Yes, it's a BIG deal. How big? Well...
Minnesota's top-rated high school football player in the Class of 2026 and the No. 12-rated "athlete" nationally announced he will be a Golden Gopher.
That's enough to bring some pandemonium to Dinkytown and "Gopher Nation." But the fact Jackson County Central's Roman Voss chose Minnesota over Alabama? Throw a parade!
Or not.
Happy Hour Host John Gaskins breaks down the relevance of this commitment, which includes insight into why Voss chose the Gophers from Kurtiss Riggs, who has worked with Voss at the Sanford Sports Academy in Sioux Falls the last three years. (Jackson is about 90 miles from Sioux Falls.)
So how strong and immediate of an impact can Voss be? How impressed should we be by Fleck's landing the No. 1 prospect in Minnesota each of the last three years, and should the Gophers' expectations be higher than the Quick Lane Bowl and Duke Mayo Bowl?
Another "how big of a deal" news item — Aaron Rodgers announcing today that 2025 will probably be his last NFL season.
The announcement may not be big — he's 41 and it may not turn out to be true — but that should make 2025 an even bigger season for a couple of South Dakota college stars-turned-Steelers: SDSU's Mason McCormick and USD's J.J. Galbreath.
