Per Rand:

Mentioning the collective was hardly some sort of happy coincidence, just as there was a lot of intention earlier this year when Fleck warned of what might happen to the Gophers' roster without NIL donations.

"If we want to keep players ... all these guys we have, they won't be here next year," Fleck said on a radio show recording in late September in front of Minnesota fans. "I'm making sure everybody understands. ... They won't be here. We'll be a Triple-A ballclub for somebody else. That is the reality and the truth of the situation. So, please contact Dinkytown Athletes."

Fighting to keep Taylor, Jackson and Walley might not be the sort of recruiting battle he envisioned seven years ago, but those players might end up being the most important members of this year's class.


Go Gophers!!
