Great news. I had my doubts when he picked up an Air Force offer.

I'm ecstatic.
I said on BN I think we can thank Covid for this one. Don't think we land him if all is normal in the world this summer and coming fall.

Saw him live standing out in the 2019 State Championship in Butte, getting after the Montana Gatorade Player of the Year in Butte QB Tommy Mellott for sacks and tackles for loss. Also he stood-out on the Bozeman offense, scoring a couple BIG receiving TDs (20 and 26 yards out).
This iis a can't miss star in college.

Would be stunned if he stayed in-state. Unless he has a down senior year.
He has been to most of the Big 10 schools and several Pac-12 schools
Still a lot of good players on the board. I’m just happy we got Klucewich and Detrick. Eiden going to the cats hurts, but the crown jewel is still on the board. (Probably not going to either school though).Ursus1 said:For those keeping score....of VIMS scholarship level players from Montana, Current score: Cats 7 Griz 2

You can bet the farm that the 6'7" 235 TE that was a major factor (especially in blocking) in the AA State Runner-Ups finish is a top MT FCS recruit; Jake Olson. Great bloodlines, his Dad started well over 100 basketball games, at Center, for the Griz.

Currently looks like MSU offering a full ride, UM offering a partial.
IntuitiveGriz said:Eiden, who's Dad played for the Cats, has been going to Cats games since he was 5 and said the Cats were his first choice.
"I’m really excited to be a Bobcat, I want to be a Bobcat, they’re my first choice, they have everything I want," Eiden said. "I really like the coaches, I think it will be a great opportunity for me and I’m super excited to be here and I don’t see myself going anywhere else."
Although the, on the short side, pass rusher attended some big camps and toured their facilities -- the best offers he received were three from the BSC...Mt State, Montana, and Northern Arizona.
He will be a great player in the Big Sky. Glad he's not taller...

If he were taller, he wouldn’t be a Big Sky Conference player. He would be FBS. Has everything but the height measurable for the big schools.

Meh. 4 of those 7 are kids that Vim himself said are partial scholly players. Those really do become a crap shoot. Some work out to be amazing. Others not so much. I truly feel on any given year there are only 7-8 kids tops in MT who are legitimate D1 type Griz or Cats or FBS players. Let’s see how it all shakes out with those 7-8.

To piggyback on my previous statement, I just listened to a Tootell and Nuanez episode discussing the in-state recruiting battle. They stated pretty much what I said here, that there are probably 6 blue-chip MT recruits.....Eiden, Daily, Detrick, Klucewich, Rollins, and Bergen. The Cats and Griz each have 2 of these guys committed. Rollins has a good chance to go FBS but could end up with the Cats as his brother went there and family ties. Bergen could go either way I suppose, I’m not sure. If a team lands both or either of them, then they have the advantage.
