Gopher FB coach Tracy Claeys appeared on the WCCO sports huddle on Sunday:
Sid: looking forward to players being on campus
TC: got all new kids moved in. start orientation today, medical stuff. all start workouts by Wednesday.
Sid: nobody missing
TC: Everyone who signed NLI is on campus
Sid:what can coaches do
TC: we get 2 hours a week. let them get base with conditioning first. more after July 4th.
Mona: preferred walk-ons?
TC: we treat all our kids the same. a few walk-ons chose to enroll in summer class so they can work out, 3-4 of those here right now.
Sid: schedule for kids?
TC: start team workouts at 7am, they're taking class - come back and lift in the afternoon. any film they have time for.
Sid: any scholarships to walk-ons?
TC: no. have till the end of the week if we want to put someone on this summer. maybe 2-3 kids this fall.
Sid: best team you've had?
TC: athletically. have as much depth except for OL. Senior QB coming back healthy. changes we've made on offense. strength at RB. got to have a kid step up at WR. Defensively, depth at LB, DL. Got more DT back. We'll create more pressure on QB. Secondary, we're athletic. got to stay healthy at safety. Ryan back to punt.
I think we have our best FB team
Sid: redshirts to help?
TC: don't know until you get into games. J Waters at LB, Buford at DB. Dior Johnson at Safety. feel good about those kids being able to compete. Hunter Register at WR. two RB's that played well in spring game.
Sid: how's recruiting going?
TC: don't know till you get closer to December. Got some kids in camp today. went out and hit 11-12 places around country. new athletic facilities. feel like we're going well. look forward to summer - finish up with camp in July.
