vike daddy Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 The Minnesota Gophers football team is hosting their annual “Summer Splash” recruiting event this weekend, where they host a couple dozen recruits on campus at the same time, and make the entire weekend a showcase for why a high school kid would want to go to school at the University of Minnesota and play football for PJ Fleck and the Gophers. The festivities include players who are already committed, along with all of Minnesota’s top targets who have yet to make a decision. Per usual, the weekend has been littered with commitments. The first came on Friday, prior to the recruiting party even getting started. On Sunday morning, Fleck added more commits. One of them, Bradley Martino (GA), falls in as the highest-rated recruit in Minnesota’s 2025 class, so far, behind only 247Sports 89-overall QB Jackson Kollack. Bradley Martino has D1 talent as a cornerback. According to Ryan Burns (247Sports), however, the Gophers plan for him to play wide receiver. https://www.minnesotasportsfan.com/minnesota-gophers-recruiting-news-2025-bradley-martino/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was something like 12 or 13,000 planes supporting the invasion. I just listened to the American History Hit podcast episode on the Project Neptune part of the D-Day Assault. It was very good. https://embed.acast.com/$/62c7fb2a7acf3900129dffa7/america-at-d-day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as great a recruiter he is, he gets remarkably about the same results every year. As great a recruiter as he has been, they should have gotten at least one conference championship appearance by now...but, the game-day coaching has kept that from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has peaked as a coach. He is not improved. Unfortunately, the gophers just aren’t going to get anyone better. I wish he would bring someone in as an assistant head coach type.

SemperFeist Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Fleck needs to find coordinators who will take the program to the next level. And despite his recruiting ability, he still has not recruited a worthwhile QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Gopher Annexstad is a UDFA in Tampa Bay, former recruit Brennan Armstrong has tried out for a couple of teams this year (KC and Jacksonville)...otherwise, it's been a pretty abysmal record.

I think that one is more on MLB than the Twins. MLB is giving all the teams a "city" uniform. I'm not sure that any of them have been good thus far.

The Gnat Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Twins with a good win against a bad Rockies team. After another rough patch with the Yankees and then the Pirates somehow. But Lewis with another HR and Paddock with a nice outing. The Twins either seem to be win 7 in a row or lose 7 in a row. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've understood, they've played pretty well while not being anywhere close to what they were in their run. They're not an elite team, but they can compete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
