Hadn't a clue, but you're right -- 11/22, and with only medium confidence, so seems it means little. Guess we'll see if another CB is coming and that's what the poster above meant.

I mean, it looks like they let him take a picture in full uniform with The Axe on his official. I know I'm biased, but that's some powerful sh*t!

Will have absolutely zero affect.

I read the comments yesterday about the Iowa 5* guy that Iowa got. He stated the PSU game at Kinnick was the turning point for him.

So you are absolutely wrong if you think one game, or the two losses I referenced, can't influence high school kids.

Maybe the Gophers win against Wisky had a positive effect on someone?

So he ignored the Michigan ass whooping?

Even to the most die hard Gopher fan, the 2022 commits are a bit underwhelming.

Fleck is gonna have to get it done with the portal.

I think the BG/Illinois losses will do more damage to the 2023 class, tho.

Get what done exactly?

Gophers hosted more recruits for the Wisconsin game than any other in Fleck's tenure. I'm sure it impacted someone.

lol. There has to be something better to do with your time than trolling a MN fan board.

He was both.

He had pictures with Lightsabers and someone on an Iowa State board found out he also was posting all over Harry Potter boards and writing Harry Potter fan fiction.

Now he pretends to be a Gopher fan named Boomtime.

I remember the light saber pictures that found their way onto this board. Still trying to forget them.

The reason it is likely is the fact it does not appear to be a football injury. That would then indicate a health issue. Football injuries heal. Health issues can remain indefinitely.

I heard it was football related.

Compensate for a rather meh recruiting class.

This should have been one of the classes where the 2019 season should have resonated.

PJ needs some more canoe pushers.

It’s almost like wins and losses in a given season have little impact on recruiting.
 

Anthony Holmes might be a possibility, we recruited him early, but committed early to Virginia. His only visit was to UVa, if he doesn't sign early, we might have a chance.

Would love to get this guy, would add to a very nice dline class. 21 sacks, he’s a little undersized, or he’d be rated much higher.
 


On paper, the Gophers 2022 commitments ranked 44th nationally. The rest of the Big Ten West: Purdue 36th, Iowa 39th, NW 42nd, WI 43rd, Illinois 45th, and NE 58th. They are pretty much in the same neighborhood except NE - https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/

How the Gophers will do with transfer signees in this class? We are losing 11 players to the Transfer Portal and wish some of them stuck around - https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24044

Last year, the Gophers signed Jack Gibbens just before NSD, Dylan Wright in late December, and Nyles Pinckney was in early January. The Transfer Portal was a positive gain.

This year, we'd like to see a repeat.

The pool of high school talent is going to shrink on the 17th. I would expect the portal activity to pick up at that point.

With middling programs like Minnesota, one great year is viewed as an outlier. Because of Covid, the Gophs never had a chance to build on 2019. Then came this season with Fleck's claim of his best team ever since he arrived and a 8-4 season with two really bad losses.

Any momentum in recruiting following 2019 is gone with the wind. We'd all like to see bright spots in the 2022 class, and there are a couple. The last few months of recruiting are less than stellar.

That loss to Iowa was costly from multiple angles. Fleck needs to get the mental part of the game against Ferentz figured out.
 

This season is over, time to move on. (Im not going to watch the bowl game this year but I hope they put on an offensive fireworks display and use that to recruit for 23)
