We all wished for a great schedule, and we got it. I'm euphoric over it. It's what I've always wanted from any Montana athletic program--to take on the very best. It's the reason I prefer basketball over second-rate football.
But let's be careful: This schedule also serves as an audition for Travis. He knocks off one or two of these teams, and it raises not only our profile, but his.
Especially: Stanford. Jerod Haase is 48-49 in three seasons there. They lost their top player, KZ Okpala, to the NBA draft. A .500 record is not going to cut it at Stanford for very long.
And do they know where to go to get a new coach? They do! Been there, done that. Probably the most successful coach in the history of their program.
Just sayin'.
With Owens and Velasquez, Pridgett and the rest of an experienced team, I think that is not likely. I don't see anyone but Weber recruiting at the level of Montana, right now. The Power Conf games will determine a lot.grizindabox said:I think the men take a step back this season....just say'n.
Velasquez?? :? I assume you mean Josh Vazquez :thumb:GrizLA said:With Owens and Velasquez, Pridgett and the rest of an experienced team, I think that is not likely.

cmtgrizzly said:I agree the team could take a step back this year. Rorie, Oguine and Akoh were excellent and the backbone of the team. Not only because of their skill but also for their confidence and experience. We will be ridiculously young. I hope these young guys are as good as the hype around them has been. They will need to be. For now I have 100% faith (hope) they will be. If we can win the Big Sky with this team this year we will be a** kicking for 2-3 more at least.
On a side note if we lose TDC then we lose him. He is exactly what we want a young hungry coach looking to develop a program at our level and then move up. If his goal is to stay at UM and try to make us a Gonzaga (I know we use this comparison alot but that is because it is a great one) then great! I really like him and proud he repesents my alma mater. He is exactly what we should be hoping for in future coaches.

Great post. With that said, I'm not worried. When DeCuire moves on, Coach Cobb will continue what DeCuire has built. Coach Cobb will be a dynamic college head coach one day. :thumb:
As for schedule, I like how well DeCuire balances the schedule and challenges his players. I have a feeling Pridgett will have a season for the ages. Not only for GRIZ basketball, but Big Sky Conference history.
