'10 CA QB Nick Montana (Washington Commit)

[JughedJones]

Just the thought of a Montana playing QB at SC makes me ill.

 

[BDIrish4ever]

I don't think Nick would come to ND if was offered the same situation as his brother. I keep hearing how he likes USC...but it is still good to see a Montana doing well in football

I agree with you that Nick won't come here with the same offer his brother was given; however, these are two entirely two different situations.
From what I remember, Nate Montana did not play much in high school due to the style of offense at his school. Nick is a legitimate starter at a passing school. He is going to get plenty of offers barring no unfortunate injuries.

Montana Making Name for Himself
By Brandon Huffman
West Recruiting Manager
Posted Oct 17, 2008

The name has a familiar ring, epecially for a quarterback. But Nick Montana, the 6-2, 180-pound junior from Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian, is making a name for himself as a legitimate college prospect, with one offer from a Pac-10 school and plenty of interest from programs around the country...

Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian quarterback Nick Montana (6-2, 185) has fit in just fine with the Lions offense. The junior quarterback has helped the Lions to a 5-0 record in 2008, despite rarely playing in the second half of what ends up being routs.

“It’s always great winning, but when you pull out at halftime, or before halftime, it gets a little frustrating, because you practice all week and want to keep playing. But we’re winning so that’s what matters,” said Montana.

And Montana knows a thing or two about winning, with Nick’s father, Joe, having won four Super Bowl titles with the San Francisco 49ers.

Now the younger Montana is finally getting to lead an offense of his own, and the Lions are prohibitive favorites to win yet another CIF-SS title.

The rapid development of Montana has also gotten his name added to the list of the top quarterbacks in the class of 2010. Stanford has already offered Montana, with several more schools in contact with him.

“UCLA, Oregon, Arizona, a lot of Pac-10 schools, have been talking with me,” Montana said. “A bunch of people are thinking I’m stuck on Notre Dame, too, because my dad went there and my brother is going there right now, and I’m pretty interested in them. But there are a lot of SEC schools I’m interested in, like Alabama and Tennessee and Big 12 schools like Oklahoma and Texas.”

In other words, Montana has a wide range of schools he’s interested in, and is in no real rush to make a decision.

hey at least he said he is pretty interested in us. from what i thought i had heard he wasnt really into nd at all and really loved usc so im glad to see that we can get our name in there too

 

[realitycheck]

Pretty unlikely SC offers Montana, their #1 QB target will likely be Pete Thomas from the San Diego area

 

[irishmarine]

great then let him come here and redshirt then turn the college football world on its head

 

[chyrspchuck]

god i hope we get him.....

Went to the Oaks Christian vs. Morro Bay game tonight. An away game for Oaks Christian, semifinal State Championship game. Oaks Christian dominated rushing it down Morro Bay throats all night. The team rushed for most of the game and once they were up then never looked back. Morro Bay only passed twice and tried to rush even though they were down so it was over before it began.

Nick looked really good, I don't know the exact stats but I'm sure he was 75percent completions on 20 or so attempts......1 interception, maybe 100 yards. They took him out with about 3 minutes to go in the game and let Macarena get some scrub time. I did notice he had a lot of maturity, seemed like a real leader on the field. His passes were all very good looking. Great velocity, great arm strength. Besides the 1 interception he forced he made some great passes on the run. It was awesome.

Oaks also has 2 stud tackles I was impressed with that are Class of 2010 as well. Erik Kohler and Cassius Marsh(kicked out of game for unsportsmanlike in the 3rd quarter) both 6'6 275, just beasts. Pushed guys around all night....

Joe was there(1st half up in the video booth on top of press box, 2nd half down on the field pretty much coaching Nick).

The Montana kid is up to 5 offers: South Carolina, Maryland, Arizona, Stanford, and LSU, according to scout.

There are mixed reviews about the kid out here, and I have mixed reviews as well. He puts up good numbers, but he's from the same school as Jimmy, where they don't play a super hard schedule (esp when JC was there), and he has behemoth linemen in front of him, and so he doesn't get touched. JC got sacked what, 4 times in 4 years??? It's like playing passing league for these guys. And I love Jimmy, don't get me wrong. But he faced a whole new world when he got behind a line that actually made him get rod of the ball before 20 friggin' seconds (or in last year's case, 2 seconds). So it's tough to tell with him. this summer and fall will tell a lot, in those rare games where he plays some tough comp...

