Spun off from recruiting posts. Montana kids usually do not have the fanfare of kids from other states. Several factors contribute to this.
1- Scouting sites rarely spend any time in Montana, Idaho or Wyoming.
2- Montana HS players rarely travel to out of state clinics, camps, etc.
3- Montana coaches rarely promote their players.
4- Players rarely take the time to set up info on the recruiting sites.
5- Film in Montana is rare or sucks.
It does not mean they can't play, just that they have a hard time getting the attention of football coaches outside the state of Montana. In addition (like it or not) the trend is for UM and msu to wait until later in the year to offer Montana players, for fear they might "miss" on a out of state kid they really want. UM and msu also try to get Montana kids on partials because the cost of school is so much less for in-state kids.
All that being said, please post info on Montana football players here in this forum, I believe they deserve their own topic.
