He has a shot to be a very good linebacker. He is very good at dropping back into the passing lanes. I watched him jump 30-35 inches in the air to snag an interception vs Missoula Sentinel.

I like Hill. Everyone's talking about Daum, Sims and Holden being the best in the state. I think Hill belongs in that group.

The Griz actually have a very solid recruiting class building up. However, I do agree that we are winning Montana once again. I also believe that Holden Ryan and Jesse Sims will go FBS and Colin Bingham will go to the Griz so if that scenario plays out, we have won Montana for recruiting.

I'd rather have their recruit at DE than both of the in-state commits that we have at that position. I don't think either of them run a 4.8. However, they may be able to put on weight and play in the middle and be outstanding recruits.

I believe we can land a stud DE in the next three weeks but comparing our two current players (borderline half schollie guys) to Cody Baker (a 3 star) is not a fair comparison so of course I would rather have their guy. However, I agree that Rollins and Ferriter can develop into great players because they come from the Montana mold of "work your butt off everyday and earn that full scholarship." Just remember, he hasn't put pen to paper yet so we could still steal him from the guys west of the continental divide! \:D/

Has anyone heard if Ferriter is still committed now that the Griz have named Mike Ferriter as their wide receivers coach?

As far as we all know, he is still committed to play for the Bobcats. Remember, his brother is an All-Big Sky thrower for the MSU track team. Mike Ferriter is a cousin.

I would assume so, unless UM is planning on adding a ChemE program sometime in the near future.

Well, Baker is going to visit MSU, so you never know. Remember Brekke and John Katanga'a who switched from an MSU commit to UM after a visit

I would assume so, unless UM is planning on adding a ChemE program sometime in the near future.

Yeah, I knew his brother threw for the Cats, but I remember reading the article when he committed where he stated he was a Griz fan when he was younger because his cousins Mike and Vince Huntsberger played for the Griz. I was just curious whether the Griz were again showing an interest now that Mike Ferriter is coaching for them.

I think Chemical Engineering is the major factor in this discussion. The Griz don't have that major thus he probably won't go to Missoula.

Does it make much sense to continue to beat the Griz in the in-state battle for Montana kids even if they continue to whoop us in the brawl?

Unless you want to just give up, then yes. I think we've whooped up on ourselves at least as much as the grizz have whooped up on us. When we start getting through the season with just the average amount of injuries that team typically endures we'll do much better late in the year.

Yes. I don't know if this is a serious question or not but the answer is yes. I don't think we want to recruit MT kids just for the sake of recruiting them if there are better players available from TX, CA, ND, Poland, or wherever... but we do want to beat UM head to head in the in state recruiting battles. "Continue to whoop us" is a bit of a stretch, and yes we all feel the pain from the November disaster in Missoula. Before that, we'd won two of the last four and five of the last 12. Fairly even. We all know if a healthy Prukop starts that game we are dead even over the past 12 years.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

We have 10 Montana players committed so far and we've used maybe six scholarships at most on them. That's good bang for the buck considering the players we got.
