Camden Sirmon at Washington is in the portal at WR. He was committed here at one point!
I suppose it could be no big deal but players talk. My son when being recruited for junior hockey or select baseball did plenty of research before deciding where to play. Do you not think these things are not considerations when deciding on which football program is his best fit. If the kid has no options it may make no difference but if he does I would guess that he would weigh that stuff when deciding.Do you think Fife talked to Vidlak last year and showed up anyway, or didn't talk to him?
Either way, I still don't think it's a big deal.
There are disgruntled players that leave every program every year. If incoming players exclusively talked to and took the opinions of these players as gospel, no one would ever go anywhere. The players go on visits, talk to current players, and meet the coaches themselves.I suppose it could be no big deal but players talk.

Ok I hear you but definitely disagree. McDowell said he didn't have a problem with the coaches publicly just like the others. But what would he say in a private conversation? Does it make sense that he left for family reasons? He went to Temple then to McNeese St.There are disgruntled players that leave every program every year.

I'm sure they'll also reach out to McDowell, who has nothing but good things to say about our program and coaches.
The only people I see making this claim are people that either don't like Bobby or the Griz, or people that want it to be true because they think our coaches should be punished for how they handled Logan's situation.
He went to an FBS team that gave him a shot, and then very suddenly left for mysterious reasons, almost like something personal happened that made him want to leave, despite having an inside track to the starting job.Ok I hear you but definitely disagree.

You think? Like say John Edwards, Dave Dickeson, Tommy Mellot, and a lot of others.Me either. I was being facetious.
There have been athletes from Montana that played QB at a high level in the FCS though. Pretty impressive kid.
TBHHonestly this is my greatest concern, with how poorly and publicly they handled the QB situation this season there's a real chance it might keep quality QB transfers from transferring in.
Don't forget that we'll see some lower depth guys leave, as well, and that's before considering any other transfer losses of impact players. The total number of open roster spots will likely be closer to 15+, IMO.General numbers
Seniors =25
Transfers out= 1
HS Recruits from Dec= 16
So 10 Available
But Hauck likes to keep 3 for Spring
So unless others leave I would expect about 7 new transfers
Might be bigger, but right nowDon't forget that we'll see some lower depth guys leave, as well, and that's before considering any other transfer losses of impact players. The total number of open roster spots will likely be closer to 15+, IMO.
Should have stayed. Rode the bench in Seattle. Not sure what the attraction of that is.Camden Sirmon at Washington is in the portal at WR. He was committed here at one point!
Part of it might be that Washington was home. He was only in Missoula for his senior year. He has family connections at UW, also. I'd bet he told himself that with hard work he wouldn't be on the bench long.Should have stayed. Rode the bench in Seattle. Not sure what the attraction of that is.
I totally get the attraction, but it would have made sense to enter the portal earlier.Should have stayed. Rode the bench in Seattle. Not sure what the attraction of that is.
Unless he really liked the previous coaching staff and was willing to give the new staff a shot rather than just cut bait right away.I totally get the attraction, but it would have made sense to enter the portal earlier.
Totally fair, just seems like transferring with a couple years of eligibility for a guy buried makes more sense for a new start.Unless he really liked the previous coaching staff and was willing to give the new staff a shot rather than just cut bait right away.
I believe he could be. I was just pointing out that the stats aren't too far off with not playing as much.I was just going to ask that. If he believes that....
I like Fife a lot, I was definitely supportive of him all year, but an NMSU offer is not really something to write home about. They are terribleFife already has an offer from NMSU
Maybe terrible but, it's better than getting an offer from any fcs team. That's the reality of the situation.I like Fife a lot, I was definitely supportive of him all year, but an NMSU offer is not really something to write home about. They are terrible
