the top 12 in the country would have made headlines. Now it's almost ho-hum.
I don't like a lot of his game management decisions, but PJ is doing amazing things with the resources he's got.

Kill intentionally chased "Hidden" gems with mostly G5 offers.
