My guess is he'll develop as a defensive tackle or fullback. He is certainly not a FCS linebacker but I think there could be something there on the defensive line.

No, Junior already has multiple offers. Air Force Academy, MSU, um, and NAU.Montanabob wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 6:59 pmMaybe the same answer Tyson was told, put on 30 pounds and we'll talk.
Scout traits, not production.Cataholic wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 6:40 pmI am admittedly a Cat homer, but doesn’t it look like the Cats clearly have the better in-state recruiting Class? Here is an article with both programs Montana recruits and how they fared this past season. I would classify at least 3 of the Griz commits as “developmental prospects” based on their production this season.

At the moment, Dylan will be choosing between Oregon State, BYU, and now Minnesota. Not that they weren't already but the chances of him going to MSU are almost nonexistent. Awesome to see a talented MT product get his due with FBS recruitment. Many before him have not.
I hope he picks the Gophers over OSU and BYU. Minnesota is down from a very good season last year, but I think they'll continue to improve under Fleck. I don't see OSU doing much and BYU is good at times, but not a mainstream school.VimSince03 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 10:41 pmAt the moment, Dylan will be choosing between Oregon State, BYU, and now Minnesota.

Yeah. I would say with very rare exception, every Montana recruit is very developmental. The differences in training, and nutrition, is pretty extreme. Plus competition level.Cataholic wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 2:17 pmThat makes sense, but isn’t that the definition of developmental?bobcat99 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:48 amScout traits, not production.Cataholic wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 6:40 pmI am admittedly a Cat homer, but doesn’t it look like the Cats clearly have the better in-state recruiting Class?

This is exactly why MSU got a generational talent like Troy Andersen. The obscurity of hidden diamonds like him works to the advantage of both schools sometimes...bobcat99 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 9:40 amYeah.

There’s a lot of reasons scouting stats in MT is difficult. You have teams that run the Wing-T, which just doesn’t translate to college. The running stats are extreme, the passing stats are non-existent. That’s just one example.
So that’s why I say you scout traits more than stats. Are they athletic? Does that show up on tape? Are they instinctive? Do they produce on tape when given the chance? Are the players around them a lot better than the opposing team? Are the players around them a lot worse than the opposing team? Are they playing the same position they will in college? Do they have the size to realistically succeed at the next level? Lot of variables. Very difficult.
