2026 Montana Recruits

[PapaG]

Congrats @PapaG!

Thanks. I’m too old and comfortable in life for me to care about the dox and you’re just weird anyhow. Niece is a cheerleader at West and the Butte/Kalispell boys work very hard in football and basketball.

Next up is the last one who is a sophomore at Glacier and might be the best. It’s their lives. They’re just kids living out dreams and we watch them try their best.

That’s family for me and he’s excited. Stellar senior season at safety for Glacier. We are happy for him and will see Cohen next weekend against Rocky here in Billings.

I know. Doesn't the school provide the graphic? They misspelled his first name for Pete's sake...

Oof! Didn’t see that. It’s an engineering school and not grammar. That’s all I have. Haha

Maybe I missed the discussion on Wesley Ehret, but what’s the story here? Dad is Junior Adams, who basically broke the streak. Grew up a Cat fan. Right in the backyard of MSU.

I’m no recruiting expert and I don’t know Ehret, so Vim will have to chime in. All I know is that it doesn’t appear he had a Cat offer and the gris recruited him pretty hard.

Should have been a Bobcat. I'm critical of MSU in-state recruiting when we miss on backyard prospects and have legacy ties. Have no clue what we offered but Griz won him over and Dad's don't force their sons to go to their legacy schools...or at least they shouldn't. Good on Junior for letting Wesley make the choice that was right for him.

I agree, it’s on the school. Junior did the right thing supporting him. I’m no expert, but kids like him and the Malta kid may not be the most talented on the board, but they usually become the heart and soul of the team.

I suppose it depends on who we did offer in their place. Unfortunately only so many spots each year.

Jack is a good ball player. Two-way developmental flexibility. Good size. Good athlete. Another great get for Tech.

I am pretty sure he had a cat offer

I just don't see anything posted on his social media and that's what I monitor.

Slightly off-topic but what is likely to be next for Coach Samson? He's winning in an unprecedented way at Tech and clearly can recruit, I assume he would want to move up, but not clear what the next move for a guy like him is. He clearly has very strong ties to the state. Any chance we might add a guy like him as a coordinator if one of ours leaves? Or is that too big of a jump. Or maybe he finally leaves the state.

Not a real hard sell to get kids to go to Tech. They have great academics and decent facilities with strong fan support. Over 5,000 at a couple games this year which would outdraw some FCS teams.

They would outdraw all but four BSC teams.

Obviously, it's a great job at his level-- but presumably he has bigger ambitions-- he's just 41 years old. And whether or not its an easy sell, no previous coach at Tech has had a year like this.
