ColoradoHusk Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I forget, was Hovey put on scholarship or not? He was on scholarship for last fall and this spring. I am sure part of him transferring is that he probably wouldn't have had a scholarship for next summer/fall, so he would have been paying out of pocket for his graduate courses. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Has anyone considered that he might very well be transferring to Montana because they have a better graduate program in his field of study? At this juncture in his collegiate career, a better grad. school should be a much higher priority than what team he plays for. The article said he is a finance major. I could understand going to UVA, UNC Chappel Hill or Boston College. But Montana? : Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Good luck to him. I hope he gets a ton of playing time at Montana! Quote Link to comment

He probably wasn't going to be on scholarship next fall, and would have been well down the depth chart. He has 1 more year of eligibility, he might as well go have fun and play regularly for a FCS power in Montana. Quote Link to comment

Man i liked this kid but best of luck to you Hovey.. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 While I have no idea what his life long career goals are, I do know quite a few people go on to grad. school in a field different than their undergrad. major. Here's a little something I found on wiki: "The University of Montana ranks 17th in the nation and fifth among public universities in producing Rhodes Scholars, with a total of 28 such scholars." Maybe this has something to do with it? Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I really liked Hovey and thought he really had some potential. Darn. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I really liked Hovey and thought he really had some potential. Darn. Hovey is a good kid, but how much more potential can he have when he would have been a Sr. next year. It's not like he was a sophomore or junior. This is nothing against Lane, but he was really going to be nothing more than the 4th or 5th option at WR. At Montana, he will be able to get more snaps and targets. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I liked Hovey, too. He was definitely a contributor. But I can't think of any guys I'd like to see benched in his favor. Not a bad problem to have, especially if it harbors no ill will. Quote Link to comment

I just don't think using the term "potential" should be used for an upcoming 5th year senior. Quote Link to comment

I'll make sure to run by you what's an acceptable adjective to use next time any Junior/soon to be Sr. player is discussed there skippy. Derp....... Quote Link to comment
