Re: Malachi Claunch Commits!
Damn, MSU is absolutely killing it with in-state recruiting this year. I'm sure Bobby's Bubble Boys will be able to find some more Transfer Portal players.

Gris didn't want them anyways. They are all NAIA players.

Re: Malachi Claunch Commits!
I was going to comment this morning in the recruiting thread that the Cats haven’t offered many RBs this year, but there you go.
The Billings West pipeline is also still producing for the Cats.

Re: Malachi Claunch Commits!
Well we have seven currently on the roster, and they're all pretty good! Two Senior's though so obviously it's good to have depth here and I've learned not to question anything these coaches do in terms of #s of RBs and OLs on the roster.

Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Seems to be two of the most frequently injured positions as well.

Re: Malachi Claunch Commits!
I wonder if they were recruited by that other team ?

Re: Malachi Claunch Commits!
If the in-state recruiting continues to tip MSU's direction, the contrast is going to become pretty stark. The Cats already have an edge. I think it's like 10 to 6 in terms of starters from Montana.

Claunch seems reminiscent of Adam Jones in terms of body type and versatility. Jones seems faster though. Nice pickup.

Absolute domination. And these are the least likely guys to transfer.
Incredible work by the staff.

Re: Malachi Claunch Commits!
Maybe kids are realizing that the Griz and Bob Hawk tuah have turned hard to the transfer portal to try and establish a program. Why would a high school graduate commit to them if in two or three years of working their ass off they were up to #2 on the depth charts and a transfer came in and now they were #3 with no chance of seeing the field before they graduate?
