Looks like he visited a week or so ago. He seems to be all in on the gris though, so they can have him.

Belgrade sure is a powerhouse... Nothing against the kid but people must feel pretty good about how he could play in college when he's probably won what 2 games in his whole high school career and with qb's that are more runner than qb if I remember correctly.

Plenty of Bozeman area kids have gone to UM over the years, as well as the opposite scenario of Missoula area kids coming to MSU. I can see how it's appealing to go to college near home but not necessarily AT home.

He’s 6-2 and has put up good numbers for an underclassman. Especially considering he’s playing for a team that struggles nearly every week. He’s close to breaking 11.0 in the 100m as a junior. Promising player for sure.


MSU - 16 team National Champions (most recent 2024); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

Maybe he just likes coaches that have less than appropriate confrontations with their players.

I mean there was this:
Belgrade Head Football Coach, Jeremy Curry resigned after getting into an altercation with a player. The report cited multiple players who said Curry body slammed a player to the ground during a verbal argument.

and there was this:
Montana quarterback Logan Fife and head coach Bobby Hauck had to be separated during a heated altercation.

I think we can do better than that, yeah?

He seems like a good local WR. I would’ve loved him here.

Yes, a lot better.

Anyway, the real question is if he is even athletic. :D

My post was a dig at the former Belgrade coach and at Bobby who earns all the shade that is thrown his way. There was really nothing negative pointed to the young man. To claim otherwise is really a stretch.
All the same thank you for finding the speck of sand in my eye, I'm kind of surprised you could see it. IYKWIM :-^

Not much of a stretch when you say “he just likes”. My impression was the same as others apparently. Good for this young man to get an opportunity to play D1 ball, even if I don’t like his school.

Yeah I just don't see it as being a negative statement about the young man and had no intention of that. Compared to lots of things that get posted on BN I would've never guessed that what I wrote would've been more than the tiniest blip on the radar of even the most sensitive.
tdub you changed and ignored the context of what I wrote by leaving out the word Maybe when you quoted the 3 words "he just likes". But if the words "he just likes" are where you find fault in that post, then I'm willing to give that first sentence another try. I do this hoping it meets an acceptable standard for you 3 guys and offends no-one.

Maybe he doesn't mind coaches that have less than appropriate confrontations with their players.

The use of the word maybe doesn't change the context on the sentence when used colloquially. I'm not sensitive but I also did take what you said as a slight against the kid. If you didn't mean it that way then we'll move on.
