Hi all,
I listened.
I'll try to remember some of it.
I think they asked Fleck about the class.
Fleck said he was really happy with it.
Sid asked about recruits who would start or at least play this year.
Bateman and Oliver were two that were mentioned.
Sid asked about early enrolling in January.
Fleck said they have (6 or 7, Fleck knew the number, I don't remember). That it was good for them to get into the realm of going to class and getting familiar with the team. It's really helps.
Forget what another question was, but Fleck talked about recruiting. Recruiting year round. Building relationships. Been recruiting 2019's for a while. It goes over a year. Some go back to before Fleck was here.
Sid asked to compare the two classes, last year and this year.
PJ said they had 12 months instead of a few weeks. Was able to build longer relationships.
Maxie asked him about what he tells recruits. If they will play or not.
Fleck says you have to be honest with the players. They are smart. They'll know if you BS them.
He says he'll lay it out. "If we have someone good in front of them, we'll tell them, we have a Senior or Junior ahead of you, but we'll red-shirt you your first year since it will be hard to compete with them, then you'll start 4 years, or compete for that spot against that player when they are a Senior, then probably be in line to compete / start as a Redshirt Freshman or Sophomore, then start each year after that.
I'm sure I'm missing something else, but nothing to surprising if you listened to PJ much this week.
Sid gave a Murray's certificate. Said Murray's likes it when PJ and his lovely bride come there.
Some double talk between PJ and Sid at the end.
Happy holidays. Go gophers, Row the boat, ski u Mah!

After that, they spoke with Jerry Kill briefly.
Sid elaborated how much he misses Jerry and that Jerry did a bunch of really good things at the U.
They asked Jerry about how hard it was to step down.
He said it was really tough, but his body doesn't allow him to do it.
No regrets. If he hadn't tried one more time, he wouldn't know if he could.
Should have stayed in the admin role he had at K-State.
Another question, forgot what was asked.
Jerry said he and Rebecca missed our area and loved the people here.
Jerry said after it happens, a lot of people are prideful in what they've done, and people get sensitive through job changes. (this sounded like Jerry and Tracy backing off for their upset-ness with the coaching change last year)
Mona or Sid asked about Tracy Claeys.
Kill talks to him every couple days and he's got a couple possibilities out there. Maybe something will hit after the bowl game.
Murrays gift certificate from Sid. Talked about Jerry's lovely wife, Rebecca.
Some joke was made about Sid dating someone. Jerry said Sid was two-timing Rebecca and would have to face her about that. She saw him lately with someone else.
After the break Max said it sounds like Tracy is in line for a coordinator position, and that's no small coin.
