It'll be Alabama/Clemson for the 976th time in a row before we even get close to that. CFB is such a yawn for me nowdays. I still pay attention/root for the Gophers but after that I could care less. It's too predictable.

The sad thing is that were about 3 real quality wins that were offset by some of really, really putrid losses. Any bowl game is better than no bowl game, but this season could have been much more.

Minnesota Football Recruiting: Four-star defensive tackle Rashad Cheney commits to the Gophers Cheney is the highest-rated defensive lineman to commit to Minnesota in the internet recruiting era Get to know Rashad Cheney: Height: 6’2’’ Weight: 275 Power 5 Scholarship Offers: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Miami, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Penn State, South Carolina, and Tennessee 247 Sports Composite Rating: .8920 Scouting Report: Cheney will be a three-technique defensive tackle in his playing career at Minnesota. For the layman, that means he will line up on the outside shoulder of a guard. The defensive alignment makes it difficult for opposing offenses to double team a three-technique defensive tackle, which is good news for a defensive lineman of Cheney’s size and bad news for the offensive lineman lined up across from him. Cheney’s task will be to get in the backfield and disrupt the play, whether that means making a play on the ball carrier or rushing the quarterback. Quickness is key, and Cheney is fast with his first step and aggressive with his hands. It’s not hard to see how he could make life difficult for opposing offenses and wreak some havoc upfield. https://www.thedailygopher.com/2018/12/9/18133366/minnesota-football-recruiting-2019-rashad-cheney-commits-defensive-tackle

How many 4* players do the Gophers average each year? 1-2? Never a 5 star right. How many 4 stars does Bama average. Probably don't even accept anybody less than a 4*.

I can see your scepticism. However, I can't remember a time when we had a coach that has been able to land good recruits. I really think this oline he has built is going to dominate starting next season. Extending Fleck was the right thing to do vs coaching carousel. The real test is can he get these kids to stay out of trouble.

kgdabom -> RE: Gopher Football (12/16/2018 10:50:50 AM)
It sucks how we have two of our best players who just decide not to play in our bowl game.

TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (12/17/2018 11:43:21 AM)
Fleck added a second 4 star DT to his recruiting class. Kristian Williams from Memphis is 6'3" and 280 lbs. He also got a top 10 kicker out of Georgia, Michael Lantz.

A good article on Texas HS QB Jacob Clark, who will sign during the early period and start classes at the U in January. "As a junior in Texas, Clark completed 63 percent of his passes for 2,923 yards, with 29 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 12 games. In his senior year, he completed 65 percent of his throws for 3,295 yards, 31 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 11 games." In his first start as a junior he led an upset of the defending state 5A champion in Texas. "Clark threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns, including scores of 55 and 16 yards as Rockwall produced a stunning 53-49 victory." His last career start was against the #1 ranked team in the country. "Clark completed 27 of 40 passes for 428 yards and three total touchdowns in the 52-40 playoff loss. He extended plays under pressure and connected with receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, an Ohio State commit, for 14 receptions and 269 yards." https://www.twincities.com/2018/12/17/gophers-quarterback-commit-jacob-clark-impressed-where-its-toughest-texas/ He's 6'5" with a big time arm and is supposed to compete for the starting job right away.

Nice Bio, but he's just three star rated and 484th best prospect in the country. https://247sports.com/Player/Jacob-Clark-46049603/

Anyone we can get .... please. QB was better, but still an issue this past season. We need to get lucky here

We need to get lucky here It's always a good sign when a lot of other D1 schools, including the ones in your own conference, want him. Clark had offers from Cal, Iowa, Purdue, TCU, Baylor, Colorado State and a bunch of south west universities. I wouldn't be surprised if his star rating gets a bump. He may not have gotten 4 stars because he is a true pro style QB and doesn't run much, which seems to be desired in the college game. EDIT: Rivals actually has Clark rated as a 4 star.

Big discrepancy between Rivals and 247. Hopefully Rivals is the more reliable. [:D] Edit: I see Rivals just bumped him up to 4* and have him the 13th rated Pro Style QB. The 14th rated is a 3* so Clark is on the cusp of 3-4. He seems like a pretty good get for us.

I thought the decision was made that they just needed to pick a guy between the Ax and Morgan (they chose Morgan in the end), and stick with him for good.

I don't think we should be neglecting to recruit talented QBs because of Ax and Morgan. So far recruiting isn't looking good. Rivals has us as the 34th best class with no five stars and only 2 four stars.

TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (12/19/2018 10:46:09 AM)
Five star recruits only go to royalty programs. From 247, Rivals and ESPN combined Minnesota has 6 different recruits with 4 star ratings from one service or another. It's very subjective. Overall getting a mid 30's rating and top 8 in the Big Ten is fine. The rankings are determined by totaling up all the stars in the class and dividing them by the number of recruits. You literally have several spots in the rankings separated by tenths and even hundredths of a star.

The Gophers picked up a surprise signing today. Kelvin Clemmons, a 6 foot / 205 lb CB from HUTCHINSON Community College signed a letter of intent today. Unfortunately on our top recruits hasn't signed yet. Kristian Williams the DT from Memphis is considering waiting until the February period to sign. He told 247 that he still committed to the Gophers.

“(He) is thinking about waiting until February instead now,” 247sports.com recruiting analyst Ryan Burns reported Tuesday night. “He really wants it known that he’s committed to the Gophers still, as (he) spoke with (head coach P.J.) Fleck (Tuesday) about things.” Doesn't sound like someone who is as good as gone.

Saying I'm still committed to the Gophers, but not signing is very much like a coach getting a vote of confidence. Kiss of Death.
