When will the Griz get a Prukop or McGhee?

MSU probably puts too many of its best athletes and players on the offense, at the expense of the defense. If true, then Prukop gets the benefit of having the disproportionate number of good/best players on the offense. Doesn't mean he's not also good.

Wish I had paid more attention to the name mentioned in the LA Times, today. They made a very positive report on the present QB from Lawndale H.S. that now has only two offers...one from Eastern Washington, the other from Montana State. The kid was a real sleeper until this year and last week against Crespi HS, a perennial Calif power, he ran for for 100+ yds, and passed for 3 or 4 tds....I suspect, he is being looked at by PAC 12 and Mtn West recruiters as of today.....he is 6'4 and @225.....
Found the info...Chris Murray, ran for 197 and passed for 378 in a nice win for a 6-1 team...Seems Eastern Washington knows a good thing or two about excellent QBs...would like to see UM get a future Vernon Adams..
 
Nope. We are looking at Chris Murray to play O-Line...with his present size we figure he can put on more weight and be very good as at center snaps...I know this is a secret so don't let the cat out of the bag.
 
Over the years we have had many outstanding quarterbacks. Currently, the quarterback position isn't our problem or void in recruiting.

You would know the answer to this question, should the Cats play Prokop at safety too? If he is that athletic he could play both ways. I like what the Cat defense is right now its perfect for them and its a little more than they deserve. I hate the Cats more than anyone in this state so it is a perfect storm.

Considering the continuing concern about the quality of Griz QB's, drove home the imperative priority of grabbing the right kids. It also made me wonder how the CATS retrieved such QB gems from the dry plains of Texas. Dakota Prukop and Darius McGhee in particular. A little research revealed MSU's assistant coach Demo Odems, former HS coach from Austin recruited Prukop. This confirmed what a couple posters to this board suggested. Selles was a great choice to be QB coach; intelligent, creative and can recruit the Billings area. Certainly makes sense. Question is who/what determines where the Griz recruit from? Have they been successful, and what changes with the beginning of the Stitt era?

Your own Justin Gaines sent us McGhee

Prukop was recruited to be a safety by FBS schools, but we offered QB

LTCF, can you expand on that comment about Justin and McGhee?

Gaines was part of Ash's staff at MSU and is the person responsible for opening the Texas pipeline to Bozeman.

Why such animosity and mocking vitriol for a 78 year old Griz fan?

I hear you, Stan. They sometimes give me some guff, and I'm just a poor 104-year-old son of a turd farmer. I'm sure these big city posters from Red or Deer Lodge have all the answers, but guys like us should have a voice.

How'd your crop turn out? Mine was all wet and sticky this season. Wanna get together and share a bowl of Jello?
Just curious, what did you think of that Lindbergh kidnapping trial?

Crop sucked. I'm thinking of getting out of the game altogether. I make shit for money.

When will the Griz get overrated quarterbacks who crumble when it counts? Hmm.. tough one. Not sure I want one of those.

You can certainly use this criticism of McGhee, but it doesn't apply to Prukop. When did he ever crumble when it counted?

When did he ever play in a game that mattered?

Last year in the playoffs? Any game against Eastern Washington?

I thought the promise of being home for momma's big turkey dinner is what opened up the Texas pipeline for MSU.....and the Texas A & M game on TV that night.

Yep, laying the lack of defense at the feet of Prukop is sheer ignorance. Even when he is playing "badly" the team is putting up 40 points +...that not a bad bad in anyones opinion except those who only see maroon.
Or the W-L column.

Sorry that this is complicated, but the point was, he does his part.

One simple question first. Was the game the griz played last weekend against Weber a game that "mattered"?

I don't think it mattered as much as game played against EWU or PSU with a first string QB.
 
Credit a good judge of talent for the recruiter that signed both of these athletes. However, one wonders why either would pick the Bozeman school when they should have had better choices.

Well to their defense...at least everytime they play lose to EWU its non conference. freaking pansies
 
The only McGhee that Stitt is looking at is a 5'6" redheaded kid from Dublin. Stitt likes him a hybrid tackle/slot receiver . He never played American football but won a Madden Playstation tournament by going on 4th down every possession.
