I would guess we have showed interest. He is looking more toward engineering as a profession. He is a good student. I have heard Oregon is on him as well as a handful of other Pac 12 schools. If he has another year like he did, I think it would be hard to keep him in state. He seems to really like Stanford from what I hear.

I hear out of CMR , that Bryan Wilkes is being recruited from about
Everyone from Big sky teams & Others, did we get a offer to him??
Just be a shame if Idaho steals one from our backyard.

I certainly hope we are talking to Andrew Grinde from CMR-just announced Gatorade Player of the Year. Rumors are lots of schools talking to him already including the Cats but nothing from is.

Exactly. He wants to be an engineer. Excellent student too. Heard that he really wants to go to stanford, even if he doesn't get offered football scholarship. Has a brother who goes to MSU too. I think we found out early that we are not in the running for him and put our energy elsewhere. Chances are he will go out of state anyways.

Yup, Grinde won;t be a Griz. Just how it goes sometime.

For what it's worth, I don't see him going to MSU either. He has big aspirations.
Sorry, posted this under the "Baldwin to OSU" thread and it should have been here. Sounds like everyone was blindsided and several staff members (who also recruited many of these kids) will go no Nebraska with Riley.
This got me to thinking about Sims. He purposely committed fairly early as he didn't want to stress out about what was going to happen and play games with different schools. Would we have anything left to offer him just in case......oh and a head coach here might help as well.

Oregon State three-star tight end commit Matt Snyder said that he and his family hosted Mike Riley in their home Wednesday for a visit.
Snyder said he sold them Oregon State – the program, the family atmosphere, the future.
Turns out, it was a future of which he wasn't a part.
Recruiting is a business. It's about wins, money and job security for the school and coaches.
It was for Mike Riley on Wednesday, it will be for the next coach that comes to Corvallis and it needs to be for the recruits.
On Thursday, as news broke that Riley had left for Nebraska, committed high school seniors began scrambling to find out about their futures. Quarterback James Pensyl, linebacker Tyrin Ferguson, offensive lineman Beau Hott and others said they learned of Riley's departure like many of the Oregon State faithful – through Twitter.
Finally able to get ahold of assistant coaches each recruit was reassured that their scholarship was still very much on the table. That is, after the assistant coaches figured out what was going on, according to several Beavers pledges.
The only problem is that those scholarships are no longer the assistant coaches' to give.
In many cases assistants follow a head man out the door – be it by firing or a move to the coach's new school. Rarely do assistants remain in place while the man in charge travels elsewhere.
Oregon State's class is largely built on players that fit Riley's system – a system that is no longer in place in Corvallis.
One of the first tasks a new coach must complete is going over the current crop of commits and deciding who to remain loyal to and who to cut. Given that the class currently has just one four-star pledge, few prospects are safe.
If Oregon State University was as blindsided as the assistant coaches, a new hire and an evaluation of the current class will take time – time these 18-year-old kids don't have.
National Signing Day is exactly two months away (February 4), and many recruits have spent months shutting the door on other schools while remaining true to Oregon State.
Just in case the new coach has other plans, just in case a recruit doesn't fit his system, just in case he goes in a different direction, Oregon State commits need to at least look at other options.
If not, they may again find themselves scrambling. This time on signing day.

The Griz just can't offer these kids what MSU is right now. They will be able to in two years. But on the Montana front, IF the Griz land Holden Ryan and Hanser comes home like I've heard he may, then I'll take THOSE two over six or seven.

Havre, have you heard something credible indicating Hanser might move back?
As to Holden Ryan, it is not a done deal. Yet it looks very, very promising.

only that he's buried on an already bad Wazzu D. And i'm hoping Burke can lure him home.

Thanks.
I'd not heard anything to suggest a change but that would be great if it could happen.
