A look at recent Gophers recruiting classes, from 247sports' composite ranking, and the head coach or coaches who recruited that class:
YearCoach(es)Rank
2018*P.J. Fleck11th
2017Fleck/Tracy Claeys**58th
2016Claeys/Jerry Kill***46th
2015Kill63rd
2014Kill57th
2013Kill66th
2012Kill59th
* As of April 17. The rankings for this class change by the day, but the Gophers have been in the top 15 for weeks.
** Fleck took over at Minnesota on Jan. 6 and closed out the 2017 class before signing day on Jan. 31.
*** Kill retired for health reasons on Oct. 28, 2015, when the 2016 class was coming together. Claeys was interim and then permanent head coach to replace Kill.
The remaining schedule is favorable, but their hopes of a late-season run were dulled by a home loss to the Terrapins.
