Yep, would have been better to not try.

"While the class of 2019 is deep in numbers, it's also long on talent with five (six with Dries) of Montana's prep recruits playing in a state championship game last season."
Colin Dreis played in a state championship in Arizona this year. A slip up? Could this be the mystery signer tomorrow?

The (six with Dries) comment has been edited out on the gogriz.com article.
Now it just states, "While the class of 2019 is deep in numbers, it's also long on talent with five of Montana's prep recruits playing in a state championship game last season."

Were you already expecting him to leave in the next two years, or something?AllWeatherFan said:https://missoulian.com/sports/college/big-sky-conference/university-of-montana/montana-grizzlies-ink-football-players-on-st-day-of-early/article_de25eab6-7bf6-5acd-8f4f-1890f2a014ed.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1
“Last year, you’re kind of taking some risks and trying to evaluate in a shorter period of time,” Hauck said. “I would say that five years, four years from now, when we come out at the end of this thing, we look at these guys graduating, that we’ll probably have a higher percentage of guys that are all-league players in this class than the previous one just because we’ve had time to really evaluate.”
The group features 11 players from Montana, four from Washington, three from Idaho, two from Oregon and one from Alaska. There are four 3-star recruits and four 2-star recruits in the class, all from outside the state.
“It’s heavy with Montana kids, which is our way,” Hauck said. “We’re going to try to recruit every Montana kid that we think can help us win a championship. And then we’ll go elsewhere for the rest.”
The Griz signed four offensive linemen and three defensive linemen, the most at any position. Those were two positions where they struggled during the 2018 season.
“We’re heavy on the fronts, offense and defense, again,” Hauck said. "Obviously, we’ve got some deficiencies there. … Those things don’t get answered in one year or two years. That’s going to be a consistent theme through next year as well.”
Is somebody already lobbying for a longer-term deal? :lol:

Without knowing the statistics, I would assume we usually sign at least a few junior day attendees. So yes, that strikes me as very odd!AZGrizFan said:Paytonlives said:Junior Day invites via Twitter

Even weirder. Here's the entire list of Junior Day invites. Not ONE player signed off that list unless Buschini signs. And as far as we know, not ONE player even OFFERED off that list except Buschini...Does that not strike anybody as odd?
