As usual, the programs that win at that place aren't celebrated enough

Damn.
Then he wasn't old when I was young.
That's a tough job for a 29 year old.

He's the 9th Gopher to be drafted in the 1st round in the 55 year history of the draft (the most of any program in the Big Ten Conference).

1969: Noel Jenke, 13th overall (Boston Red Sox)
1973: Dave Winfield, 4th overall (San Diego Padres)
1977: Paul Molitor, 3rd overall (Milwaukee Brewers)
1990: Dan Wilson, 7th overall (Cincinnati Reds)
1991: Brent Gates, 26th overall (Oakland Athletics)
1992: Jeff Schmidt, 29th overall (California Angels) *supplemental first round*
2004: Glen Perkins, 22nd overall (Minnesota Twins)
2010: Mike Kvasnicka, 33rd overall (Houston Astros) *supplemental first round*
2020: Max Meyer, 3rd overall (Miami Marlins)
