It’s been a strange summer for recruiting, with the NCAA effectively shutting down campus visits due to the ongoing spread of COVID-19. The Minnesota Golden Gophers haven’t had a recruit verbally commit since May 30, but head coach P.J. Fleck and co. have been dealt a handful of decommitments in the months since. It’s certainly going to be a challenging process moving forward for coaches and recruits alike.
The Gophers currently have 15 players committed in a 2021 recruiting class that ranks 22nd nationally and sixth in the Big Ten, according to 247 Sports. We’ll break it down position by position to give you an idea of where things stand now and how the shape of the class could change between now and December.
