Big loss for the dark pinkers

Tangential question....does Nike now produce graphics for players to announce they are entering the portal and leaving their current Nike school?

Also, is typing Proverbs 16:3 a lowkey way of saying "Gods Plan" ?

Yes, it says to commit to the LORD in whatever you do and HE will establish your plans.

Looks like he was already offered by Liberty, UTEP, Washington State, and University of Houston

They are losing 10 of 11 starters, all 6 LB on depth chart. 6 of 11 starters on offense, 7 if count Fife.
Wow… that is going to be really hard to rebuild their roster, and with that many new players they’ll need to come in, it will be even harder to build chemistry. On the other hand, I feel really good about what we’ll be able to put on the field next year as long as we can hang on to the players that we have!

That has got to hurt.

Maybe we will see him at tomorrow night’s game for a visit?
:lol:
No. He'll never play for MSU. Sat next to Nolan Askelson and Treyton Pickering at Cat/gris, and they both said he's a punk. Trash talks all game long, even when on the wrong end of plays.
Isn't that true of all the dUMb players? Talking trash when on the wrong end... :wink:

The two big questions for me are Moore and Scottre. I'm hoping Moore hung around Tommy enough and the team culture theme rubbed off.

That was my first reaction too, thinking man - they are losing so many starters they are going to suck! Then I quickly remembered what a wise coach once said - "Sometimes it's not a bad thing when you lose a bunch of starters." There is truth to that.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

I think they are both very bought into the culture and love it in Bozeman………. BUT………. When you have Power 5 schools offering ridiculous amounts of money that can change things.

I’m not gonna say specifics of what I’ve heard cuz I don’t want to spread rumors. But I heard Moore already has some offers that would be impossible to turn down.

Just enjoy these talented players while they are here, for as long as that is (hopefully their entire careers).

Riley Wilson's style of helmet completely ruined his entire aesthetic.

He would make a great play for the Gris and I'd be like "man... that guy's kinda sick."

Then they would show a closeup of him and I'd be like "that guy looks like a tool."

I heard Rush, Omar, and Seabass all got 100k to portal out of MSU last year. Can't confirm, though.
Is it more than that?

It would suck to lose a player as talented as Moore, but if he leaves that can also be used as a huge recruiting tool for MSU moving forward to compete with FBS programs for high school recruits. Instead of going FBS and sitting on the bench for two years, come to MSU and play right away. If you're good enough to move up and want to do so, the FBS programs will find you and give you your NIL money.

Maybe Booby Hauck Tuah will hit the retirement portal. With everything going the way it is, I hope he stays at dUMb a few more years.

I wouldn't be a fan of that recruiting pitch. Come to MSU and then portal out to FBS for a big NIL score!

No thanks. Just my opinion.

And I wouldn't say "Impossible". If memory serves, there's a kid playing for NDSU that turned down $1,000,000 to stay in Fargo this season.

Wehr and Moore turned down big paydays last year to stay at MSU. Not a mil, but still significant.

Like a dog to its vomit so goes the gris and the Portal. This will be the norm when you build with it instead of normal recruits. Have to refill the cupboard every offseason.

To be fair if you look at who they offer in state, they lose to the Cats, Tech, or they don't pan out. I seriously think their coaching staff isn't good at evaluating and recruiting talent. Portal kinda negates that because you can see it on the field or someone else did it for them.
