Vim's 2027 Montana HS Player Thread

BDizzle said:
Posted in another thread.

Spoke with a West recruits dad. He thinks Olsen will definitely be a Griz. Honestly shocked he hasn’t announced it yet. Thinks Humphrey is deciding between Griz and Cats but leaning Griz. They are excited to have three West High kids together especially with how close they are. Humphrey is getting recruited by Oregon State and Washington State, plus Idaho State. Said conversations with Idaho State have been very impressive but no real chance he goes there. Told Nevada he was no longer interested. Might do some official visits this summer so not in a huge rush to commit.

Said something interesting. Recruiting has been night and day different since BK started. Dad said he is thoroughly impressed with BK because he seems to really care about the kids and the families. Said there was about a 0% chance he’d be going to the Griz if Hauck was still coaching. Also said he feels the cats are starting to get desperate. His words not mine.

So guess we will see how this shakes out. But looking good to add to the class with some more Montana kids. Then need to finalize with some solid out of staters.

Well this didn't age well:confused:

Not sure what didn’t age well. Besides he thought his son was leaning Griz. Said it was down to those two. Cats came in strong at the end and won him over.

I’ll go out on a limb and say Olson will be a Griz now that BK got a 4 year contract.

Speaking of coaches, contracts and tenures, what are the odds that Vigen will be gone after this year? Got to be very high. I'm actually surprised he's still in Bozeman.

My honest opinion is that it comes down to what's available. I also don't see him wanting to fuck over MSU in the middle of another run, so a school like Oregon State that wants him to leave early isn't gonna sway him.

If he finds a good offer from a school that is willing to let him chase another championship, he will 100% take it.
 
Fully expect Olson to announce to the Griz at least before the 4th of July...if not today. After Walker, you dive into mostly developmental prospects in-state. Rusch Yeager has gotten recruited hard by both schools but I think patience will be needed with him to develop as a legitimate FCS WR. Other in-state kids to note that I consider partial scholarship players:

  • Tytan Sebestyen - Father Rey starred for the Cats on the DL during the Kramer years. Great kid and player and wouldn't be surprised if a big senior year gets him an offer. If Cats offer, he'll go there.
  • Cooper Michaud - Frenchtown product built like Rusch. Good basketball player. Will need more speed to convince me he's a FCS WR...maybe a developmental TE?
  • Hunter Daniels - Has a Griz offer and Cats have been interested. He's a rock solid TE/H-back type. I'd pick him up...he has the make-up of a good college football player/student.
  • Isaiah Greer - So this one has flown under the radar a bit but Isaiah has only really played basketball and ran track for Lockwood. His football development has been hindered due to bad knee injuries but he's healthy now and really impressed at camps. He'd be a blue-chipper if he had football tape available and the Cats/Griz would've had to offer him earlier because FBS schools would've been circling. I mean the kid is 6'4", 220 and runs around 11.00 in the 100M. Cats offered in May and Griz offered in June so the recruitment is now starting to pick up. He could play a lot of spots but I'm assuming LB or Edge.
  • Banyon Johnson - Developmental QB out of Columbia Falls. Take a flyer and you have a kid with a great build and good arm in a high school system that runs a ton of college passing schemes.
  • Hudson Casper - Flathead product who would likely turn into an interior DL. There has been some interest from the Griz but no offer yet. If Griz offer, he'll commit immediately.
  • Logan Strecker - The #2 OL in-state, Logan is one of the better center prospects I've seen out of Montana since I started doing this. Could also excel at guard...maybe at DT. Cats have offered...not sure why the Griz haven't as he had a great camp at both spots. I have a feeling Logan will turn into a 3-year starter at center somewhere.
  • Kane McQuiston - Hope Cats or the Griz give him a shot. He finds the ball really well and has good build for the position. He's a tier below Lane Humphrey as a LB recruit but I still think Kane can play at the FCS level. Actually kind of surprised BK hasn't shot him at least a PWO...maybe he has as a lot of kids don't post PWO from the Cats or Griz.
A few PWOs who are worth a flyer:

  • Kashus Ereaux - Circle product you could give a shot at RB or LB.
  • Tyson Scheel - Bozeman Gallatin RB who is arguably the best one in the state along with Kashus.
  • Luke Jenkins - Bozeman Gallatin OL/DL who can absolutely compete.
  • Landon Bahmiller - CMR TE/DE who has great length with a good frame to add weight.
  • Ty Laslovich - Bozeman Gallatin S who comes from a strong Griz family...why not toss him an offer?
  • Jaxon Zagata - Billings Skyview QB who I think is a decent safety waiting to be developed.

Anything on Luke Dalen QB from Whitefish? seems Eastern Washington has been on him quite a bit.
 
Usually coaches lay out their "boards" in-state by the sequence of who they offer. If Cade Hudyma was in that group, he would've been offered by both schools immediately. That didn't happen until later in the spring when track season was in full swing. Him getting a full scholarship to CSU is not crazy but also a risky step for a FBS school. Also Glasgow is playing him at TE which...fine but the kid is 100% a OT in college. My initial list changes throughout the year so Cade is going to move up if he has a great senior season. But the recruiting game in-state is played before the kids even start their senior years so my initial ranking before fall 2026 is based on that and modified a little until I see what happens in the fall.

I will say the kids in-state are not really secrets anymore as FBS schools have plenty of access to see these kids play. Also, kids who take over their recruitment and go to a bunch of camps get on radars easier than the kids that just go play. However, if you're good...they'll find you.
