No reporter in town is more interested in the progress each year of the early enrolees than Sid!
Per Sid:
As spring practice approaches, Fleck is confident that seven recruits who enrolled in January, including junior college quarterback Vic Viramontes, will help the team to a better finish than the Gophers’ 5-7 mark last season, even though it appears they have a tougher schedule with Big Ten road games at Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Fleck talked about his early impressions of Viramontes, the top-ranked junior college quarterback in the country.
“I haven’t watched him throw yet; we’re not allowed to watch anybody throw,” Fleck said. “Players are doing a lot of things on their own. But I do like how he has come in here and attacked the workouts. He is doing a great job in the weight room and in meetings with coaches.
“He’s very attentive. Our whole quarterback room is, [which is important] because whatever quarterback plays for us this year isn’t going to have any [Gophers] experience from the past to really fall back on.”
The seven enrollees already on campus are quarterbacks Viramontes and Zach Annexstad; offensive linemen Curtis Dunlap, Daniel Faalele and Nathan Boe; linebacker Thomas Rush and defensive end Alex Reigelsperger.
Fleck said they all show great athletic ability.
