Bummer, I was hoping he might hold out for a year
Does this mean we lose @BobcatBuiltTexan too?? That’d be a real tragedy for the BN team!
@BobcatBuiltTexan has entered the transfer portal after careful consideration with his family.....
I hope you still come around man. You're analysis is awesome.

Keep telling myself over and over in my head…. If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all…
Hahaha
Thank god we got the trophy back in bozeman, otherwise this would have been a pretty painful couple weeks of the “with that being said” period.

So far no surprises. I think we all knew we would loose Williams and possibly 1-2 more db’s.
Just lurking and watching portal news, but this is the second time today that I’ve seen a cat fan/student misspell “lose” as “loose”. Is this some sort of inside joke or does MSU not have an English department?
Make sure you invite your gris tennis team to the spelling bee

I was hoping Jhase would stay another year, but Carr and ThomasIII will be two solid starters.

I guess this is the downside to depth, like with Trimble. I think the TX db's saw a great opportunity to increase their stock, and took it. I'm sure they're all getting offers. I think we'll lose others, not because their phones are ringing off the hook, but they've seen the writing on the wall regarding where they sit on the depth chart.

We have an English department AND inside jokes. That's why we now spell "grisLLies" with 2 BIG Ls.

Yall some funny folks in here.... I'll will be around and give the analysis when I can.
Again he isn't my family but I am fond of him and his game. I think he got a raw deal not being put up for frosh AA but it is what it is.
When I saw the tweet I hit his dad up and he said that it really was a hard decision as jhase really likes msu, and the winters aren't too bad for him lolol, but he really wants to be on the biggest stage he can get to. The money isn't an issue for them, both parents are college educated and have good jobs.... his dad also wanted everyone to know, because msu has been so good to his son, that it was truly something that they decided when they got back to Texas today and again it was a tough decision to make. He also said he might come back if his son doesn't like what the other schools have to offer program wise and development wise.
Edit...... he said the out pouring of gratitude is very humbling... makes the decision even harder

I think this is a key point of the open communication Vigen has expressed. And also why things went sour with Scottre last year. He wasn’t open with the coaches, didn’t get the offers he expected, but he burned the bridge to Bozeman. Open, adult communication is the key and I can respect that.

Gotta take what you can get with the Texas boys. During the Vigen era they've seemed very motivated to jump off this stepping stone quickly which has often resulted in strong, ahead of schedule, performances. Keep 'em coming!
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

I can't say for sure, but I'd be absolutely shocked if he left this off-season.

It looked like the Cats were gutted last year and here we are with a National Championship trophy. Every team is going through this. It will be fine. We have players ready to step up and fill these spots.
