Some Big Time Recruits

[Spanky2]

UM has one of (if not) the best stadiums, fan bases and training facilities in the Champ center. The only thing that can prevent UM from once again getting great recruits is winning. If Bobby can get it back on track sooner, rather than later, the recruiting machine will be running like it was during the great days.

Academic limitations (no engineering etc) will always cost them some recruits but that was the case back then too.

Players like big crowds, nice facilities but even more winning. Start winning and it will be what tips the scales.

Start going deep in playoffs every year you also get what amounts to about an extra year experience (practices and games through December for 3-4 years equals about a full season of practice/games that playoff teams get to develop and improve). So what most schools have as juniors playing is more like having seniors. Much better experience level across the board. Not getting playoff games really hurts long term success against the NDSU type schools.

No engineering will cost us recruits? Strange comment from snowflake!

Outside of a few, the names of whom many will surely soon mention, the hard sciences have not traditionally been the way of DI FB players. I don't see much limitation there.

You knew your post was suspect, thus the hedge.

If you have kids in middle or high school, then you know the massive emphasis on all things STEM. And, no...it is NOT STEAM as much as our superb liberal arts folks want it to be. I say this as a UM grad with a liberal arts degree...

This trend is real and results are tangible. Universities that offer engineering are doing far better than schools without.

This trend does spread to D1 football players...

It's a factor...perhaps small. I don't know. But, a factor nonetheless.

UM needs to transition some programs...perhaps a blinding statement of the obvious.

That’s not necessarily true. Montana Tech is really hurting and is have to make cuts because of declining enrollment with the biggest drop being in their engineering programs.

Ursas rambled on and on about recruiting and seemed to be at a loss for further comment which resulted in the remark about engineering. Maybe he is another Cat/Griz dual fan?

Not sure what your issue is....but you are a douche

Check Colorado School of Mines...South Dakota School of Mines...Cal Poly....U of Michigan...Georgia Tech...Purdue...Texas AM....I could go on and on and on.. Texas AM surpassed UT enrollment in the last couple of years for the first time. It's not a coincidence. The vast majority of STEM centric universities are thriving.

Good chance Tech's issue run deeper...wonder if they share marketing and recruitment services with UM? I don't know.

How well does Georgia Tech recruit against Clemson?

I agree 100% Ursus. NDSU plays in a glorified barn and if you look at the video of their new locker room, once again, in the barn with no room...does not even compare to the Champions Center. If you can be dominent on the field like they are, the rest is icing on the program cake...

But they also pay full cost of tuition don’t they?

If you are talking about the “cost of attendance” stipend, then yes NDSU pays it.

Why do some people want a big running back who can run downhill? Hell, I'm 51, out of shape, no knees and I can run downhill. I'd rather we find a big running back who can run uphill, that shit is hard.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Key to our recruiting is Bobby Hauck. His ability to recruit borderline FBS talent will pay big dividends to the future of the program. We are seeing that success with some of the current recruiting. Also, Bobby’s practice of recruiting Montana student athletes will have a positive result as they develop within the program.

Even if they hardly see the field. Good "locker room" guys. Love to see more of them on the team. This is precisely what Stitt did not get.

Tech is hurting? News to me

That was my point.

Guys...guys....Clemson offers virtually every engineering degree known to mankind. ..which was also my point. Geez...tough crowd.

Well it has been in the news the past month: https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/montana-tech-enrollment-continues-to-decline

I should have know that soldier as our family has been involved with ACC schools. My son was recruited by Clemson in another sport.
