Phillip Howard enters transfer portal

[beavergopher]

Phillip has exited the portal and returning to the U of M according to Ryan Burns

Just like on Star Trek.

 

[Schnauzer]

Welcome (back)!

Just like on Star Trek.

You see, what happened is this: he stepped into the portal, but he didn't realize that it was actually a wormhole that had looped around itself and just spit him right back out here. Somewhere near Blarney's, apparently.

And a year younger...so I think he gained another year of eligibility.

Technically we got a year older and he didn't age much at all. It's all relative.

I think is does something to dispel the notion that Fleck is pushing players out, that said we still need ~5 players to transfer/medically retire/etc

Fingers crossed

What would occur if we did not have enouhj scholarships for 5 people who signed LOIs? Is there a penalty for doing so?

 

[hungan1]

Is it confirmed we need five scholie players trimmed on the roster?

It always magically works out.

I think some kids who signed a LOI would be SOL, but I wouldn’t worry about it - I have a good feeling about this working out.

So...he lost a year?

So...he lost a year?

Wonder where he placed it?

With Howard coming back, I assume PJ had one too many difficult conversations before they checked their math, or someone unexpected decided to leave.


I'd like to picture PJ having a group conversations with about 15 guys.

"I need 8 of you 15 guys to leave or sign medical retirement waivers. I don't care who. None of you are playing here anymore. You all suck.​

Figure it out among yourselves. I don't have time for your crap.​

​

Submit your list to me by sliding it under the office door. I have a vacation to attend to."​

PJ literally pushed Howard out the door. Realized he was one guy short and pulled him back in. Incredible determination. Spiritually, mathematically, athletically and emotionally--PJ IS ELITE.

Pretty sure it’s more than five.

Not sure if your talking out of ur a$$ or not but it’s not funny either way.

Don't need rumors that PJ pushed Howard out the door. Coaches son in Iowa (Brian) will jump all over that.

I imagine a Hunger Games situation. Lock them in a room with an ice pick, bow and arrow, and pellet gun. The 8 left at the end get to stay.

That explains how we sometimes have an extra scholarship --- one too many dies in the battle royale

Lighten up Francis

Amen! I realize there isn’t a sarcasm font, but it boggles my mind sometimes what sails over some heads.

An Iowa coach will effectively use a random message board rumor against the gophers?

If past history is an indication, I wouldn't put it past him.

Careful now. Some actually believe this...

He could try...but would it mean anything?

 

[GridironGus]

Wonder where he placed it?

I'm sure he'll find it in the last place he looks.
