Would guess he knows somebody younger is going to get the playing time that he wants.

Re: Players Gone from 2019 team
This is how the Portal Era will work out. Kids have a lot more flexibility to find playing time. I don’t like them leaving, but I do like the opportunity to pick up talent like Sterk or Williams who are real players stuck on a depth chart. I think we gain more than we lose potentially with the portal, kids develop physically so much the first two years, may find a sleeper.

Re: Players Gone from 2019 team
You are right - a lot in the class have left. I really wish we still had James Williams as he would 100% start this year … Safety Putney would have been nice if he stuck around (or even showed up) and same with OL Donny Long (now at Sac State) - but that is life …
That class still produced:
Ifanse
Askleson
Bauman
both Gibson twins
Snell
Sumner
Deines
Estes
Hardy
Filer
Lots of talent in that class still here honestly

Karl's gonna use his last year of eligibility at Western. Good luck!

Re: Players Gone from 2019 team
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think FBS dropdowns have always been able to come in and play right away. We didn't gain anything in that regard. Where we potentially gain is straight-across FCS transfers. Those guys used to have to sit out 1 year, now they don't.superbobcat wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 11:38 amThis is how the Portal Era will work out. Kids have a lot more flexibility to find playing time.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

The old transfer rules still apply to the portal. FCS to FCS have to sit a year.91catAlum wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 1:42 pmCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I think FBS dropdowns have always been able to come in and play right away.

The only thing the portal does is make it so a player can leave without having to talk to his coach, basically. Nothing changes in terms of eligibility.

He stuck it out at MSU, hurt all last year. I can't blame him, he's going to do well down there. Good Luck to Mr. Tucker!VimSince03 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 1:26 pm

Isn't that his brother who went to a ND jc?
While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

They had a pretty rough year. There’s several kids from the Bozeman, southwest Montana area, and eastern Montana that play there.

Ditto, but I also don't blame the kid. He probably just really wanted to play football (Not just some special team plays), and I'm sure he'll have a great chance to compete for a starting roll at Western.The Big Meowski wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 1:56 pmSame also.
