I'm excited to see Sullivan here. I can't wait for next August.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Yeah this is a great start. Usually when we get a 6-6 OL he weighs 260. Or a 6-4 WR is usually 190. DTs are rare finds, especially in state. Most move over from DE.

Really stupid question here CB but how do you know this stuff? Did he tag Demo and you are a follower of his? I don't understand the tweet stuff but I might look into it if you get this type of information.

Sorry for the rabbit trail.

Thanks for the info and I really don't want to be that guy :P , but can we keep the chatter about possible recruits on the other thread and leave this one as a guide for verbals.

Boosters should never have recruiting convos w/ prospects/families; incl. in-person on-/off-campus contact, phone calls, twitter/fb/email

I agree! Marinello is a big boy coming out of HS. And you can never have enough tall receivers. Two good gets!

I think the BOOM was via a phone call from Bozeman's back yard even though Mac is indeed in Minnesota. One of the dudes he's been after for a few years committed.
