Still waiting on Hudson Weins, Seth Brock, Jabez Woods, and AJ Tanupo
Now just Weins, Woods, and Tanupo.

Flores tweeted that Mikey D'Amato won't be signing with the Cats and stated that Mikey gave him a reason but is waiting for Vigen to confirm before publishing
Vigen doesn't have to do anything and I really don't think he should. Its recruiting...s*** happens. Come signing day you roll with who jumps on board.
I really doubt Vigen says anything about it as well, especially since he can't comment on a player that hasn't signed with the Cats. But that's what Flores said, so I guess we'll see what he says in the story that will inevitably come out.

There’s no winning by commenting. Calling a kid a liar is a losing situation, explaining the whole thing is a losing situation. Just ‘I’m not talking about players who we didn’t sign’ and move on with it.

Anyone else think the graphics this year a subpar. Very hard to read.
I was just going to make the same comment. That Lime Green is hard to read.
Lol I was just about to post how cool I thought the new graphic is!
As someone who does graphic design as an aspect of my job, I am definitely not a fan of this year's graphic. The color scheme is not good, and the blurriness of the graphic makes it hard to read. Also, a state graphic could have been added, which would enhance where the athlete is from. Not one of our best...

Yep, exactly. The young man will not be playing for the Cats, so no need to go any further with it. Doesn't do either party any good, and in the end, it's really nobody's business.

True statement. It is understood that this kid just wasn't a fit for MSU. Maybe from the start.

I agree. It’s pretty busy, I get the look they are going for with the inverted background and the static font for ‘signed’ but with actually no movement, the ‘signed’ font looks pretty crappy.

Agreed. Also noticed that our foes across the hill include a highlight or two to go along with the graphic which I think is a good touch.

Oh hey look another poster who subtly brings the Griz into the conversation. I wonder who this could be.

The Griz have added highlights to their commitment posts for about 4-5 years now and I agree it is a nice touch.

Tanupo has to be the star of this class, right?!?

Looks talented enough to be a day 1 starter, which is pretty rare at DT….

Guy is a beast!

Now just waiting on Hudson Wiens out of Bozeman who in my opinion is a Top 3 recruit in this class. My Top 3 are:

1) Tanupo
2) Bowles
3) Wiens

Agreed. I am tempted to throw Unterrio in my top three, however, I have been burned on high ranked RB’s before. For non-freshman, I think Jones will be a great grab for us at TE. Honestly, this all around is an exciting class, hard to rank.

Am I the only one who read Victor’s Tweet thinking maybe it was a coaching change or something that D’Amato was referring to? Otherwise why would Victor follow up, Victor knows he can’t ask about the specifics of a recruit like that. I imagine Victor knows whether something can be followed up with or not.
