Missoula Sentinel Pipeline

Rylan Ortt
Zac Crews
JJ Dolan
Adam Jones

Not too shabby. It'll be fun to watch these fellas whip the Griz for a number of years. I think all 4 will have great careers here. Ortt has already contributed, and has a chance to be special for 2 more full seasons. Crews has the pedigree to be an all-timer. Dolan bucking the family tradition of multiple generations of Griz players. Jones is a stud athlete who received a Pac-12 offer to play baseball from Utah. Excited to see them all this spring/fall!

You know things are bad in Missoula when we’re flipping Dolans.

Is there any evidence that Dolan held an offer from UM to “buck tradition” or “flip” from?

I don't think so, but I honestly don't know. Good point, though. My comment was oriented more at the legacy angle, so maybe it wasn't worded in a way that made that clear.

But Rylan Ortt absolutely was a flip. His dad played for the griz in the 90's and Rylan really wanted to go there, but Bob-bay ghosted him. Rylan's family WERE all dyed in the wool, season ticket holder griz.

Dolan felt wanted by MSU’s coaches because they offered him a preferred walk-on spot and contacted him every week. The 6-foot, 175-pounder received no contact from UM until recently, he said, and the Griz didn’t extend an offer beyond a walk-on possibility (non-preferred).

From what I saw on your forum, they didn't even offer him a PWO.

Who recently (lets say, since Choate was hired) was from a Griz family and chose the Cats (or got ghosted by the Griz)? I remember Stitt didn't want a FB so we flipped Fitzgerald family tradition and got RJ and now Jace as well. I didn't know about the Ortt's until just now. And now Dolan. Any others?

Not from Missoula, but Cutler's from Drummond, Fitzgeralds' dad played at UM I believe and three guys from Florence-Carlton. I thought Elijah Reynolds had a UM connection, too. Cole Sain played at UM.

I think there's 4-5 guys from Bozeman/Bozeman-area on UM roster.

How many of the Bozeman area kids that are on the um roster had MSU offers or had family that played for the Cats? I think I know the answer.

I would assume Chris Brown, only one that comes to mind.

Your right, I'd forgotten about them.

Heard from a very close source that MSU rolled out the carpet for JJ and Bobby didn’t really care at all.

Bobby barely recruited him. Great way to treat what could have been a 4th generation Gris who wasn’t asking for a scholarship. Does Hauck even care anymore, or is he just collecting a paycheck? 4 real seasons in (I won’t count 2020) and only a single QF appearance to show for it. That’s awful considering the facilities and fanbase. Joke OOC schedule again next year will set them up for another disappointing finish.

I am curious how the Lang twins ended up in Missoula. That one surprised me. Especially with Kenny’s support of his alma mater.
Was it a Cooper connection? Or did they just want to change of scenery

Similar to Dolan, they weren’t offered by the hometown/legacy school.

Thanks for the info. That’s a head scratcher. At least for a preferred walk on spot

Meh. I don’t think it matters that much. People complained when we didn’t offer Kris Brown too, and well…I think that turned out fine. There’s only so many spots.

15 years ago, the Griz were doing this in Bozeman...Whens the last time that the Griz flipped a Gallatin County kid?

EDIT: Missed the Lang twins.
