Congrats to Ryder. I'm glad he is getting a shot at the FCS level. In my opinion, he's the best player in Class B this fall. Some of my thoughts on Ryder's junior film and ability to play safety: https://egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.p ... 4#p1299094.

Top 50 updated with my 2nd Edition.

I'll also have short thoughts on each recruit in my Top 50. I don't see any Jesse Sims, Gabe Sulser or Troy Andersen level talents in this class but plenty of good football players to develop. Will be plenty of in-state battles on the partial/PWO kids.

https://twitter.com/CoachBJ_MSU/status/1004484396571693056 Great camp to start getting noticed for 6 and 8-man kids. My Top 2 Class C prospects are Landers Smith (ATH) of Charlo and Noah Ambuehl (QB/TE) of Great Falls Central Catholic.

A little more info on uncommited guys based off my list:

#1 Chrishon Dixon - He has been offered by both but I'm just not getting the indication Chrishon wants to go to either school. Holding out hopes for basketball offers as well but I see the Frontier conference as his b-ball ceiling. Anyway, still my #1 player. He is the only player on the list that can take over games. #1 WR and CB on my board.

#2 Garrison Poetzl - Garrison comes from quite the family. I'm not sure "free spirit" is the correct way to categorize the Poetzl's but they love life and the outdoors. Garrison is everything you want in an interior defensive lineman. I feel like UM is the fit for him but he's another one that may go out-of-state.

#5 Alex Johnson - Alex is a versatile defensive football player and what he lacks in natural athleticism/speed he makes up for in tenacity and instincts. He's also a tremendous leader and comes from a great family. His older brother Kendall was a great linebacker two years ago and joined the military instead of continuing his football career. Both schools have show a lot of interest but I'm not sure on the offers. I'm high on Alex because you know exactly what you are getting with him when he is on your team.

#7 Blake Counts - Blake didn't receive offers from UM or MSU post-summer camps and he's received offers from nearly every Frontier conference school. So he's one of those in-between players. Blake will likely have to make a decision on being "the guy" at a NAIA school or a walk-on at UM or MSU. I love his tape but his top-end speed and the fact he doesn't also play defense may hurt his overall prospects going forward. But if you get Blake on your team as a RB, you get a player who excels at nearly every aspect of playing the position. He has great vision, patience, strength, and can get to the edge with some burst.

#8 Alaric Greil - Alaric is an animal at 6'3", 230 lbs. He goes between DE/DT depending on the down and can defend the run better than any player in the state. On offense, he is a punishing blocker as a TE. He's also a tremendous teammate. What I want to see out of Alaric is consistency with his technique and pad level this year. MSU has offered and UM has not...yet. By the end of his senior season, it may be hard for me not to put Alaric in the Top 5.

#9 Trevin Gradney - Trevin received scholarship offers from UM then MSU after his summer camp performances and tremendous junior track season. He has a ton of natural ability playing cornerback and has perfect size/speed for the position. Based off current roster depth, Trevin and Crishon Dixon should be UM's top priorities in the state. I've had consistent chatter from sources telling me he is ranked too low...even at #9.

#10 Anthony Jones - It has been quiet on the recruitment front for Anthony despite being 6'2", 210 lbs. and the returning AA leader in receiving yards. If you want to develop a physical, outside receiver, Anthony should be your prospect. I have no information on offers or interest and I've heard much more chatter on other bigger receivers in this crop (Thelen, Simpson, Waters, and Trafton).

Alright...that's all for now guys. There are current in-state battles going on with several other players not listed above. It has been an interesting in-state recruiting year thus far.

Hey Vim, out of curiosity, when do you plan on updating the rankings again? I know you like to do one after track season. Are you going to do one before football season starts or just wait until after? Thanks for doing this. It really helps someone like me keep track of what's going on in state with football and prospects.
