2015 Griz Football Recruiting- 4 Transfers/ 17 Verbals/ 4 WO's

[AZGrizFan]

Thus far it seems fans are a bit on edge that Montana hasn't got lot of o-lineman on board yet. I believe we have 13 rostered now with no seniors and I think 6 juniors. How many more would be necessary to round out this class. Looks like we have one who seems committed, one who has verbaled but may be wavering, a few offers. Just curious what might be that number to satisfy the o-line concerns and who would they like to see on Feb 4?

This is true. We picked up a couple bigs last fall who should contribute this year. And if we get Schmaing back, the roster increases to 14. That's one shy of three deep for O-line.

Add Samson Kalickini (sp) to the OL list.

Unless YOU are Samson, you need to give this one up. Samson is gone...and he AIN'T comin' back.

A committee has formally recommended Dec. 16 early signing period for football, per @dennisdoddcbs. Vote this summer. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/dennis-dodd/24978192/early-football-signing-period-december-recommended" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; …

Of the three offers we've made to RBs, which one do we really want and realistically land?

RB Sam McPherson 6'0" 190 (Bothel HS) Bothel, WA
RB Charlie Davidson 5'10" 200 (Blackman HS) Murfreesboro, TN 3-Star [10 Offers]
RB/CB Keynan Foster 5'10" 160 (Jackson HS) Mill Creek, WA 2-Star [UM, Air Force & Davis]


I see that McPherson has recently started following Coach Stitt and Legi Suiauno. I think this is a good sign. Does anyone know if he is coming on Friday? This kid is a stud.

The Griz are after some tall and very fast WRs. There's names of guys that aren't even mentioned yet that are coming to town this weekend. Some big time recruits! (hint check who our coaches follow on twitter).

Hate to put you on the spot BW, but for those not connected to twitter could you post a few names? Is this top secret or what? Thanks!

A few others, I'm seeing some are juniors so it could just be laying ground work for next year.

On the woody brandom front, sounds like he was told stitts system doesn't use a TE thus it probably wouldn't be a good fit.

Not sure if this has been posted. See the attached video of a two handed alley-oop slam dunk that Josh Sandry had this year in basketball. Kid has some hops for only being 6' 1"

As down-right impressive as Sandry's lob-dunk is, the best thing I like about the highlight is Sandry's intensity/fire after the play. That's the kind of fire I want to see laying-out opposing receivers and running backs.

 

[IntuitiveGriz]

Looks like a really physical receiver who likes to block!

Yep....looks like he likes to hit people.... :lol:

And with big ol Holden Ryan kicking ass...troturf out there as well, UM is going to have themselves some physical, blocking receivers.

I just don't know how to feel about it, but not to excited that players parents are taking to twitter to actively recruit or get kids to decommit. Villanueva can do whatever he wants and feels is best, but this further proves to me that coaches and athletes shouldn't be on social media during recruiting season.
