2016 MSU Recruiting - 37 (13 Full/3 Part./12 PWO/9 Tranfers)

[CatBlitz]

NDSU is great, 5 straight titles. Griz have played them 3 times in last 2 years..& if I'm not mistaken we beat them with a qb who had never played in a college football game. Obviously griz got smacked down in the playoffs. I'll take 1 out of 3 in a rebuilding period.

Dude, just go away. You're about ten years too late to that griz troll party. It's trite and childish. You're not impressing anyone. Not even your own kind.

[Mitchmt83]

Just saying. Sounds good see ya in November at Washington Grizzly Stadium. Good luck this weekend in basketball.

[BigBruceBaker]

I woke up to 14 notifications from this thread, thinking we got someone big I excitedly logged on. Then I get to read Mitch's drivel. Great way to start the day

Come back when the Cats can compete
73-37-5(including 3 straight)

32-26 since the Cats moved up from NAIA. Don't pretend it's been Griz domination forever. We were 17-6 against you guys from '63 (when the Big Sky started) to '85. So domination both ways at certain times. Quit being the type of fan that people hate buddy.

Narbonne HS is home to one of my all-time favorite bobcat personalities.....Jeff Brown. For those who don't remember, he transferred from UNLV during the kramer years. Hilarious dude.

You can talk bout the 1960s.ha
How bout the last 30 years Griz 25 Bozo 5....quite the rivalry. Enough said.

One and only warning. Don't derail threads with this crap. You want to talk about your team, take it to the College Sports board or the smack board.

This kid would blow the top off this class! Offers to UNLV & Colorado State, 3-star corner and his tape is ridiculous. He excels in coverage and he plays it all well whether it is zone or man-to-man. He is physical, does very well in press coverage which was awesome to see and he LIKES to hit! I am not too familiar with the CA schools so I am not sure on the caliber of competition down there as far as his school's level and quality of oppoenents, but he looks like a man amongst boys in his film.

[CelticCat]

Griz trolls,

If you are going to derail our threads, at least be somewhat humorous and original.

Thanks,

Top guys remaining from my list that we have a realistic shot at getting. Some of these guys may not have interest anymore but some definitely do. I know there are other kids not on this list but these are the ones I have tracked.

Blake Gregory 6'3", 170 lbs. QB WA Sammamish (2-star) (Visited MSU 1/15-1/17; he visited Weber State last week and will go on one more visit; we are still in the hunt)
Chris Murray 6'4", 195 lbs. QB CA Lawndale EWU just got a commitment from Eric Barriere so I see them out; Chris was supposed to make a trip the same week as Gregory but it didn't happen; we are definitely still in the hunt)
Darius Vines 6'1", 180 lbs. QB CA Ventura (2-star) (holds an offer from MSU and EWU; Eric Barriere committing now will make things interesting for Chris Murray and Darius Vines who both hold MSU and EWU offers)
Chris Hunter 6'3", 215 lbs. WR WA Lakewood (holds offers from MSU, Idaho, Idaho State, South Alabama, and UTEP; MSU had him in for an official last weekend; he is going to UTEP this weekend and there is a strong possibility he will commit there)
Quest Truxton 6'0", 180 lbs. WR Golden West College (JUCO) (Matt Miller and Courtney Messingham started to follow a week ago and it looks like Quest is a favorite to be brought in this final week; we will see)
Jacob Hadley 6'6", 210 lbs. WR MT Billings (holds an offer from Montana but it is unknown what type of offer; no offer from MSU yet but Hadley is from a Bobcat family; will visit 1/29)
Cole Hoover 6'4", 225 lbs. TE/DE IL Charleston (received an offer from us four days ago and will most likely come on a visit this weekend; plays TE and DE; I'm projecting him at either)
Korbin Sorenson 6'6", 275 lbs. OL WA Kennewick (2-star) (Sorenson is one of our top offensive tackle prospects left on our board; visit schedule includes: Idaho 1/15-1/17, Portland State 1/22-1/24, and MSU 1/29-1/31; we have a good shot at landing him)
Devin Fleming 6'0", 160 lbs. WR/DB CA Bellflower (2-star) (had him up here on a visit last weekend; a cat-quick receiver)
Kainoa Fuiava 6'5", 295 lbs. DT CA Downey (Recent interest from Coach Ioane and Hout; Choate and Pitre visited him last week; big run stuffer; played defensive end and was pretty decent on his feet for 295 lbs.; no D-1 offers yet that are known; the Griz started to put in recent interest)
Kyle Finch 6'4", 210 lbs. DE MT Dillon (we have interest but no offer; assuming he will be a potential PWO candidate; I have spoken highly of him over the past month; a lot of potential)
Jake Richardson 6'3", 230 lbs. DE/OLB MN Minneapolis (2-star) (Led the highest level in Minnesota in sacks his senior year at 14; a very good rush-end prospec who is most likely visiting in these final two weeks; has offers from multiple Missouri Valley schools and MSU)
Richard Hampton 6'3", 225 lbs. LB CA Hayward (2-star) (Another hybrid type prospect who got an in-home visit from Hout on 1/19; had a good visit up to MSU last weekend)
Andrew Davis 6'0", 164 lbs. CB CA Upland (3-star) (Was supposedly supposed to visit last week but something fell through; now receiving interest from Oregon State; it's fun recruiting corners isn't it?)
Vincent Heard 6'0", 175 lbs. ATH (WR/DB) CA Harbor City (3-star) (Recently started to follow Kane on twitter; a fringe kid who may fall to us; just recently received an offer from MSU)
Justin Garrett 5'11", 160 lbs. CB CA Cerritos (2-star) (has started to follow our coaches and Alexander and Ioane and they follow back; may be up here on final weekend for a visit)
Naijiel Hale 5'10", 175 lbs. CB CA Bellflower (Former 4-star) (we have a shot at him; Alexander and Choate have experience with him)

[HelenaCat95]

I like the list.
I would like to get Hale too.

Vim, or anyone else, what's up with Hale? Did he commit elsewhere?

Nope just taking his time deciding. We are in the hunt.

[LTown Cat]

Up to this point we weren't real productive with visits last weekend (or course that could change at any minute). After the commits from the first weekend I expected some big ones Monday or Tuesday.

Well the guys who visited last weekend were:

Naijiel Hale - not sure if we offered but I think we want him here
Richard Hampton - not sure if we offered
Devin Fleming - Not sure if we offered
Kevin Kassis - verballed on Sunday of visit
Kyle Finch - will most likely visit the Griz this weekend; could still commit to us this week
Chris Hunter - visiting UTEP this weekend; they gave him a 3rd in-home visit on Monday
Sean Opland - verballed in the fall

The prior week:

Cole Rosling - verballed to the Griz yesterday
Blake Gregory - still going on visits; wants to see what all schools have to offer
Chase Benson - verballed on Sunday of visit
Lewis Kidd - verballed on Sunday of visit

And then the rest on that first week were all verbals (Jobman, Tucker, Mosley, Padmos, Marks, Washington, and Chapman)

So how many full schollies do you think we are down to? I'm guessing there can't be more than 5 fulls left (which obviously could turn to 10 partials). Either way it will be fun to see who the last 5-10 kids end up being.

We could also definitely "over-scholarship" in this class and make the roster adjustments in the spring. It just all depends on who the coaches value the most.

What is the status on Jordan Happle, safety?

Doesn't look like he is on our radar anymore.
