2021 Minnesota Offseason Thread

Wow, didn't see this coming.  Think Fleck might be regretting how he chose to cash in his 13-0 chips?

Train Wreck Fleck.

Nice ring to it.

let's not pretend like this kid was all world or anything like that. 41% completion and 4 TD's vs 7 INT's. Those are some J'OKe numbers. Minus about 3 TD's a'course.

No, but it's never good when a guy would rather transfer than be your starting QB.  It's not like Speight left after being named starter.

And if Minnesota had a better option, they'd play him.  This kid at least had moments.  He looked great against MSU in the fourth quarter and against Nebraska.  Flashes is more than any other Minnesota QB showed.

Probably shouldn't mention "trains" when discussing Minnesota's off the field shenanigans. 

[Mdot21]

they are getting a JUCO transfer at QB named Victor Viramontes (6'2, 240). Viramontes was a one time Michigan commit but he flipped to his hometown Cal towards the end of NSD. Transferred out of Cal after only one year there, which is understandable. He committed to play for Sonny Dykes, Dykes got fired, Wilcox took over and Viramontes wasn't Wilcox's guy at QB so he transferred. Happens all the time when there are coaching changes.

I'd bet that Viramontes will wind up being their starter. He's a big athlete that can really run. Might wind up being an upgrade over what they had at QB in 2017.

I He's a big athlete that can really run. 

maybe he should check into transferring to play for Scott Frost

Based on his tweet from late last night, Croft transferring is addition by subtraction.

How so? I don't understand or I'm missing something.

I also didn't realize he was a RS sophomore.  Thought he was a true freshman for some reason.  That changes a lot if that's what he looked like in his third year in the program vs. his first.

 He thanked the Minnesota Department of Education for his time at the U, then blamed his forced exit on being falsely accused of punching through a dorm door. 
The MDE doesn't handle any college administration at the state level, and Croft's suspension earlier this season was for a positive drug test. Bye. 
The door did indeed hit Croft in the ass on the way out.

I really don't have a response to this yet, but I'm trying.

Good to get rid of guys like that, for sure.
