The Gophers add to their quarterback room With only two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster this spring, head coach P.J. Fleck and co. were likely to dip into the transfer portal for another signal caller to bridge the gap between sixth-year senior Max Brosmer and true freshman Drake Lindsey. They appear to have found their man, with Virginia Tech quarterback Dylan Wittke announcing Tuesday night that he will be transferring to Minnesota. He will have four years of eligibility remaining.

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.

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

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