He sure paid his dues last year though huh!!

Imagined conversation around the Montana dinner table:

Joe: "So... Nick... where do you want to play football next year?"

Nick: Fumbles with peas, pushing it around his plate

Joe: "I said... where are you going to go to school next year?"

Nick: "Uhh... U....sc"

Joe: "What was that?"

Nick: "USC"

Joe: "You BETTER FUCKING mean South Carolina you little bitch."

Nick: "No... umm... California"

Joe: "REALLY?"

Nick: "Yes."

Joe: "I... HAVE NO SON!!!"

Nate walks in, wearing ND jersey, smiling brightly

Nate: "Hi Daddy!"

Joe: "Hello spawn of my loins who has very little quarterback ability but chose the correct institution to attain academic enrichment for the rest of his life. I love you."

Nate and Joe embrase, Nick slits his wrists with his own butter knife, applies Emo makeup. Attends USC

 

[irishmarine]

oh my god that was fucking hilarious

 

[WabashFalcon]

oh my god that was fucking hilarious

Why, a thank ya sir!

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Grows his hair. Rasta style. NDOM is his hairdresser.

 

[NDOM]

Grows his hair. Rasta style. NDOM is his hairdresser.

Thats funny. But on a serious note, we have GOT to stop giving scholarships to these no names with 1 or 2 stars. Just cuz his name is Montana doesnt mean he should get a scholly. We need to give those out to the players that will stand a chance to play for christ sake.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

... But on a serious note....

Yeah O.K.

Come up with a good offense, and ND wins.

Quit recruiting USC dancegirls. I have a job offer for you at ND.

Pays 25, and daily flesh.

Yur friggen hilarious doomer! lol

 

[ant80]

Just offered by Ohio State. Take it fwiw.

 

[Mattmags]

Nick is taking an official visit to Ohio State this weekend...

"I talked to coach (Jim) Tressel last week. That was exciting. He is definitely an impressive coach. His record speaks for itself."

"Coach Tressel said I am their guy," Montana said. "He said until I make a decision they are only recruiting me."

"I am very, very interested in Ohio State," he said. "I can assure you Ohio State is right at the top and will continue to be. They will always be up there."

 

[wicket]

I dont want them, let him go somewhere cool like hawaii, let him be colt 2.0, that would be nice.

 

[chyrspchuck]

Does anyone think that Joe would allow his son to go to any other school but ND? I mean really, Ohio State might be up there, question is, are we going to offer him a Scholarship. I assume since we didn't pick up a QB this year we for sure will.

 

[IrishAddiction]

Its really not Joes decision, he might not like it, but who knows. If he really wants his son to go and be great, let him go somewhere where he can shine very quickly. Nick would get a shot at ND no doubt, but the competition is going to be much greater than other schools with how charlie has been recruiting at the QB position. Hell, we had two top 100 HS qbs transfer out in 07. He can be great where ever he decides to go, but it really depends on how fast he wants the spotlight.

 

[irishmarine]

itll be a family decision that joe will lean him to nd but its ultimatly ghis choice

God... I must have been either exaused or high when I wrote this. Shit. I laughed out loud!

 

[NDFan537]

Hey you may have been high but that is close to what the truth would be if he chose USC.
LOL. No way he goes to USC and as far as OSU or any other place think about this one thing.

He is Joe Montana's son, that is all he will ever be unless he follows in his fathers footsteps and somehow surpasses them..................

 

[ant80]

Apparently his interest in OSU stems partly from not wanting to compete with his brother at ND.

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

That's interesting... I think he's pretty smart for not going to ND. He will have to live up to the MYTH that is his dad...not the real man. The MYTH is far greater than the player.

 

[irishmarine]

i dont see him going to nd but i wopuild like to see him there and develope for a couple years

 

[wicket]

got an offer according to both scout and rivals

 

[Dacian_Irish]

I had to double check. Rivals and Scout show him as being offered. Wow. I think it is a great move!
