Joel Fuller played high school quarterback and was recruited by Montana as a quarterback before becoming an All-Big Sky safety for Montana State.
Cole Moore was a high school quarterback who started for three years at Sam linebacker at MSU.

Just curious; are the Griebel's an Air Force family? I know Mitch went to the Academy for a while before coming to MSU and I see that Mickey also has an offer from the Academy.

Keaton Anderson was a hard dude to get a hold of during football season. Once Senior had sewed up its championship, we finally touched base.

I hope he brought a jacket. Heck of a time for a California kid to visit the frozen tundra.

Wouldn't mind seeing a lockdown CB in the mold of Johnnie Walker, and then perhaps a pass rusher or a gamebreaker receiver.Bozcat003 wrote:https://twitter.com/SkylineSportsMT/status/807037337096036352 Does anyone else know who is visiting this weekend besides Vander??

I was impressed with how well the younger kids did at CB this year, I think we are going to be great at corner next year.wbtfg wrote:Wouldn't mind seeing a lockdown CB in the mold of Johnnie Walker, and then perhaps a pass rusher or a gamebreaker receiver.Bozcat003 wrote:https://twitter.com/SkylineSportsMT/status/807037337096036352 Does anyone else know who is visiting this weekend besides Vander??

Re: 2017 MSU Recruiting (15 Verbals)
If somehow a pass rush develops/emerges, the CB's will automatically be a lot better! This past season, Walker made it a lot easier for the young kids. Next season will be a big challenge for them. Hopefully they will continue to grow and develop over the winter and through spring practice to fall camp.

I was a big fan of Damian Washington (sp?). I thought he looked excellent for being a freshman. I swear he had like 5 "shoulda been" INT's, several of which would have been pick 6's but he dropped them. Seemed to always be in the right position to make a big play.083190 wrote:If somehow a pass rush develops/emerges, the CB's will automatically be a lot better!

Re: 2017 MSU Recruiting (15 Verbals)
Just my opinion, and I'm being a little bit pessimistic, but I don't see any receiver wanting to come to this team. If you were a good receiver looking for a new school, would you want to go to the school that only completed 2 passes in their last game?wbtfg wrote:Wouldn't mind seeing a lockdown CB in the mold of Johnnie Walker, and then perhaps a pass rusher or a gamebreaker receiver.Bozcat003 wrote:https://twitter.com/SkylineSportsMT/status/807037337096036352 Does anyone else know who is visiting this weekend besides Vander??

I think that is a legitimate concern, I have wondered the same thing. Some positives though that you can sell to WR recruits:
1. Murray is young, its not like that is their game plan for him to never pass. They want to develop him as a passer.
2. Other than Herbert.... well just being honest, but our WR corps isn't exactly setting the world on fire. If you are good enough, you could come in and play a ton as a freshman or transfer, maybe even start next year.
3. No matter what position, you can still sell a player on the new coaching staff. players seem to really like them.
4. Academics- No matter what position, the coaches have a HUGE selling point, in that you get to go to MSU! Not only an amazing school/education, but you get to live in Bozeman!....... Speaking of location- I understand that EWU has a great football program, but who the hell would want to go to school and live in Cheney? I would rather stick a fork in my eye than live in that dump.

Re: 2017 MSU Recruiting (15 Verbals)
He did have a pick-6 but it was called back, I think for encroachment, Just a few plays after he dropped an INT. He'll be a good one, covered some of the best in the Big Sky pretty well this season.mslacatfan wrote:I was a big fan of Damian Washington (sp?). I thought he looked excellent for being a freshman.
