What an interesting turn of events Well this is a first. Remember the name Adam Kissayi? You may recall that the three-star defensive end out of Florida committed to Minnesota in June of last year ahead of his senior high school season. About a month later, Kissayi decommitted upon receiving a scholarship offer from Clemson. He committed to and ultimately signed with the Tigers. After enrolling this spring, Kissayi has already punched his ticket out of Clemson, entering the transfer portal and committing to Minnesota within the span of a few hours Sunday. He will be a true freshman when he ar ..read more

Fleck and co. made a splash on Friday by securing a verbal commitment from sought-after linebacker Emmanuel Karmo out of Robbinsdale.

So here is a look at what is going on in St. Paul, and how you can take in the experience. Thursday Events ..read more

Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Not so deep, but a Friday thought dump What is this? This is just a Friday afternoon thought dump. You are encouraged to share your thoughts in the comments. I’m going to start with Gopher hoops. A week ago, Pharrel Payne, Josh Ola-Joseph and Braeden Carrington all announced they intended to transfer, meaning the class of 2022 was a wash. Cam Christie and Dawson Garcia were rumored to be getting significant offers to transfer, leaving just Mike Mitchell and Elijah Hawkins from this past season’s roster. It is impossible to maintain any sort of program consist ..read more

1000% committed Earlier this week, I received a disturbing Slack message from GopherNation: “Write about the recent recruiting comments. Or I will.” Those may not have been his exact words, but they were no less chilling. I knew what needed to be done. I had to get back on the recruiting beat. So here I am, ready to serve the people. Back on Mar. 23, the Minnesota Golden Gophers received their first commitment from the Class of 2025 when safety Zachry Harden decided to climb into the boat with a verbal pledge.
