With absolutely no insight on who this might be, my best guess would be another one of the 7 that were in the picture shown as part of the official visit this past weekend. Who else was there? Grant Vigen was. I think someone said Curnow?

People were expressing concern over the lack of commits just a few days ago and now there are as many commits as the Cats had by mid-October last season.

I have a list of about 11 guys that have offers, are followed by Vigen, and are more likely to commit to the Cats. I think you are correct though, probably one of the players that visited this past weekend.

I've seen Schneider dapping up the other commits on Twitter after they announce. I wonder if Schneider may be, behind the scenes, one of our best recruiters right now :lol: Or it could be Cocke. I'm sure these guys are staying in touch and I wouldn't doubt that they're encouraging each other to commit now that they've met each other at the last visit.

4 is mediocre. Championship quality teams would have 5.

Montana kids there were Grant Vigen, Vaughn Wirkus, Ben Winters, Brady Casagranda, Vinnie Souza, and Curnow.

I don't see that Casagranda has an offer yet, but, obviously, the coaches are recruiting him.

Would be recruiting malpractice if Brady doesn't already have an offer from both the Cats and Griz. I actually think he has one but is keeping his recruitment quiet on SM.

Well, if he was down at a Nevada camp, I would guess the commit isn't him. Unless, he was just looking for offseason reps.

I'm down to this commit being Vigen, Curnow, Winters, Maloff, or Smith. I don't think it's Smith though since he re-posted something about his offers this afternoon but not that he committed anywhere. Casagranda is an option too, but he doesn't have an offer that we know of. Of course, it could be someone else with an offer we don't know about or someone that's still going to camps and just decided to commit anyway.

I was really working on trying to get Ben Winters to come to MSU when I saw Ben's mom the other day. He is also looking at the Griz though, 🙃 but Al Johnson has been in contact with him a lot and Ben has a good relationship with him. I really really want them to get this kid. He's a really quality person from a really great family.

I thought you were the one trying to figure out who this commit is.

Seems unlikely to be Vigen since you'd kinda think that since he's the coach's son he'd post something by now.

I have no real reason but I think he will be a late signee if he goes with the Cats. I feel like he will see what offers come in. It’s not like Dad won’t take him late in the process.

Who are the Casagrande parents? The grandfather taught Education Statistics in the 90s to me. Both of his kids were really good athletes.
