Broke & Newell (SR) LaSane (JR) Dodd, James, Jones (SO) and then we add Tucker (maybe), Pegues, plus Opland in this class.VimSince03 wrote:They want him to be a running back. It is his best position. BUT he is getting just as many accolades at LB as he is getting at RB. The kid can almost run sub-11 sec. 100m dash and the most impressive track stat is his sub-50 sec. 400m dash. One word to describe this Montana class thus far is "versatile."mslacatfan wrote:Sean Opland- I was just watching his highlight tape, he definitely does a little bit of everything, an all-around good athlete.
Any chance he could play Safety??? I wonder if this is one of the positions they will look at for him. He has the speed, really athletic, good size...
On D, we've got Champan and Marks at DE/OLB, a position where we've got a ton of really young talent. (I count 5 sophomore & younger LBs, and 4 DEs)
I'm not unhappy with a single one of those recruits, but the Cats probably only have 4-6 scholarships left, and I don't see a single DT. We probably need 2 CBs and 2 safetys. I think we have 1 of each.
Bottom line, I trust the staff to make good decisions moving forward about the long term health of the team, but I don't see a lot of talent in our weakest areas. I know DT and CB are the two hardest positions to recruit, but does anyone have insight as to why we seem to be short on recruits at our weakest positions, while we add lots more talent at our strongest?
That's why I think Opland will end up on defense.
