Hermy will return to his 2011 level of play. Injuries were his biggest issue, kid played hurt for at least 8 gms. Now with that out of the way, I think we are ONE safety away from really big things this fall. I was reminded several times last fall that defense wins championships.

This is a position where a guy can comes in & play right now as a JC transfer. Especially if they get here early. These two S transfer should be drooling at the opportunity here. Maybe its just me but theres something special going on right now.

Hermanson got dominated by the bigger more athletic receivers, particularly in the ASU, ND and EWU games. His ASU game film was difficult to watch.

Before Colt we has a 185 pound safety By the name of Vince Huntsberger he wasn't to bad either.

CV Griz Fan, here's my thoughts on Hermy, please take this into consideration...most true frosh doubt themselves (wonder if they are good enough) their first season, not only did Hermy not doubt himself, he played really well most of his very first year on a FCS field, just a few months removed from HS...then comes his second year (playing against guys in their 3rd year, 4th year, and 5th year) and he plays through his injuries...I think he is going to look pretty good his 3rd year, and his 4th year, and I wish he had a 5th year like most players do.

Last season he was really young (19?), not as experienced as most of the guys he was going against (guarding) that were as much as 3 more years mature and experienced, plus he wasn't 100 percent healthy. Man, I see why he wasn't a superman-look-a-like. I'm with most, Hermy will look good for the years to come.

I know he won't play this year as a true freshman but as a RS the following season Connor Straham could be the one to replace Bo Tully. He was the 6A player of the year in Oregon and has good size at 6'1" 210.

Gregorak has publically stated several times that he would like to steal Connor for his linebacking crew.

Wouldn't surprise me, any. The Griz don't really have that much depth at the LB position. Makes me wonder why we recruited so many WRs. I guess we may have needed to do so, but I hope the Griz didn't stock pile one position at the expense of others.

Goes to show my age. I heard 185 pound safety and I thought of Tim "Hitter" Hauck.

Him, too!

Two smaller guys from Butte who could both take your head off...and who did, repeatedly--and became All-Americans in the process.

Both special teams demons in the NFL, mostly for the Eagles. And Hitter was Colt's position coach for the Griz.

Hard not to link the two.

Hauck's dad was from Butte, but Tim spent his youth and HS football at Big Timber. He had to be in full pads to get up to 185.... a member of the all-Madden team.

Northwest Elite Index: article on Jan 29th, 2013 (right before signing day)

http://www.northwesteliteindex.com/2013/01/29/strahm-commits-montana/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Connor says, “I committed cause I went on a visit there and fell in love…the tradition and the campus is amazing and the coaches really fit what me and my parents had in mind”. He continued, “It’s impossible to beat the Sheldon coaches in high school and the Montana coaches really reminded me of them”.

Strahm is the ultimate competitor and has continuously beat anyone and everyone that got in his way. With Connor its not about having the best 40 time, its about a kid that has more heart then you can fit in most humans and is just better than everyone else.

He says, “Goals for next season will be to come in and do anything I can to help, whether its on offense, defense, or special teams… As of right now they have me as a outside backer/safety”.
==========================================================================================

Way to go coach Delaney and staff for landing the Oregon Defensive Player of the Year! The Northwest Elite index writer Jordan Johnson said Strahm "was the most dominant athlete I have ever seen at the high school level matching Thomas Tyner and Colt Lyerla like performances." Johnson finished the article with "I can’t wait to book my ticket to Missoula and watch one of the greatest players to ever come through Oregon."

Backers look great over the next 5 years:

SR Jordan Tripp
SR Brock Coyle
SR Jon Kanongata'a
------------------------------
SO Addison Owen
SO Jeremiah Kose
SO Connor Lebsock
-----------------------------
FR Connor Strahm
FR Tucker Schye
FR Cole Landes

And with there now being 8 tight ends, maybe they will move SO Jonathan Richards back to linebacker?

Tim Hauck was born in Butte. Hence, from Butte.

Yeah.. We really need a 185 pound saftey :roll:

Well, we all know that the only attribute that coaches recruit on is the player's size... :roll:

Didn't the Griz have a young 185 lb. safety a few years ago? Don't quite recall his name...Colt something or other, I think.

He might have worked out okay.

Yeah but that was back in the day when you could hit while playing football. Now you are fined or suspended.

There may be a couple more walk-ons at this position come fall but the one thing I'm concerned about is that the Griz have three seniors starting, with two backups in Lebsock and Kose coming off injuries. I sure hope they're 100 % but even with that I wouldn't be surprised either that Connor Strahm doesn't redshirt this coming year; just in case.

I am sorry I missed your post to respond.The question with Hermanson is which Hermanson is the real player 2011 or 2012?
Yes, he had good games in 2011 but struggled against better completion. Please look at the SHSU tape. He also struggled against the better teams in 2012 IMO. Was it injuries, new scheme? Who knows? To me, he seems to have trouble matching up with "speed" players and larger receivers. Watch his angles on tape. To me, it's more about athletic ability
then experience with him. He might be better with better players around him in 2013. We'll see. By the way, he is already 21 not 19. Look at his Bio.

 

[putter]

IMO I think Hermey benefitted from having two very good corners who could be put on an island and not worry. No one was going to beat TJ and Roots was no slouch. Hermey was able to fly around because he really never had to worry about the corners getting beat and he became sloppy. TJ and Roots graduate and in come young, inexperienced corners who needed two good, technique sound safeties to help them out and they never learned proper play because they never had to. Hopefully last year was a learning year and they will come back and play solid all year long.

Oh by the way, 3rd CB Lisowski (sp?), made a solid showing in Seahawk camp. :thumb:

Let's not get it twisted. Hermanson was just two months (June 8 birthday) removed from 19 when last season started. Nice effort in tyring to make him look a lot older than he was though last season by throwing in the "...he's already 21" (now) comment. I just took an educated guuess that he was 19 at the time, as most 2nd year fall college kids are that age. But I was slightly off in my guess.

It's naive to think that a 2 year player (out of 5 mind you) won't have issues with "speed and tall recievers"? Sweet Jesus, what 5 year All-American Safety won't have issues with them (at times)?!

The fact is you improve every year. Hermanson (and any second year college football player) is a work in progress...still improving. Perfomance improves with experience (and health). That's why most college football players don't see position starting playing time until there 3rd year (RS-SO) or higher.

I get your point that Hermanson is a "work in progress" and I agree with you. All I am saying is that His birthday is June 1992 which made him 19 before he came to UM in the fall 2011. Most true Frosh are 18. Hermanson was a year older than his HS class.

I agree with you as well, CV. :thumb:

To the board, what excites me about Hermanson is the fact that he is entering his 3rd year, which is what seems to be the normal year players start assserting themselves as players. Look at NFL'ers Mariani and Anderson. Did they play as true frosh? Your kidding right? :lol: NO. How about as red-shirt frosh? Hec NO. Soph year? Now your talking.
