The Bobcat Nation

Who are the possible college players for next year to watch in high school this year? I read that UM has a commit from a lineman from Billings Senior, I believe. MSU has the lineman commit from Glacier. Heard Columbia Falls has a good WR. I know Fergus has a good LB/DE that both UM and MSU are talking to. Capital has Trey Spirlin. Can we get a list of names? I'll update as players are added:

Joel Horn OL Glacier--MSU commit
Shayne Durbin LB/DE Fergus
John Schmaing OL Billings Senior--UM commit
Trey Spirlin Athlete Helena Capital--MSU commit
Jake Bleskin QB CMR--MSU commit
Max Tolstedt Billings Central
Scotty Owens Billings Senior
Connor Lebsock DB Billings Skyview--UM commit
Dylan Donahue DL Billings West
Jake Olson Great Falls High--MSU commit
Gavin Hagfors RB CMR
Ryan Otto DL CMR
Phil Selin CMR
Connor Thomas DL Flathead--???? commit
Matt Berg PK Butte High--UM commit
Tanner Roderick QB Bozeman--Nevada commit
Chase White QB Shelby
Jesse Ginn DL Missoula Helgate
Kaleb Johnson WR Columbia Falls
Tre Thibodeauz CB Missoula Helgate
Jordan Sampleton OL Missoula Big Sky
Nelo Butler RB Helena High
Trevor Bolton P Great Falls High--MSU commit
Beau Berg LB Helena Capital
Graham Bogumill LB Helena High
Sean Blomquist LB Helena High
Nate Heinrichs TE Helena High
Nate Bignell LB Drummond--MSU commit
Heath Hunter RB Bozeman--MSU commit
Justin Pierson RB Bozeman--MSU commit
Blake Eureaux OL/DL Fort Benton
Tyler Molyneaux RB Chinook
Kellan Clark RB/LB Shelby
Monte Folsom LB Dillon--MSU commit
Bailey Lehenbauer K Junior Billings West

Billings Names to watch: Max Tolstedt-Central(LB/FB), Scotty Owens-Senior(RB), Conner Lebsock-Skyview(QB/S), Dylan Donahue-West(LB), but there are some others as well!!

I think Jake Olson at GFH will be worth watching.

At CMR look at Bleskin and Hagfors on Offense and Ryan Otto on Defense and perhaps Phil Selin.

I added them--let me know positions.

These are the juniors from last year’s superstate team

QB—Jake Bleskin, CMR, 6-1, 175, junior
RB—Gavin Hagfors, CMR, 6-1, 195, junior
WR—Ben Roberts, Missoula Sentinel, 6-4, 190, junior (Sounds like he plans to play baseball)
DL— Connor Thomas, Kalispell Flathead, 6-5, 270, junior (verbal to OSU, but bro was just booted off the team)
DB—Connor Lebsock, Billings Skyview, 6-2, 180, junior (I assume will be headed to UM)
PK—Matt Berg, Butte, 5-10, 185, junior


Also according to Will's blog from Cat Camp (http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/ap ... ts/?p=3529" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), these might be some potential in-state recruits...

Tanner Roderick (QB/Athlete from Bozeman)
Chase White (QB/Athlete from Shelby)
Jesse Ginn (DL/Hellgate)
Kaleb Johnson (WR/Columbia Falls)
Tre Thibodeauz (CB/Hellgate)

These are the juniors that were named AA 1st team all-state (minus the guys I mentioned earlier)

OT: Jordan Sampleton, Big Sky, 6-2, 285,
RB: Nelo Butler, Helena, 5-9, 200 (I think he might be out for all/most of the year with an injury)
P: Trevor Bolton, GFH, 5-10, 175
ILB: Beau Berg, Capital, 6-2, 190
OLB: Graham Bogumill, Helena, 6-0, 175,


Also, to clarify some of the dudes mentioned earlier
Otto is DL: 6-1 195
Donahue is DL: 6-1 200

I'll add a couple of Helena High kids that haven't been mentioned:
Sean Blomquist - LB
Nate Heinrichs - TE

I thought I read somewhere that Nate Bignell from Drummond has verbaled to the Cats to play LB.

I see the Tribune has their annual fall football preview coming out this Sunday--I'll have to pick one up.

A couple of guys that really stood out for Bozeman tonight (in addition to Roderick):
Heath Hunter: 6'1" 205lb rb, ran real hard and has respectable speed
Justin Pierson: 6'1" 185lb rb, had good burst

Hellgate has a monster at nose tackle: Jesse Ginn. No player profile in the program but I would say 6'5ish and 300lb

I do believe Ginn has verbal to UM. If not Ginn then some other big lineman from Missoula.

Yes, Nate Bignell gave verbal to MSU. It was shortly after Signing Day.

I will throw a name out there, Blake Eureaux from Fort Benton. Blake is a 6'2 250 lb offensive center and DTackle. He is a great student and relentless in the weight room. Coaches and players who have competed against him know how good he is.

Well I'll throw my nephew on the watch list (especially since he'll be playing Ft Benton in a few weeks): Tyler Molyneaux of Chinook.
Started off the season with 265 yds rushing and four td's in a 47-16 win at Centerville, which hadn't lost a league game in six years or a home game in eight.

Who is Chinook's QB this year? Lane Schmitt is my wife's cousin.

Dillon has two seniors to watch: (1) Monte Folsom- 6'3" 250 lb. center and middle linebacker that moves well and very instinctive; it has been rumored that Monte has given verbal to MSU(Monte's older brother JD Folsom plays for the Miami Dolphins); also has younger brother Ben- 6'1" 170 lb sophomore WR and Safety that is extremely talented
(2) Kyle Godecke- 6'5" 275 lb. offensive and defensive lineman.
Dillon has a couple of really talented juniors as well.
Dillon plays Livingston tonight and will be able to give update on how they looked.

Yes, Lane is the QB, he had a good game last weekend, threw the ball well in the first half and then Chinook kept it on the ground once they built a lead.

Chase White from Shelby was 15-20 for 351 yards and 5 tds vs an overmatched Three Forks team last night. Showed some good touch and velocity on a lot of his passes.

White is pretty good, but puts up big stats against poor teams and has struggled at times against better teams. He needs to show he can lead them to a win in a big game which he hasn't done the last couple of years. Not always his fault but usually a sign of a top tier QB.

Just saw Chase White was the Trib's athlete of the week. It sounds like he pretty much does it all.

Chase White couldn't have opened the 2010 football season in much better fashion.
White, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound senior quarterback/free safety, completed 15 of 20 passes for 351 yards and five touchdowns and added a 1-yard scoring run as Shelby routed visiting Three Forks 45-0. His TD passes covered 13, 10, 76, 6 and 19 yards.
White also kicked two extra points and a 21-yard field goal, and ran for a two-point conversion.
The performance wasn't a surprise, because White is a two-time District 1B all-star who has put up impressive numbers throughout his career. He threw for 1,957 yards and 20 TDs for last year's 4-4 team, earning first-team District 1B honors at quarterback and second-team honors as a defensive back. He passed for 402 yards against Choteau and had six TD passes vs. Conrad.
White has a "very strong arm and is a natural leader," said Shelby coach Tyson Byers, adding that he can read coverages and check down routes.
A fine basketball player, White has helped Shelby advance to the state Class B championship game three consecutive years. As a junior, he earned first-team District 1B honors and was one of five 1B players named to the All-State team, after averaging about 16 points a game.

I would take Blesking and Selin off of my CMR watch list right now. Otto is a stud. He is all over the place. He can play anywhere from D-line, D-End, linebacker or safety.

I watched Schmaing play and was not that impressed.
