Another program to recruit NJ. And we probably see a disgraced OC return to Rutgers and hang 50 on us.
I'm not really worried. If they get a Jersey kid here and there it's not a big deal. Don't expect him to get top Jersey recruits. Minnesota is not a elite level like OSU, Mich, ND, or Bama. Plus it's cold as hell and who really wants to live there for 4 years!
"By Thursday night, signs pointed toward the Gophers hiring Fleck, but Miles loomed as a legitimate fallback option. The 63-year-old Miles won a national championship for LSU in 2007 but was fired in September, four games into his 12th season in Baton Rouge, La., despite a 114-34 record with the Tigers."
I don't get it. Why not go for Miles over Fleck instead of the reverse?
Because Miles feels stale and PJ is the young up and coming guy. I'd rather Miles too because the guy can coach and always had great defenses. But, Miles's offenses the past few years were pedestrian
It's like I was saying one of the other threads, I think Miles would be affordable for Minnesota and others but for whatever reason he's not getting many bites this offseason even though he's pretty eager to get back in the game.
His offenses were shaky at LSU but he does a decent job of hiring good coordinators. Before LSU he hired Mike Gundy as OC at Ok. State, and he had Chavis at LSU as DC and replaced him with Aranda. He's also a pretty good recruiter although not sure how much of the southern talent he could lure to cold Minnesota.
In Minnesota the seasons are known as Winter, Mud, Road Construction and Still Road Construction.
- but have heard that it is also acceptable to utilize the name "Mosquito" for any of the seasons known as : Mud, Road Construction and Still Road Construction.
For whatever reason, Minnesota has 9 player from Texas, a few from Florida, a few from Louisiana, and a few from Florida. They have a decent amount of player from southern states.

because people look at how much talent he had at LSU and still see lots of WTF outcomes. he will have 1/8 of that talent at Minnesota.
And I bet most of them had zero P5 offers and no interest from home state schools. It's why what Kill did there is so impressive.
Good call on that. Reviewed about 8 or so of them, and you were very right. Most were very low rated 3 stars. Hope Kill can work the same magic at RU.
Seriously, the only former recent Rutgers coach I'd ever be concerned about having to compete for recruits with is Schiano. I'm not too worried about Fleck getting top NJ and NYC Metro recruits to choose Minnesota over Rutgers.
great hire and move for both and some on this board were saying he missed his window...lol
I've lived in New Jersey now for 20 years, so I know there is some sort of phobia or hatred of cold and snow here, but people in other parts of the country don't actually mind it or they even like it. There are lots of players from southern states who come to the north and like it.
"Row the boat" would have made perfect sense in Minnesota. a state filled with lakes, and Scandinavians. Too bad WMU owns the rights.
Wow... Fleck's commits are loyal to him...
... Friday, six 2017 Western Michigan commits decommitted from the Broncos and have committed to Minnesota.

Fleck is a hella recruiter... I have no doubts that he'll eventually be able to recruit similar, if not better talent than any of the other B1G West Division schools.

Well why wouldn't they go if he wants them. You go from an offer from a MAC school to one at a B10 school. I'd kind of think that's a given for any recruit if they're wanted. If it was the other way around, well now that would be loyalty haha.
If he's any relation to Bela Fleck, Minnesota can have awesome halftime banjo shows.
