One of the walk-ons (Purcell I think) also had a scholarship that is now available. However, that's virtually assured to happen again. Possibly 2 of them. Perhaps 3.
The Gophers face many issues. NIL. An administration that isn't very invested or willing to color outside the lines. And not having a competent B1G head coach. But one is far more easily fixed than the other two.
PJ is a mediocre and sometimes even poor game day coach. But he's a very good recruiter and program builder. Ben is an average recruiter at best and inept or incapable of the other two. The gap between them is massive.
