Allen Trieu at Scout has an analysis of what Gophers fans can expect of Fleck the recruiter:
Reports are now surfacing that P.J. Fleck will be the next head coach at Minnesota. Fleck has developed a reputation as being an excellent recruiter and he has signed a highly ranked class which has topped the MAC in each of his years in Kalamazoo. Within those classes, there were several impressive, individual recruiting jobs on players who had other opportunities, but signed with the Broncos.
- Asantay Brown was committed to Western Michigan when Minnesota ironically offered and Brown de-committed and had an official visit set to the Twin Cities. Fleck and the Broncos were able to get him to not take the visit and sign with them. He made 103 tackles as a sophomore for the Broncos last season and 83 as a junior this season.
- Offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor had power-five offers when he committed to the Broncos, but following that commitment, Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas and others offered, Michigan State had him up for a visit and many other major programs were in contact. A stressful last two months of recruiting for the big tackle ended with him signing with the Broncos as the highest-ranked MAC offensive line commit ever. Now a junior, he is considered an NFL prospect and one of the key players on the team.
