Since we've changed from 2023 to 2024, time to create a new list.
-- A couple of observations:
1) Montana recruiting has a bit different tone for 24 and 25. There is some sense that based upon class balance (overwhelmingly Senior (5 scholarship players) that Travis will supplement the two new comers (Thompson HS-FR) and Dargan (JC) with some current D1 transfers. On paper there seems to be at least 2, if not 3 open scholarships for the upcoming season. Montana will be really inexperienced next year and it makes sense there focus might be to bring instant impact transfers.
2) Montana also is dabbling in JC guys a bit more than normal and I've added them if they have been posted as interested on the interwebs. My primary source is Jake Leiberman, but there are a few others that post JC interest.
