RB Estrada commits to Gophers

[mkAz]

if you want to get overly excited, go watch his hudl tape on 247. I get it's lower division, but still

As far as I can tell he didn’t get tackled last year.

Ok. Hear me out on this. Theory.

I think Fleck is selling that UM is a 4 (or 5) year life program. Although he has NIL money, he's not going to buy a new team every year. This is a family and though they will go get someone if it is a position of need, he is promoting a family, life learning, team building, lifetime friendship program. Doesn't resonate with everyone, but with some it does, especially some mom and dad's. That's why he has such an unusually high amount of high school recruits compared to most others.

Thoughts?

Looks like De’Anthony Thomas when at Oregon, spread the D out wide as possible, give the RB big lanes

I agree. IMO 5-star players are selfish and not team players. Those type of players aren't good fits for PJ. He's all about team, no one above anyone else.

Already recruiting!

His dad used to patrol the freeways of southern California on a police motorcycle. Or at least that is what I am thinking.

More like grandpa you mean. Ponch is close to 80 now.

I've decided to drink an extra one in your honor when I get home tonight.

Well?

How was the drink?

Did you pour a special bourbon or something?

This can’t be a serious post can it?

The 12 year old is a nice scotch for the price point. Very smooth for a 12.

Per the El Paso Times:

"Ryan developed a strong relationship with coach Fleck and the Minnesota staff," El Dorado football coach Frank Martinez said. "The culture at Minnesota is something that Ryan really liked. Ryan handled the recruiting process so well, and I'm really happy for his family and for him."

That's exactly how I pronounce "Ann Arbor" after partaking in some Don Julio.

When I read that, I heard it in Jonathan Quayle Higgins' voice.

Lol. He’d kill for 5 star players like every other coach
