per Chad:
New University of Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck pledged thorough evaluations of Gopher recruits on Friday.
In September, it was revealed that he allowed a player with multiple sexual assault allegations to join his Western Michigan team last fall. Fleck kicked the player off his Broncos team, but was criticized for being unaware of the multiple allegations against him.
Now he comes to a Gophers team which has 10 suspended players following an EOAA investigation into sexual misconduct.
“I took 100 percent responsibility for that in terms of I allowed that kid on the football team,” Fleck said at his introductory news conference Friday. “I had zero knowledge — zero knowledge — of that information. He was a walk-on that was recruited later. I learned a lot from that — to not have a walk-on that late. It was the one time that I didn’t do enough to make sure that there wasn’t the background that he had.”
In September, Fleck acknowledged it was a “mistake” to allow 18-year-old freshman wide receiver Bryson White on the team despite multiple allegations of sexual assault dating back to when White was 13 years old.
