Bear Old, OL, Commits!

[kennethnoisewater]

Is he a transfer or freshman?

“ BOZEMAN — Bear Old will have little trouble adjusting to the cold.

Old is a senior offensive lineman for Rabun County High, located in the Northeast Georgia Mountains.”

That's funny that they compare northeast Georgia with Bozeman. But I guarantee he's gonna be the type of guy who walks around all winter in short sleeves. He might be miserable but I'd bet he'll be the guy who says he loves the coldest days.

30 degrees in humidity feels as cold as a calm zero degree day here if you ask me.

Yeah, humid cold is brutal. Cuts like a knife!

Agreed, that's why I was colder in Frisco than I was a few days earlier in MT. I'm sure this kid gets it and welcomes the coldest weather, even if he never admits he's cold. There are so many people in places like Georgia who are dying to be in Montana, and hopefully some of them are good football players like this guy. I don't mean to disparage places like Fargo, but I don't think people in Georgia and Texas and California are dreaming of moving to Eastern North Dakota like they are western Montana. I hope he's one of many who come this way. Intrigued by the west and the mountains and the lifestyle, and they realize they can still play pretty darn good football.

MSU is going to have a really good offensive line for at least the next three years.

Welp.

Welp.

Motherf....

Welp.

Didn't we just offer him a partial? I assume OleMiss is a walk on offer?

[allcat]

Doesn't say committed. We'll see if he signs.

[ND0479]

We need Kola Bad Bear to talk to him!

[Common Cat]

Well it wouldn’t be the first offensive lineman we lost to the SEC…

[BelligerentBobcat]

Welp.

Correct on both counts. We could offer him a full ride now to sweeten it.

I was a little surprised by all the hype people were giving him on BN. A partial scholarship out of state player usually doesn't get that much attention, so I suspect the uniqueness of his name played a little part of the excitement.

Well I mean, look at that kids frame, he's going to be a monster.

The fact that an SEC school is interested suggests that the hype might have been warranted.

Yes, his name and the fact that he's 6'5", 280 and getting SEC offers it what excites me the most.

Feels like we should change the end of this thread from ! to ?

I’d bet that his 4 FBS (one SEC) and 5 FCS roster offers are based on his 6’5” 280 pounds of 3-sport, 3-year All-Region body of work and potential rather than his name.

Still think the hype was unwarranted. I'll leave it at that.

It’s a two page thread? Almost a full page of which is talking about if there is too much hype.
I don’t think a 1+ page thread about a commit can be considered overhyped.

I thought out of state players were full ride or walk on. Isn't that why Eastern can offer all those partials to Washington kids but we can't?

no....we can absolutely offer partial scholarships to out of state kids, and I know we've had a had a handful of those. Kevin Kassis being the most notable in my mind.
