per Randy:
"It's 48 hours until signing day, how are you feeling?''
"What answer do you want?'' Fleck replied, chuckling. "On edge. Jumpy. Paranoid. Those are the real answers. It's 48 hours to signing day; anything can happen.''
Such is the life of a college football coach on national signing day, when the whims of 17- and 18-year-olds can turn on a dime and a recruit once considered a lock for one team can flip in the time it takes to grab a baseball cap embroidered with a rival's logo.
This year's early signing period begins Wednesday and runs through Friday, and the Gophers are expected to receive national letters of intent Wednesday from the bulk of their recruiting Class of 2022. Fleck is expected to land a class with 19 incoming freshmen who have pledged, plus one transfer player who has committed to Minnesota.
"It's a fun time,'' Fleck said Monday, making sure he spoke only in general terms and not on specific yet-to-be-signed players, which would violate NCAA rules. "I feel really good about all of our guys who are committed. We had a big weekend this past weekend, which I look forward to talking about in 48 hours.''

'On edge. Jumpy. Paranoid.' Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck rides the recruiting roller coaster
The Gophers will sign the bulk of their recruiting Class of 2022 when the early signing period opens Wednesday. Fleck likes what he sees from the group.
