I just saw Croy has committed to the Griz. Is there still a chance for Eiden?

Oh I understand it. Just bummed because I like him as a player. Would've fit in very well at MSU.Catastrophy11 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 9:09 pmWhy? his Dad played for the Griz

Re: Montana Recruits 2020
Of course we still have a chance for Eiden. In fact, MSU has the best chance to land Eiden out of any FCS school. However, he is being highly coveted by not only the two in-state schools but also Missouri Valley powers NDSU and SDSU (Jason Eck has been his primary recruiter). It will be a battle next year.ibleedblue wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 7:58 pmI just saw Croy has committed to the Griz. Is there still a chance for Eiden?

Re: Montana Recruits 2020
Croy's dad played one fall for the Griz, hardly a legacy pick for him to go play there. Hate to say it but not a huge loss for the Cats- Croy is the third best RB on the Hawks squad behind a hurt O'Reilly and Eiden. Eiden is carrying the ball a little more now that it's playoff time and much more explosive and elusive than Croy.Catastrophy11 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 9:41 am"Croy was an all-state running back at Huntley Project as a junior, running for 2,173 yards and 32 touchdowns.Cataholic wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 7:46 amCroy’s dad played for the Griz?

Re: Montana Recruits 2020
I have absolutely no idea where Croy plays in college. FB? H-Back? I doubt he's ever an impact player. I just want all the big, fast, strong kids I can get on a football team. Good for the locker room, good for special teams.
You are correct though, 3rd best back on Bozeman's team.

I read he was the leading rusher in AA football.
Is this a case of "Our back up is better than our starter"?

Re: Montana Recruits 2020
O'Reilly was going to play both ways regardless in 2019 but the addition of Croy added extra flexibility with McCade. That flexibility would've included more or less offensive reps depending on the opponent and more of a full slate on defense. Bozeman would've been the easy front-runner this fall if McCade was playing. There's a good argument he's the most talented of the three brothers (Payton, Callahan, and McCade) because of his two-way ability. However, Payton and Callahan each have a pretty good case themselves.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 6:44 pmCroy *was* the backup before O'Reilly got hurt.NorthernPlains wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 6:43 pmbobcat99 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 2:04 pmI have absolutely no idea where Croy plays in college.

Re: Montana Recruits 2020
Croy is impressive to watch, isn't afraid to hit, guessing if McCade wasn't hurt, the Hawks would have had easily had the best 1/2 RB combo in the state. Either one could be #1 or #2. Extremely impressed with Croy this year.NorthernPlains wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 6:43 pmbobcat99 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 2:04 pmI have absolutely no idea where Croy plays in college. FB? H-Back?

I know two great people that have had Coach as a coach over the years. They have nothing but respect for him. Several parentA of players over the years have always spoken highly of his honesty and character and how he cares for their kids. Good enough for me, I’d love to sit and have a beer or two with him and listen to his experiences.

I think he was referring to Choate.

With Cat/Griz & HS playoffs done, I would be expecting a pickup in recruiting news now. Vim, any thoughts on where Max Anderson from Flathead & Butte's Konor McClafferty are headed?

Re: Montana Recruits 2020
Really surprised nobody is talking about this: Skyline reported earlier today that Jesse Owens, 2018 AA Offensive MVP from Billings West, currently with the Griz, has entered to transfer portal.
Looks like he had a scholarship offer from MSU too. Does this not have implications for us?
Am I missing something?
Edit: sorry if this is the wrong thread. Maybe should have gone back and found the 2018 Montana Recruit thread (?)
