Just curious as I know there were truckloads of recruits in this weekend, if anyone knew how that went.

I know this is the dead period now, as there isn't any coach player contact for the next two weeks. This is probably the two most excruciating weeks other than two a days before the season starts.

I was told yesterday that the Griz have offered Josh Harris
(his father Greg played for the Griz)

#62 Josh Harris 12 DE 6'5" 205 Flathead High- Kalispell

I do not know him or his father...if anyone can confirm?

I see on scout.com we've offered a saftey out of Oregon, Chase Wesley, 6-2, 165, 4.6.

I am a little confused with all the potential Safeties we are recruiting combined with our depth there already. Then again, if they all Redshirt, I can see it making sense. Should we not be focusing more on WR, RB, CB, LB in terms in depth? Unless something changes dramatically, it looks as if BH is planning on dropdowns to fill the depth chart at those positions.

Is it possible BH may turn a few of the safeties to other positions. The bigger ones to LB and the faster ones to CB? The good thing about recruiting safeties is they are most often versatile and good athletes.

Keep in mind we had 2 safties graduate this year, so it's healthy to have young replacements ready. Also after the 2008 Colt will be gone too. That will leave Shann Schillenger, Tim Anderson & Brandon Fisher who would all be seniors in 2009. So actually making sure that in 2008 and especially 2009 you've got some RS frosh or true sophomores at saftey is important.

What if wrong with trying to support an 17-18 year old kid that may have made some mistakes. I am sure that the coaches are aware of any problems, and have made it very clear what is and is not acceptable from Mr Stuberg. I have no problem with giving kids a second chance.

Second chance?
Rumor has it that he possibly has up to four Alcohol citations throughout high school. is that true?
Not sure which one you would call the second chance?
The First? Second? Third? or Fourth?
not sure what you mean by the whole second chance thing?

Does that surprise you though with Hauck's "JUST WIN BABY" attitude? Couple that with the support from O'Day and he has nothing to worry about as far as backlash goes from the higher ups? The red flags are out there that is for sure.

BH is recruiting speed for the defensive backfield and anybody that has good speed and a decent sized body will be sent to the weight room and come out a Line Backer. Most kids that played LB in high school do not have enough speed to play LB for the defensive backfield that Hauck wants. Just the way it is.

by **grizindabox** on Mon Dec 17, 2007 2:50 pm

There is also Erik Stoll who sat out the year after transferring from Idaho St. He started at safety there his true freshman year.

Thats right, forgot about him. Wonder if he'll be one of the guys who rotate in behind Shann and Colt.

I heard Ritter is going to Carroll. Four year starter at qb and 5 national titles in a row may be on the way.

That should help to solve our offensive woes! :rolleyes:

It's a joke.

PaytonLives,

Thanks for getting all the commitments in an organization for us. If you could update us once in awhile I'd appreciate it. You seem to have a handle on the situation.

Stoll is a flat out stud and will see much time I would guess.

DeBruycker is a great pick up. I know an assistant coach from Choteau and a couple months ago he was telling me that Colorado State was recruiting him harder than the Griz were. I saw him run track last spring and he's very fast for his size, has a big frame with very broad shoulders. I think I remember him running something like a 53 second 400, which is stellar for a DL prospect. Should also be pretty tough if he's a state champion wrestler. His family moved from Fort Benton 7 or 8 years ago. What the heck is in the water at Fort Benton?

Fort Benton has a kid who was a Junior this year. He has been all state for the past two years. He placed third at state as a freshman, and won state as a sophomore at heavyweight wrestling. He is favored to win it the next two years. I think he is about 6' 4" and 275. He also placed in shot as a sophomore. They have had a pretty good run in Fort Benton over the past 7 or 8 years.

On the DeBruyker kid, I understand he is 6'4", but has a wingspan of 6'8" or more. Sounds like he could be in line for the next best defensive end.

You are talking about the Tweet kid. He is a man-child at the class B level. His dad is the coach of six-man Geraldine. For a big guy he has amazing athleticism. I hope he ends up a griz, but he could go much bigger.

I too hope he ends up a Griz.

and hope the griz offer him a full ride as soon as NCAA rules allow!
if not we'll be missing out on a lot.

I saw Tweet's dad today in Great Falls. He had a Griz sweatshirt on.

I believe the last few kids we have got from Ft. Benton have worked out OK.

by **WyomingGrizFan** on Fri Dec 21, 2007 11:29 pm

I'd like to see the Griz sign both Ethan Tweet and Casey McMillan for the DL. Both about 6' 4" and 270 lb. range to begin with. Hope it works out for all concerned if so.

by **61griz** on Sat Dec 22, 2007 12:09 am

what is the deal with Casey Mcmillian. Have the griz offered him? differant people have given me different answers. I have never seen him play. He is big, but is he that good. I heard that Wyoming and Colorado State offered him and was wondering if he has other offers? You would think if he was as good as what everyone is saying he is he would have a few more offers.

I'm not in the information loop, but I remember an article in the Billings Gazette a while back -- when Central was in the playoffs -- that mentioned he had an offer from UM. But that's about all I know.

You won't forget about him for long. He's a player (a tough one) and he'll be All Big Sky before he's done...3 years left to play.

I'm with you IG, Stoll will be on the field at some position next year. He is a stud.

I'm sure Bobby has big plans for him at TE...we need a few more.
