Fake news!I believe Bateman is leaving.
No, I hear he may even be drafted.Fake news!
Man I hope he doesn't get assigned to front line infantry....No, I hear he may even be drafted.
He's a conscientious objector. He opted out.Man I hope he doesn't get assigned to front line infantry....
Someone posted a Burns post/blog/tweet (not sure which) talking about his predictions for DL rotation over the next two seasons, and included MDT and Schad for next year.With Hickcox going into the transfer portal, curious if anyone ever saw any actual confirmation that MDT and Schad are returning?
I don't have the post but I am very confident that MDT has declared he is coming back. Schad I believe has also confirmed he is returning. Teague is up in the air but some plugged in posters seem pretty convinced he is retiring from football. Just don't think he has made it official yet.With Hickcox going into the transfer portal, curious if anyone ever saw any actual confirmation that MDT and Schad are returning?
The number of players listed on the Transfer Portal must give some of these guys pause. You don't want to get "stuck" in the portal without a paddle or a boat.I don't have the post but I am very confident that MDT has declared he is coming back. Schad I believe has also confirmed he is returning. Teague is up in the air but some plugged in posters seem pretty convinced he is retiring from football.

I assume you meant Justus Harris. Hope he comes back.Been kind of quiet in terms of news. Anyone on the paysites or more plugged in on Twitter have any additional insight into any of these guys?
Undeclared: - Key guys in bold
Teague - retiring ?
Swenson
Thompson
McDonald
Kieft
Schoenfeld
Witham
Faalele
Harris
Care to elaborate on what you know?D'vion Harris doesn't seem like a huge loss, based on what I know.
Yeah the Harris on the list is Justus not D'Vion.I assume you meant Justus Harris. Hope he comes back.
Looks like D'Vion Harris, a DE in the 2019 class, has entered the transfer portal: https://247sports.com/college/minne...ters-NCAA-Transfer-Portal-PJ-Fleck-159034207/

I posted this on the Transfer Portal thread, but I am kinda bummed to see D'Vion leave. He had great offers coming out of HS and I was excited to see what he could do. It makes me wonder what he saw competition-wise at DE in the true freshman (and maybe incoming class) and whether that made him leave. Obviously Mafe and Big O return, but have to wonder if he felt passed by Jah Joyner, Jalen Logan-Redding and Ali Saad? Or maybe he saw the writing on the wall with Austin Booker and Deven Eastern coming in as well.Care to elaborate on what you know?
Wasn't a guy in the projected two deep going into his third year.Care to elaborate on what you know?
I dunno, with patience and development he would’ve had a great chance of a lot of play time his final two years. No idea why he is leaving but if it’s a play time thing it seems short sighted to me. There’s not going to be a lot of landing spots that can promise him anything better at the FBS level.Wasn't a guy in the projected two deep going into his third year.
Maybe he would rather transfer down and play than take a chance on not playing. Playing at a lower than big ten is fineI dunno, with patience and development he would’ve had a great chance of a lot of play time his final two years.

After a redshirt year he played in one game for a fairly weak DL. What I know is he wasn’t good enough to get opportunities, even with guys out due to Covid.Care to elaborate on what you know?
There is a clear delineation between middling tier and upper tier P5 football. Any player would be an instant impact player for the Gophers on either team. I'd take Naji Harris or their star WR. Speed kills!It was enjoyable watching the talent level of the players and coaching last night. Man if that doe not give a person perspective on the status college teams level of talent and coaching, nothing will. Its like watching a large school football program play some average out state team. Unless there is some method of spreading out talent more evenly, we will continue to have big dreams every year.
Clearly saw it last night with Alabama making a statement for the upper tier.There is a clear delineation between middling tier and upper tier P5 football. Any player would be an instant impact player for the Gophers on either team. I'd take Naji Harris or their star WR. Speed kills!
NoCould the Gophers beat Alabama if they were allowed to have a 12th guy on the field? Both sides of a ball.
TJ6 and AW11?Could the Gophers beat Alabama if they were allowed to have a 12th guy on the field? Both sides of a ball.
For the Gophers to compete with a team like Alabama right now it would take Alabama making a lot of mistakes. The x-factor in football is always turnovers. We would need some help to hang with them, but anything can happen one time out of 100. That Alabama team is special though and they are loaded at pretty much every position on the field.Could the Gophers beat Alabama if they were allowed to have a 12th guy on the field?
