per Greder:
Gophers coach P.J. Fleck and his staff have sprinted out of the starting gate to net an abundance of oral commitments for the 2018 recruiting class.
With another four additions over the weekend, Minnesota’s 30th-ranked class now totals 23 pledges, which is second only to Navy’s 30, according to 247sports.com. Only six Football Bowl Subdivision programs have 20 or more players on board, including Big Ten brethren Penn State (20) and Purdue (21).
The Gophers also want to be a pacesetter when some of the NCAA’s recently adopted rule changes take effect this winter. In May, the Collegiate Commissioners Association approved a three-day early singing period from Dec. 20-22, which will fast-forward the timeline from the traditional national signing day on the first Wednesday in February.
At Big Ten media days last week, Fleck said he expects “a lot” of the current pledges to sign in December. “All of them that are hopefully committed right now,” he continued. “A lot of them are going to start early as well. You are going to see a lot more early enrollees.”
