Not going to get into the JCU convo as it seems bizzare but I have a question, not meant to instill protective instincts about the Hauck regime. Do you all think that there come a time where Montana high school QB's like Kris Brown and Rostad give Hauck a pass because he continues to recruit Juco or transfer QB's instead of attempting to groom a young Montana QB. Sure I get that nobody has a guaranteed starting spot but I'm not sure if I had the talent like Rostad I would buy into the program where Hauck is recruiting a 3 year (playing time) QB like Patterson after in (Brown's case) I just beat the shit out of my body in winter conditioning only to sit on the pine. Admittedly I don't have a grip on why these young men make the decisions they do but if I were a MT High School QB, and had the talent that some do like Rostad, I'm not sure that I would see it as a great chance to actually play QB at UM if the coach continually goes the JC/Transfer route. Graves would be a good example as well. Yes, some are recruited as "athletes" but if I am a really talented MT QB I would not be sure that I would be getting a real shot at the position.
If they don't want to compete, it doesn't matter where they get recruited they won't make it. I don't know of any college coach that if a player is out there that is available, that they feel will help the team doesn't take them, It's not only Bobby!! This is what coaches do, it's their job, or they will be looking for another one.
