Way too early to start having these discussions but I promise you Taco will not be red shirting.

Re: Montana Recruits 2022
I know Jake Rendina has offers from Army and Air Force, but if the Cats get this kid…..watch out. He is a beast for being a senior in high school. This is could do some amazing things at MSU. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I think he would be a great replacement for RJ Fitzgerald

Re: Montana Recruits 2022
I was surprised there were no commitments after last weekends game. I bunch of recruits came and sat behind us in section 116 during the 2nd half.

I thought I heard that last weekend was a big in-state weekend for recruits. I’d imagine we’re are bring in some out of state kids this weekend.

I’m not sure where you could play him except FB.
He’s an impressive athlete in regards to weight lifting and production, I somewhat question his fit in college FB. Somewhat reminiscent of Levi Janacaro a few years back, stronger, but slower as well.

Re: Montana Recruits 2022
He has bulked up significantly in the past 2 years, but he has the underlying athleticism to succeed and whichever college program he goes with get him on a weight program that will do better things for Jake than the powerlifting regimen he’s been on. He’ll get significantly faster. I see an RJ style role as well, but I’ve been watching Jake for a lot of years and the kid is an athlete. He’s not just big.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 10:10 pmI’m not sure where you could play him except FB.

Just because they’re recruits doesn’t meant they’ve been offered. I don’t think there are that many offers out there really.

Deadlifting and Squating DO make you faster. Vastly improved acceleration means faster times. https://www.completetrackandfield.com/d ... ing-speed/ "Moreover, every study showed the value of building a heavy squat or deadlift and the positive effects it had on the quadriceps, vertical force production, and acceleration levels which are important for all sprinters and athletes.

Re: Montana Recruits 2022
This is correct, but it also needs some context. If your focus is say, power lifting, you’re probably doing more low rep high weight which won’t build as much acceleration as high rep and lower weight would. Otherwise powerlifters would be very fast, and typically, their movement skills aren’t necessarily the best. You can be too bulky to move well.Norsky19 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:49 amDeadlifting and Squating DO make you faster.

I think one of the best physical measurements for acceleration is vertical jump, which can be influenced by your Olympic lifts. You see a guy with really good Olympic lift numbers and a high vertical, pretty much guaranteed good acceleration.

Not all workouts are created equal. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Jake has done anything wrong or should have done things different. He’s a great athlete and a great kid and success on the power lifting scene is awesome too. My point was that if he chooses a good football program with a next-level strength/conditioning coach, they’ll maximize what is already built. If I had to predict the future, he’ll lean out a little, and get faster.

This is only if he is able to improve and hold his overall top end speed. Someone can go 0-60 in 2 seconds but if their top end is only geared for 65 it’s not gonna end well for them.Norsky19 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:49 amDeadlifting and Squating DO make you faster.

I have only seen a couple highlights of him and he is as everyone says he is, strong. I don’t see him as a running back, but I could see him as power Dline guy or an outstanding offensive center, similar to the kid that came from Butte as a running back and was an outstanding center for the Cats (forget his name).

The biggest knock on him that I heard from a couple different college coaches now is lateral quickness.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 10:10 pmI’m not sure where you could play him except FB.

Re: Montana Recruits 2022
Power lifting is also about huge amounts of food (if you want to be any good at it). Between the very low reps and the heavy high calorie food you tend not to move well. Once my metabolism finally shifted allowing me to gain the weight I needed to lift heavy my Golf game and my bowling went in the tank. Not to mention the constant injuries and damaged muscles and joints. A powerlifter lives in the 1-3 rep range. If you want speed and agility you need to be in the higher rep ranges.

Re: Montana Recruits 2022
I still lift with the same, even higher, intensity but I had to reduce the weights after my heart surgery. Many years of 10K-12K calories (and not lean calories) and tons of steroids took it's toll. Open heart surgery almost three years ago. It's weird, at almost 64 I could still lift heavy if it wasn't for the surgery. Now I can only eat limited calories, protein, sugar, salt, fat and no pre-workout, no steroids and no creatine, etc. I was always hurt. The steroids main purpose was recovery from injury. I got to the point that if you cut off my head I would just grow a new one.allcat wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 12:14 pmTo us mortals this seems crazy.
