2014 Griz Football Recruiting (10 Signed /15 Formal admission)

[StumptownGriz]

Wasn't Gamboa an OLB in high school? Between him and Straham's ability to cover the pass and use their speed (along with lebsock and owens) at OLB and Schye and Kose coming downhill at MLB I think our LB's are in much better shape than most think. Tons of talent and athletic ability at that position. Really pulling for Kose to come back healthy.

Schye more ideally projects to OLB, much in the mold of Tripp. With Kose's health history, I argue we are seriously exposed to replace Coyle at MLB. We need a JC transfer to bridge the gap, even if Kose were able to get himself ready to play.

Wow, had no idea Schye was brought in as a OLB. I just figured that with his size and Kose struggling with injuries he'd be the odds on favorite to play MLB. We have a lot of speed and talent at OLB, especially with Gamboa now in the mix. Kem you bring up a great point and a major concern for recruiting. We went from Lebsock, to McSurdy to Coyle at MLB and now we essentially have nobody waiting in the wings after Kose went down. Kose sounds like he is a great player and a great kid, but two knee injuries will really limit his ability coming back. We need a couple guys who can play right away.

Not 2014 Recruiting but I hope we go after this guy:

A kid you will hear a lot about over the next year is Kellen Strahm (6-0 180 Jr. Slot/CB) of Sheldon. He recently earned 1st team all league honors on both sides of the ball speaking to his upside.

Many are familiar with the last name as his brother Connor was Oregon’s player of the year in 2012, torching the state for the last two seasons and going for over 5000 all purpose yards and 60 TD’s. He is now a redshirt freshman at the University of Montana and all of 6-2 & 235 pounds.

Kellen is a lock down corner and a kid that most teams didn’t even try to throw on. Offensively he caught 42 passes for 693 yards and 12 TD’s (8 receiving), averaging 16.5 yards per catch through the second round of the playoffs. He is also one of the region’s most dangerous return men taking four to the house during the season. The defending state champs were upset at home in the state quarterfinals by Canby 24-17, but this didn’t take away from Strahm’s impressive year.

Speaking on the season he says, “The coaches always had us ready, we just fell short and we take our hats off to them.” As we have said time and time again Lane and Marty Johnson run one of the classiest and most successful programs in the country. Kellen was the only sophomore starter on the 2012 state championship team, and he will have to step up big next year as the Irish will be young and largely untested in comparison to the last few seasons.

Strahm is a 3 sport athlete much like his brother but his upside is what is most appealing. He is already one of the top players in the state, and could very well grow late much like his brother. Kellen will be a favorite for SWC Player of the Year honors next year on both sides of the ball, and it is possible that they could become the first brother combo to win the POY award offensively and defensively. Something basically unheard of.

Expect to see Kellen at our elite events and on the Barton Camp and Combine Tour during the off season. The Strahm’s are a special group and the youngest is just getting started.

having so much success as a soph. and jr. , one would think that Oregon and Oregon state would be all over him....his brother is here which is a big plus, I wonder if he has aspirations to play in the bcs, kind of makes sense to me....we can always try...go griz !

This Kid named Corey Harrison from JacksonvilleArkansas PlaysOG but will probably play DT in college should Definitely get a Look from UM HUDL: , : guard/ Guard/ Center, 6"3 330 Corey Harrison DT/OG #73 : http://www.hudl.com/athlete/500631/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Too big, too slow.

No offense to your son.

Kind of my impression too...might look better/faster if he lost 20-25 lbs....even more if he's planning to play DT.

 

[StumptownGriz]

Have we ever had brother duos/trios that weren't really good players? Seems to always work out when we pull in family "package" deals. Hope little Straham joins his bro.

If he wishes to Walk-on I'd say he'd most highly likely be allowed to do so, maybe even 'Preferred Status;' especially if it's at DT.

I know we offered him, but I would think if he stayed in state, he would have stayed in Bozeman. Pretty strong cat ties with his brother playing bball there and all.

Payton could you post the recruiting dates schedule again? ie...dead period etc....
Thanks.
