per Greder:

Under new head coach P.J. Fleck, the Gophers’ recruiting class has undergone an almost complete makeover. The exception is five prep players from Minnesota, who had given oral commitments to former coach Tracy Claeys that Fleck will honor.

When Fleck replaced Claeys on Jan. 6, he inherited a recruiting class with 10 outstate commitments. After Georgia cornerback Trey Creamer pledged to Iowa on Monday evening, nine of those recruits had moved on; the lone exception, Claeys-recruited junior college quarterback Neil McLaurin, who signed a letter of intent in December and is now enrolled at the U.

So in less than three weeks, Fleck has added 23 new recruits to the five from Minnesota as national signing day arrives Wednesday.

The Minnesota five are: Marshall offensive tackle Blaise Andries; Robbinsdale Cooper offensive tackle Eric Abojei; Woodbury tight end Nathan Bursch; East Ridge duo of running back Dominik London and kicker Grant Ryerse.

Are you saying Kiffin would have gotten rid of some of the MN recruits?
