Based on talking to coaches from three BSC and three Frontier teams (9 coaches total) this is how I think it goes. When asked who they thought were the top five, four names came up consistently and two came up every time. So I’d break it into three tiers. The top tier is Sulser and Askelson. Second tier is Winterburn and Turner. The third tier is Schneider, Estes, Graves, Germer, Choate, Shuman, Quick, Pepe, Sumner, Kleinhans, Janacaro, and McElroy in no particular order. I got some interesting individual comments on several players that I’ll share later.

I’d love to hear those comments! Interesting that Winterburn is regarded so highly. From what I’ve heard, his scholarship was very small, just books perhaps. He’s an athlete though so I get it.

Three coaches said Sulser was the most polished player at his position as they’ve ever seen from Montana. They all said he’ll be starting by next year and could beat out McGee. One thought Germer has more upside than Sulser and thinks both will be starting sooner than later.

At least five made mention of Winterburn’s mentality and will to win. Three said he’ll run thru a brick wall for his coaches and that his desire will separate him from the pack.

Two thought Choate will end up starting. Others called him a great student of the game.

Two said Graves and Hauck are going to be special together.

All of them said Askelson is the most college-ready player.

4-5 said Turner will be UM’s most effective player.

One coach said Estes and Sumner could end up being the best players in the group.

So if I’m reading this correctly, the Cats win next years game 45-21.

I was thinking the same thing. He even got a commercial in for his fan board. It's amazing how unhappy and pathetic these griz trolls are. They even hate it when Cat fans have a little bit of fun at the end of a game. Oh, and with a name like "Rebel", you just know he likes backing losers.

That's pretty high praise for Sulser considering Matt Miller played the same position, and he was a foot injury away from sticking with the Denver Broncos. I'm not sure that Sulser is quite that same level, time will tell, but the griz definitely got a great one there.

I tend to agree with them that Sulser is more polished. I didn’t ask any of them for a comparison to Miller. I’ve heard he’s a great route runner, so he’s probably more fundamentally sound or “polished.”

Why doesn’t everyone just put GA on ignore, then he can still post here but just talk to himself.

Put anyone with whom you disagree on ignore. Harmony and bliss. Ahhhhhhhh! You could just move to a very rural Hutterite Colony, convert, and your world will be perfect. Dress alike, speak alike, act alike, look alike, think alike. Gonna miss ya BigBrucie. But beware, not all is as it appears to those outside the Colony. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Isn't this an AG1 sockpuppet? Whoever it is, they have claimed to be both a Griz grad and a Bobcat grad in separate posts (and is too stupid to remember what they posted in the Jordan Johnson threads) but not a grad both. So there is no denying this poster is liar, at the very least.

Several observations from the a Griz grad and fan: 1) you did a fine job of putting this together, helmet looks nice, but this underlines the lack of brand identity long missing at MSU; 2) it's Montana STATE, not Montana.

I didn't realize that Devry Institute had branch campuses and combined degree programs with UM-Missoula and MSU-Bozeman. That one is new to me, so thanks!

If you pretending not to be AG1 by using this "rebel" account on Bobcatnation.com is how a 47 year-old man wants to spend his time, I really don't care other than to point out, to I'm sure nobody's surprise, who this poster is and how they have posted in previous AG1 bannings/suspensions. It wasn't stalking, either. I just remembered your act on the Jordy Johnson threads where you pretended to be a Bobcat grad and fan, yet kept making the same points the AG1 was making on egriz. The Kwaanza post with the Confederate flag was such obviously basic AG1 trolling that it made it obvious, but I believe at one point years ago you did confirm this is another account of yours you created during one of you many AG1 suspensions here.

Knock yourself out, Mike. Things going well this holiday season? Those Deadspin comments were brutal, but then again, your issues with women in public dating back to Gwen Florio are well-known.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

That's awesome! Good detective work, although I had a strong feeling it was him. He just can't let this stuff go and that just proves how sad he really is.

I remembered this account from 2013 after AG1 got either banned or suspended during the Jordy Johnson stuff. Took literally 3 minutes to find the relevant posts and 5 more to post. The irony of such a big, tough "AlphaGriz" slinking around BobcatNation and pretending to be somebody else makes me laugh.

He seems like the type of clown who would set up a proxy server to mask any IP ban, too, so before he uses the IP excuse, that trick has been around for over a decade to go around those bans.

We'll know who won in 3-5 years. Odds are the deciding factor will be some walk-on that nobody's even talking about today.

It's worth noting that Bobby pretty much has to win, since his roster doesn't fit his scheme.
