For whatever reason, Nevada/Arizona/Colorado have never been big recruiting areas for us.
That statement may not be entirely accurate. During the Hysell era, Colorado and, interestingly, Minnesota played significant roles as recruiting areas. Noteworthy Minnesotans such as Brent Swaggert, Mike Quast, Paul Diercks, and Brent Ludwig (apparently Hysell only liked linemen out of MN :lol: ), were starters for years for the Cats. Colorado natives, including Jonathan Taylor, Ryan Johnson, Lamonte Bell, and Jamie Amicarella, also contributed significantly to the team. While there may be additional names, these individuals come to mind. I've always maintained that the rise of the Dakotas was fueled by their robust recruiting efforts in Minnesota. The Cats enjoyed an advantage for years but lost ground when Kramer shifted his focus away from the state.

Should've said since the Ash years for the Nevada, Arizona, Colorado comment! I didn't list Minnesota because we've put resources into those areas between multiple coaching staffs with solid success.

Wasn't Mark Reihhart '85 out of Minnesota?

Seems like we could be doing a lot more in Colorado. I know most of the top players go to CU, CSU and Wyo but we could out-recruit UNCU easily and probably pull some guys MWC teams. MSU is growing in popularity among CO high school students so it wouldn't be unusual to get some players to come. I suppose it would mean pulling resources out of other states which is probably why we don't do it but with the rise of Idaho (and ISU?) maybe our time in that state would be better spent a little further south.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

He hasn’t been offered yet. I’m just putting this here because the Cats are looking at him and it gives us an idea of what kind of transfers the Cats are looking for.

MSU offered him back in 2020, so did Idaho. He walked on at WSU. Second in the state in sacks his senior year in Idaho.

Is it just the videos I watch or does every single placekicker practice high light video only show them kicking dead on to the goal posts and not from the hash marks?

Wow. Look at the arms on this guy. Like a video game character they are so huge. Benches 450 and squats 600. I like! And he looks explosive as all hell! This guy could be a difference maker from day 1.

Man, looking at the weather forecast, I hope the Cats get any warm weather recruits in town before Thursday.

Vigen, Leon, and Tommy are all down there. Might as well go see your coach, AD, and QB1!

A bit of a surprise considering his other offers. Must be a nice NIL check.

And it’s within driving distance. 3.5 hours.
