FYI, Payton stated as much, but said he would list the 2013 transfers also

I want to go on record and say thank you to payton for all he does on recruiting, period! geeeeez!

I read in a blog that the U of Montana passed on Tevin McDonald from UCLA. Now, that marijuana is legal in the Washington State, Tevin is an EWU Eagle.

I read that Ma'ne Manaea isn't on the official University of Idaho roster. The 2012 3A Player of the Year in Washington State may be entertaining opportunities. He's a versatile athlete (S, CB, Slot, KR, PR, P). The U of Montana coaching staff should make some inquiring calls.

It doesn't matter how much dope you can smoke in Washington, the NCAA doesn't allow it.

Montana doesn't need Idaho cast offs.

[bigriver]

Alex Thomas and Eric Dawson from CMR had offers. Thomas plays DE but will move to OLB. Dawson can and does play both sides LB/RB/TE. Both Kids are strong and hit like a train! Thomas beat Brekke twice this year in the 100!

@JPktik: 6' 3" 220lb Borah LB/DE Hawkins Mann has apparently given a verbal commitment to play at BSU. Had given verbal to Montana in March.

And

@KTVBSportsGuy: What a #FathersDay present for #Borah AD Vince Mann. His boy, Hawkins, was offered a scholie by #BoiseState today. Can confirm he accepted!

These from twitter

Hawkins is a good player obviously, but so are are few Blue-Chip linebackers in Montana: Grant Collins (Bozeman), Carson King (Dillon), and Alex Thomas (CMR).

From Colter Nuanez: State of MT Recruiting guru

Collins... landed a Univ of Idaho at their camp earlier this week.
King... one BSC coach says is the states best recruit.
Thomas... invited to camps at Boise State and Missouri.

very cool information on what the Montana athletes have to offer and where they fit...thanks for posting, plus it is all about football....

 

[grizatheart]

It's to bad the kid from Boise got offered from the home town team. I was hoping he'd just get asked to walk on to BSU just like they did with CM.
