I think it’s pretty even or leaning to the Griz. I’m sure Cats fans would say otherwise....haha. There’s no doubt Owens, Gradney, and Poetzl are 3 of the top 5 in the state. Owens is #1 in my book, he was the AA player of the year and all state on both sides of the ball, not to mention all state basketball. Bobby getting him over the cats and over playing hoops was recruiting genius. Getting Gradney who was a legacy Cat was impressive. Grabbing Simpson out of Bozeman with a bigger offer from the Cats was also solid recruiting and Simpson said as much. Poetzl was a top prize and both schools were after him hard. He was Vims preseason #1 but got hurt early. Tirrell is much better player than people realize and should be one of the top recruits.
Cats got some studs in Lonergan and Olson (would never be Griz) and Alex Johnson. I’m impressed with the QB Thelen, too. So it will be interesting to see where it all shakes out. No one absolutely dominated imo but the Griz did very, very good.
Griz did very well in-state this year. No question about it.
