Now that he is in the Big Ten, very few coaches are going to outhustle P.J. Fleck on the recruiting trail. Minnesota having 13 commitments before May, though, is still an awfully impressive feat for a coach just four months on the job. The fact that four of those commitments have been convinced to leave the state of Georgia for the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and each had multiple other Power Five options besides Minnesota, augments that accomplishment. Linquist heads Minnesota’s recruiting efforts in the state of Georgia and deserves a lot of credit. He also helps recruit most of the Gophers' defensive back targets, and played a role in landing their first commit in the class, three-star in-state cornerback Benjamin Sapp.
