let me be the first to say "thank you" payton....I appreciate what you and nikegriz do for the board....
 
I like Benn Olson, Burnsville, OL, 6'4 265, Attended Minnesota Junior Day. SDSU, Montana, South Dakota have offered.
NDSU has their camp June 19-21 and they offer kids then, 80% of their recruits sign from this.

He'd be just a snack for your current O-linemen... :lol:

Yea he's have to beef up a little, and after a redshirt year, maybe he can hit 6 4 285-290
 
As for losing Tyree Range, most of expected that would eventually happen. I feel things played out damn well for the GRIZ after his loss. I doubt we would have landed the Calhoun twins if Range remained committed. They apparently wanted a package deal. Somehow, the Calhoun twins fell into the lap of the GRIZ. We lost 1 commit and gained 2 skill position athletic players. I am sure most any coach would take the outcome the GRIZ got from Range not sticking.

Where did Range end up signing? He was my favorite recruit other than the Eastside Catholic linemen
 
your wrong said:
No Montana kids worth getting a look?
I would guess we have offered some Montana kids, it's just hard to get info on recruiting Montana athletes as there are no national recruiting sites that cover Montana and the recruiting coverage from our local newspapers is very scarce.

That said, I don't have a clue who the good Montana kids are that we may have already offered. I think someone said the top recruit this year is at CMR.
 
your wrong said:

No point in listing them. We will get all the top athletes and then the others will drop down to other football schools like Carroll or the Orediggers. After that they have the option of Western or Rocky or playing for the Lights in Havre. Beyond that there isn't much, though I suppose MSU-Bozeman still has a team.

Coaches are working the state hard. It is only spring, and over 11k miles traveled recruiting the state already. https://twitter.com/UMGRIZZLIES_FB/status/603250636533010433

I know, I was just taking a cheap shot at the Cats for which I make no apologies. Imagine that a Canadian not apologizing! Our coaches and recruiters will work their asses off, and I think our school has a lot of great selling points and is moving from strength to strength.
