Maybe a dumb question but is JoJo Garcia 100% off the table?
I believe so

Yeah, he only wanted to come because of Jerry.
Would he have qualified academically? I thought there was an old posting speculating that transferring from school to school caused some academic issues.
No, I'm saying it is warranted.
1. Claeys has a short contract.
2. We have a senior QB.
3. The schedule is lined up for him to go 9-3 and get a contract.
but really you want 2-3 promising ones because odds say that only 1 will pan out. And what if that 1 gets hurt?
So what else could he do? Please explain HOW Claeys could hurt us down the road by trying to win now. I just don't see a path like that. Even if the motivation might be there, as you suggest.
OH! I get it now. Just recruit 2-3 promising high school recruits at every position. Brilliant. Thanks for clearing that up.

How could he hurt us by trying to go "all in" now? The other major revenue-generating sport coach is showing you exactly how.
Some basic math, 85 scholarships total, spread over 5 years means, if you keep everyone you can only sign 17 players a year. There is plenty of wiggle room in those numbers to allow for bringing in a few Juco players. While it might not be tradition in the Big 10, it's been done successfully for years, in the Pac 12 and Big 12. I don't care about tradition especially the part about the Gophers being a bottom tier team. The Juco players, this staff has brought in have been a net plus, as long as they stay at four to five per year level I don't see a problem.Do any other successful BIG teams sign 5-7 JuCo guys regularly? I'm not saying it is the worst strategy, as a lot of Big 12 schools do OK with it, but the BIG seems like most a sign-and-develop league. OSU and the likes seem to bring one in every once in a while but generally take a blue chip grad transfer if there. More comparable programs like Iowa and Wisky - Iowa does a bit, Wisky almost never does (I think they started to under Andersen). Sure I'd take Russell Wilson as a grad transfer, but not all JuCos are going to fit in.
You can't not acknowledge the negative side to it. "Well, we just needed some upper-level depth at d-back and the offensive line...we have some young recruits at those spots." Guess what, maybe you're ignoring WR or LB to plug the holes and you're going to have the same problem in 2 years at those positions when the 1 young guy you were counting on at LB is a bust or transfers away.
Admittedly I am not a basketball fan, (I'd rather watch tax returns be prepared) but how does losing to minor programs and every Big Ten game equate to going "all in now?" If that is the case, I'd hate to see the future!

Snelson aside, wouldn't it make more sense to see how a recruit's college career pans out before declaring them overhyped?Snelson might be slower than Hayo. He has to the most over-hyped recruit in the 10 years that I've followed Gopher football recruiting.
His first year, he brought in several juco/transfer players to win for some of the upperclassmen he had. The cupboard became bare in the current junior/senior classes. The only ones he has are JuCos that provide negative value.
It can work in certain places and maybe it will here. You can't just say "well there's a ton of scholarships."
We consistently have terrible depth. We're now likely risking our future depth. We complained about injuries all year while Wisky (a lot) and Iowa (some) found replacement-level guys who had been developed in the system to save their seasons when the injury bug hit them.

I just think it hurts program depth 2 years from now.
I actually think that the JuCos will generally help this season, and this our season to win.

This makes no sense. A Juco or Sr graduate...same, same. Our depth issues are more injury related and recruiting misses. Can't make a FR become a R-JR in one year, but you can fill that gap with a Juco while your underclassmen continue to develop. If more misses/injuries happen, you might be back to Juco, but not necessarily.
When exactly was basketball "all in"?
