Gopher Football Recruiting Class of 2016: I Love This Recruiting Class and It Is Still Early

While trying to remain objective and practical and realistic...this current Gopher recruiting cycle could not be going any better.  Would it be better if we had several 5-star commitments launching us into the conversation as one of the top recruiting classes in the county?  Sure, but lets be realistic.  Currently Rivals ranks the Gopher class as 25th in the country, 5th in the Big Ten. 247Sports has us 27th overall and 4th in the conference.  It is VERY EARLY but getting out to a fast start is important and this class is shaping up to be outstanding.

I am not the recruiting expert around her BUT as far as I can tell, in the current recruiting cycle the coaching staff is doing exactly what it needs to be doing to continue to build the Gophers into a solid program.
