Does not follow:
Jake Sessions
Jered Padmos
But both of those boys are good to go on their verbals. I'm surprised there is no Payton O'Reilly action. Also, there are about 15 more kids from Montana that could be preferred walk-on candidates. It was a deep linebacker/defensive line crop this year.

Gabe Sulser is only a sophomore and is small but I have never seen another player like him. Just explosive and runs through so many arm tackles. Have no idea how he would lean.

Boom, boom, boom, boom. (My best John Lee Hooker impersonation).Are the coaches playing along with the verbal commit game on Twitter? Following all of them and not hearing much. Or are we in for a new stealthier approach to recruiting?

So if Armstrong is more like Mac, will Chase Barta be looked at again? Chase was recruited heavily by Mac when he was here; Eck basically told him that he didn’t consider him as a PWO. I know he has committed to Tech, time will tell.

Sulser's sister runs track for the Griz. Only a redshirt freshman and contributing already. Probably a long shot to see Gabe in the blue and gold in a couple of years.

I predict Chapman and Benson pick MSU.
MSU - 16 team National Champions (most recent 2024); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

I've never seen him play, so I have to agree with you guys. But what is the reasoning? He has some incredible stats for sure, although I know that doesn't tell the whole story sometimescats2506 wrote:Have watched him since he was in the 7th grade, I agree.LTown Cat wrote:I've seen plenty of Dane and I just don't see it.

Re: Montana Recruits 2016
I agree on Dane, would be a good NAIA QB. Just not the arm strength needed to play up. I have also seen a few attitude issues pop up in the past, that can't be helping. I really think his future actually is on the basketball court

Re: Montana Recruits 2016
I totally agree, he is one of my little brother's good friends, and I have watched Dane plenty in basketball and sparingly in football, due to bobcat football. He isn't Big Sky caliber, frankly it isn't even close. My comparison is the White kid from Shelby who now plays at Rocky.White was a prized recruit for the griz and he quit before the season started.LTown Cat wrote:I've seen plenty of Dane and I just don't see it.

Re: Montana Recruits 2016
Your correct spring, the arm is lacking and his mobility is really lacking. White struggles with both of these things at Rocky and Dane is very similar in size and style. I mean real similar.spring creek cat wrote:I agree on Dane, would be a good NAIA QB. Just not the arm strength needed to play up.
