per Sid:
Fleck said Wednesday "a starter or starters" would ultimately miss the game in Detroit. But Fleck is waiting to disclose further information because he views it as a matter between the Gophers and their student-athletes, not a public discussion.
Fleck was disappointed that signing day Wednesday was overshadowed by talk of suspensions, but he was happy to have inked the 33rd best recruiting class, according to 247sports.com, in the nation.
He said that more important than the rankings was the fact that they filled out thin spots on the roster.
“I am really happy with it,” Fleck said. “We hit a bunch of needs. We needed defensive linemen, we needed secondary members, and across the board at every position I thought we did a very good job of identifying the right people to be able to come into this program and be able to do what we need them to do.”
Fleck said that the 13 extra practices before the bowl and time spent together as a team should help get the team into a great place heading into next season. He also said to expect some roster changes against a Georgia Tech team that runs a triple-option offense unlike any they have seen this season.
“There will be some changes even just based on propelling ourselves to next year,” Fleck said. “Curtis Dunlap Jr. on the offensive line you’re going to see him a little bit more. We’ll be playing eight freshman on offense and that is one of those things that’s going to help us down the road. And hopefully help us on the bowl game, as well.”
