per Sid:
Thoughts of leaving
That was Rhoda’s lone start last season, and he said with the upheaval around the Gophers in the offseason, there was a real chance he was going to leave the team.
“I guess I was going to just pursue other options based on the previous staff, what they wanted to do with quarterback and they weren’t going to renew my scholarship after I graduated in December,” he said. “So I wanted to explore for my fifth year just some other options. I looked into some things and got my film out to some people, kind of right during the dead period is when Coach [P.J.] Fleck got hired.
“I was in a two-week waiting process and then Coach got hired and called me about two days later. It was a pretty easy sales job for him to get me to want to come back here, giving me that opportunity. This is where I wanted to be and wanted to play for five years. I couldn’t be happier with the way it worked out.”
