For some reason, I never envisioned him playing the oline. I guess I just see him as a dlineman. I’m sure he will do fine.

Wasn't working out on the dline. He actually was a better olineman than his brother in high school.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 3:37 pmFor some reason, I never envisioned him playing the oline. I guess I just see him as a dlineman. I’m sure he will do fine.

I guess he's about the same body type as Redd. They do however like taller O'linemen, Centers notwithstanding.

4) Will the real Demarius Hosey please stand up?
Going from the #3 back as a true freshman in 2019 to a rarely used depth piece in 2021, I'm curious to see how Hosey runs the ball in the spring game. Once again, he isn't the #3 back as Lane Sumner has gotten the #1 carries this spring as Isaiah and Elijah recover from injuries. Garrett Coon has pushed for reps as well but the coaches are challenging Hosey to beat out guys like Sumner and even Elliot. With the addition of Williams and if Ifanse recovers this fall, it may look like Hosey is the #5 back again if he doesn't beat out Lane this spring. Also throw in the fact they aren't afraid to use Jaharie as a running back as well in situations.
Vim, a question for you regarding the above BOLDED statement from your previous post. Ever since the NC Game I ponder if we have a similar Hunter Luepke on our roster, so what are your thoughts Jaharie being that type of back? He seems to absolutely love contact and isn't afraid of engaging, extremely highlighted by simply watching him on kickoff's last season. I realize we do not run the same style of offense as NDSU and the Luepke kid is special but rather than trying to continually finding the next Ifanse could MSU bring in a bruiser like Martin then also use Elliot in his speed skill set the relieve Ifanse and reduce carries? Hammering defenders early in the game with Jaharie may really set up Ifanse later in the game to be more effective with less touches.

But, based off of the National Championship game I couldnt tell if he was that good or not. Now, I cannot and have never been able to hit as hard as he can. But, even I could of scored a few TDs through the holes the o line opened up.VimSince03 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 3:22 pm

Re: Spring Ball 2022
That brings up a very good point and concept. We have a pretty bruising backfield where multiple backs can be used to deliver those body blows early without leaning on Ifanse. Particularly Sumner and Martin. I think Sumner is quite underrated. In my opinion, first half use of the stable of backs (including the QB’s toting the rock) keeps Ifanse’s legs fresh for the 4th quarter punches when he routinely is getting 5-8 yards a pop. If you could reduce the hits on him by 60-70%, a 15-16 game season is suddenly manageable. A season where your best back is allowed to take over the 4th quarter of games because his body is able to do it.topshelfthepuck wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 8:19 amVimSince03 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 3:22 pm

Re: Spring Ball 2022
Callahan, Nolan, Danny U, and Alex Johnson make up the two-deep. A very solid group of four. Behind them is a battle between McCade O'Reilly, Jory Choate, Cooper Thomas, and Jace Fitzgerald. Neil Daily is currently out with an injury it looks like but he can factor into that group as well.

Re: Spring Ball 2022
Actually, Neil Daily played in the scrimmage last Saturday and had a couple of outstanding plays in a row. The defensive players on the sidelines were jacked and were calling out his name. I believe he was No. 19. He has good size and sure looks the part.VimSince03 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 12:27 pm

Re: Spring Ball 2022
Shoot...I was given wrong information then. Apologies to Neil. But I'll follow up with saying Neil is definitely a player to circle as a kid who could factor into the LB group sooner than later. He's going to be Troy's size here soon and he's a great athlete.HelenaCat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 2:26 pmActually, Neil Daily played in the scrimmage last Saturday and had a couple of outstanding plays in a row.

Re: Spring Ball 2022
No problem. I saw him on the sidelines and kept wondering who he was (as I said, he sure looks the part). But when he made a couple of big plays in a row, I heard his name and then confirmed on a roster someone had. I think he could be a real good one!VimSince03 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 3:08 pmShoot...I was given wrong information then. Apologies to Neil.

Re: Spring Ball 2022
Food for thought. What would it take for MSU to make this spring game a big event. Get 10K+ fans in attendance. Does anybody think thats possible? Try to create a new tradition for the spring game.

Re: Spring Ball 2022
They would have to play someone else. If they brought in Western or Tech I think you would certainly raise interest. But I don't think they'll ever get 10k to a spring game.

Re: Spring Ball 2022
Well wasn't that the Great falls scrimmage that was cancelled? Won't happen because Choate and Vigen want to down play the spring schedule. Unless you had a full contact game with say Portland like griz did, you aren't getting more that a 2000 fans and that won't happen because they don't want the injury risk. I am just happy if they actually broadcast the game or tape delay it.

Re: Spring Ball 2022
I don't know what goes on at the spring game besides the game but I think you'd need some other activities/events.
Have an alumni game during "halftime". Kids flag football games before/after the game. Concert with local MT bands. Brew fest. Live auction of game worn jerseys from previous season.
In short, make the spring game about more than the game.
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Saturday's 1st Team Oline:
LT: Rush Reimer
LG: JT Reed
C: Justus Perkins
RG: Marcus Wehr
RT: TJ Session
Reed has been taking 1st reps at LG basically all camp and Marcus Wehr has quickly acclimated back to Oline and added some good weight to get 1st reps at RG. Guys like Holden Sampson and Jacob Kettels will get looks at several spots as well.
