Minnesota Gopher Football recruiting needs heading into the 2020 recruiting cycle

The 2019 Recruiting class is in the books

Back to back classes of bringing in 24 or 25 kids and as the roster sits today the team is well over the 85 scholarship limit, meaning several guys currently on the roster will not be once they begin practices in August. Also part of the equation is that there are only 12 scholarship seniors (and 14 juniors for that matter). At some point bringing in classes as large as the 2018 and 2019 classes won’t be an option.

It would be very likely that this incoming class will be comprised of less than 20 kids, maybe closer to 15.
