Transfer Portal Start

[GriznMN]

I'm probably late to this thought and someone has probably already made a comment like this on the board but here's my take on why we got everyone's best this year. After the Griz brought in 50 transfers last year, with many being FCS and in conference transfers, I think a lot of these guys were auditioning to be on the Griz next year. I especially look at #46 LB for Portland State. He took on a bone-crushing block from Shafer at the goal line and brought it to a draw. After the game, he was talking with some of the Montana Griz players and coaches including Bobby.

I don’t agree. You don’t judge a side of the ball only by first team all conference selections.

Using your logic, you don't judge a team by the number of first team all conference selections.

Tagged keaton on this Monmouth line transfer and the kid liked it and keaton started following, need all the size we can get!

The downside, he competes in the CAA so if he stands out in the CAA is he just average in the Big Sky? With that said, he takes on a lot of double teams and defeats them. Looks like he can't be blocked for very long or effectively with one and he has a motor. He also uses his hands very well and has a great juke move to get around Olineman. It looks like his days playing FB in high school gave him experience how to avoid blocks (tackles). I would like to see how long his arms are and what he can squat, bench, and clean and what his 10 yard shuttle run and 40 yard times are.

Wow, there's so many good sized FCS DLs and LBs with great sack, tackles, tackles for loss #s in the portal.

Weber State, ISU, PSU, Poly, Albany, St Francis (nearly the whole team) and many other eastern programs with great size. I'm talking near or over 300lb DTs, 250+ lb DEs/OLBs. Some pretty intriguing CBs too. Many OLs with great experience or terrific upside potential.

I really hope Hauck lands 10 to 15 of theses guys. No less than 2 big DTs, 3 DEs, 4 to 5 OLs. The PSU TE would be a perfect fit too.

Honestly PSU has some great talent leaving. They just weren't a very deep team. Their front line starters on the lines and LB are solid.

We don't want them unless they're from Montana

Honestly - the BSC is not always known for precision on these lists...many years Griz players got overlooked...for a variety of reasons.

Auditions? LOL, no.

They need as many guys with size as they can get. This fricken 3-3-5 requires the line to force double teams. I think Ramos has gotten better but its still been a steep drop off from gub.

I THINK Andrew Schmidt a few years ago described the process (not sure if it was or still is the case).

Basically all the coaches would get on a conference call and they’d go position by position and submit someone. If nobody had objections, that player made whatever on the all conference awards.

So that tracks lol.
