2016 MSU Recruiting - 37 (13 Full/3 Part./12 PWO/9 Tranfers)

[VimSince03]

Tiano Tialavea will actually be getting a visit from MSU coaches, not an official visit to Bozeman. Misinterpreted his tweet. Still good!

[kwcat]

We have interest in former 3-star and current JUCO WR Marquis Wimberly, who was been at Chaffey College the past two years. 6'2", 205 lbs. and explosive.

Holy cow! 45" vertical

[kwcat]

Have interest in JUCO WR Quest Truxton from Golden West College.

I like his speed through cuts on special teams returns.

Looking at Twitter, it sounds like BJ Robertson is out in Eastern Montana at the moment.

All four were All-State in Class A.

As is OL Brian Greene. I'll take down Alford.

Looking through Rivals.yahoo, I came across the name Donovan Garner. Says that he signed a LOI January 2nd out of the College of the Siskiyous. Did I miss this one somewhere?

The list has started to get much smaller due to other prospects committing this weekend. If the kids committed somewhere, I basically removed them. Again, these are just kids on twitter. Not every kid has a twitter account so this is in no way, shape, or form a complete list. This is just what I have seen from these kids on twitter. The picture will become even more clear after we figure out who is coming on a visit these last two weeks. If I see that a kid is visiting from announcing it on twitter, I will report it. But if Colter finds out and reports it on Skyline, I won't just throw it on here. Go subscribe!

Quarterback
Blake Gregory 6'3", 170 lbs. QB WA Sammamish (2-star) (Visited MSU 1/15-1/17)
Chris Murray 6'4", 195 lbs. QB CA Lawndale (Visiting within last two weeks; offers from EWU and us and will most likely decide between the two)
Eric Barriere 6'0", 185 lbs. QB CA La Habra (3-star) (offers from NAU, UNC, Hawaii, EWU, Sac State)
Jack Telenko 6'2", 202 lbs. QB CA Los Alamitos (2-star) (holds offer from MSU and has a wide array of interest from all levels)
Darius Vines 6'1", 180 lbs. QB CA Ventura (2-star) (holds an offer from MSU and EWU)
Hank Hughes 6'3", 185 lbs. QB TX Richardson (2-star) (holds an offer from MSU and many others; decommited from William & Mary back in December)
Kamden Brown 6'2" 190 lbs. QB CA Covina (has interest from MSU; is followed by Choate and Pitre on twitter; no known offer)

- All these quarterbacks are still in the hunt if you ask me. Not a bad problem to have!

This is an awesome list Vim. Thank you for creating it. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could opine on which of these quarterbacks would be the best one to get of the bunch. I feel like a lot of posters are pretty high on Chris Murray, but my favorite is Blake Gregory. He looks like a really good prospect. What about Barriere? I hadn't heard about him until I saw your list, but if he's a legit 3 star prospect, then I'd be excited to get him. I realize that the star system isn't a great way to go about it, but I'm not very good at watching tape and seeing whatever it is that you guys see, so I use the star system as a crutch to help me. Which one would you be most excited for us to get?

Signed with MSU-Northern. Even though I pull star ratings from those sites, I wouldn't look too far into them.

Gregory tops them all in my opinion. Underrated athlete who can throw well from the pocket and while rolling to his right and left.

I emailed Rivals a couple times to take him off and to put our correct logo up. Zero response.

More prospects:

Brenden Schooler 6'3", 190 lbs. FS CA Mission Viejo
Jaylen Moore 6'0", 170 lbs. CB CA Murrieta
Richard Hampton 6'3", 225 lbs. OLB CA Hayward (2-star) (Got a visit from MSU yesterday)
Logan Backhaus 6'4", 200 lbs. OLB IA Spirit Lake (Visiting NDSU this weekend)
Randy Rodriguez 6'3", 240 lbs. DL AZ Peoria
Jett Sexton 6'8", 280 lbs. OT MO West Plains
Isaac Steele 6'2", 180 lbs. DB AZ Peoria (2-star)
Roman Ale 6'2", 175 lbs. QB CA Harbor City (2-star) (Has an offer from Sac State)
Jotavi Leuta-Ulu 6'3", 310 lbs. DT OR Beaverton
Cedric Byrd 5'11", 170 lbs. WR CA Harbor City

It also looks like we are tyring to bring in a JUCO WR as the offensive coaching staff has followed about five in the past few days.

Coach Choate and Pitre took a visit to 6'4", 295 lb. DT Kainoa Fuiava yesterday. Kainoa may look like a teddy bear in his photo but he sure doesn't play like one.

Thank you @CoachChoate_MSU and @Coach_Pitre for checking up on me #GoBobcats #MontanaState

WR/OLB Chris Hunter got a visit from Coach Ioane yesterday.

I'm really surprised we are going after a JUCO WR . . . I feel that Herbert, Paige, Jashawn, Sullivan, Brown, and the younger guys Sutton and Stephens are good enough to hold down that spot. I'd rather see us go after Hadley and get him some at least a partial scholarship if we are going to target another WR . . . You don't see a lot of 6-6 athletes in Montana that can run as good as Hadley. And like Vim says, he really really wants to be a bobcat.

Don't worry, it isn't like we aren't recruiting Hadley. Nearly every coach follows him on twitter and Matt Miller started to follow his mother and sister yesterday (wow I need to take a break after Feb. 3). But anyway connect the dots. He is coming on a visit here the 29th.

As for the JUCO WR's, I saw us bringing in one mostly due to the speed factor. Herbert and Sullivan are good big bodied receivers and Paige, Brown, and Gates are burners. Sutton and Stephens will only be redshirt freshman and they have a ton of talent but bringing in another fast receiver does not hurt your offense. Why not get Hadley AND a JUCO transfer?

[bobcat99]

We have a lot of WR's, but we don't have a game breaker. We need one, IMO. Look at how much guys like Jamaal Jones or Ellis Henderson helped the Griz for example. We don't have anybody like that.
