Well, my guess is that Mo or Trey will once again get a bummer of an injury.....can't have too many good backs!Hoop Dreams wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 7:40 pm Trey Potts announced he will be back next year. Not sure there's going to be a lot of carries available for him.

Gophers landed Beanie Bishop from the transfer portal. He's a first team all conference cornerback from Western Kentucky.
Hoping Fleck can get a defensive line transfer or two. Gophers are losing a lot of bodies on the d-line.

Per the Star Tribune:
"I know we didn't throw the ball particularly a lot this year. I'm very aware of that,'' Fleck said. "That does not mean we're not going to throw the ball next year.''

Feek,
1. What's the word on this Vandy DE? Will he start?
2. We got any other diff makers in the weeds?

Re: Gophers Football thread
He'll be on top of the depth chart when Spring ball starts. DE is pretty thin right now. They're getting Thomas Rush back, but he's had more success as a straight-up pass rushing specialist than a 3-down DE.hategreenticemase wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 6:26 am Feek,

They're chasing an FCS lineman real hard, but that kid has about 30 offers already. Need to find a DT or two, but I haven't heard much on that front.

Got what appears to be a pretty good OL transfer from Michigan yesterday. Started four games for a team that was pretty damn good at running the ball.

Re: Gophers Football thread
Not sure if either of these were already noted.

The #Gophers hired Brick Haley as their new DL coach. What should you know about his coaching background?
@DanielHouseNFL wrote about the players, schemes and recruiting trends that have defined Haley's career. Also, learn about his family's foundation: https://bit.ly/3nwiBW3
btw Brick Haley is a great name for DL coach.Tyler Stolsky @TylerStolsky · Jan 6

Gophers landed another DT transfer today. Chris Smith out of Harvard. He was first team all Ivy League. Had offers from Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse.

Some DB from Minneapolis just hit the portal from Northern Iowa. FCS defensive player of the year in 2019. He good enough for this dance?

Re: Gophers Football thread
I've only seen Okie State mentioned as a possibility. They've got big booster money still laying around, but that's not like that's a huge step up from the Gophers and the Big 12 is rapidly sliding down hill. He's a Pittsburgh guy, before getting hired here, he coached pretty much exclusively out east. I'd be concerned if Penn State or Ohio State wanted him. Can't see Stillwater, Oklahoma being a draw for him.Hoop Dreams wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 10:23 pmI've been seeing rumors lately about other schools being interested in Joe Rossi.

Well, that sucks. Why go to a running school? You'd think they would be smart enough to use him better, but still, you'd think there would be better opportunities for him out there.
