When P.J. Fleck arrived in Minnesota, he told fans recruiting was the blood line of every successful program. Since taking over as the Gophers’ head coach in 2017, Fleck has consistently injected talent into the roster. Upon his arrival, Minnesota clearly needed to add offensive line and wide receiver recruits. Within two years, he has completely flipped those positions. Wide receiver Rashod Bateman became one of the top pass catchers in the country. Bateman teamed up with Chris Autman-Bell (2017 class) and Tyler Johnson (2016 class) to create a dynamic wide receiver trio.
