Fa'alele & Dunlap are close to getting redshirts for this year, so that will help into the future.

Everyone gets a redshirt this year. Those guys will be long gone by the time the 2021 class is ready to contribute.

After this year? Can he? Isn't this only his sophomore year?

Yep, I figured like Bateman he was gone.

While he can go pro, I'm not positive he will. He's a physical specimen and a beast in the run game, but his pass blocking isn't exactly up to NFL standards. Still, if enough people get in his ear and tell him he's a Day 1 or 2 pick, that'll probably be enough motivation to leave.

Fa'alele is nowhere near ready to go pro. Which doesn't mean it won't happen but I think it's far from forgone he'll jet.

Class MVP: Athan Kaliakmanis
P.J. Fleck has talked about recruiting players who are “the right fit” for the culture at Minnesota. He stresses the need to find players who want to come to Minnesota and be a part of what Fleck and co. are building. Athan Kaliakmanis is the perfect example. He and his brother Dino both committed to Minnesota on March 27, 2019. That is nearly two years ahead of Early National Signing Day, and their commitments never wavered. Now that is a commitment.

Athan is also the highest-rated quarterback recruit to sign with Minnesota since the Tim Brewster era. He is 6’4”, possesses the arm strength to make all the necessary throws, and boasts a quick release. Athan also shows poise and calm in the pocket, but has the athleticism to keep plays alive. All the physical tools are there for him to be an elite quarterback at Minnesota.

If the OL gets healthy with Dunlap and Fa'alele back, that line could be pretty devastating. Mo is looking at a monster of a year.

AND that would bode well for Tanner, giving him the protection he desperately needs...now just need to figure out who the go to receivers are going to be!

Agreed, WR is the question mark on offense. Autman-Bell will be solid, Daniel Jackson will need to step up and hopefully Dylan Wright will be eligible.
