Montgomery rated 4 Tremendous-es by Hoke, achieves a .667 Tremendous %

Submitted by iawolve on

I thought Montgomery was a pretty good pick up, I will be interested to see how he continues to develop our guys. I noticed he was rated 4 Tremendous-es (no idea how to make that plural since you can't) by Hoke. It was actually 4 in just 6 sentences so that has to put him in every select company to have a Tremendous rating of .667. That might be Hall of Fame credentials.

 

From Rivals:

"He's tremendous. He's played in the league, a four-year starter at Iowa. They do a tremendous job coaching their fronts at Iowa," Hoke praised. "He's very fundamental, tremendous technique. He was at Wyoming while I was at San Diego State, so there's a little familiarity of how his guys played. I think he's tremendous, and we're really fortunate to have him."

I really like the fact that he was young, someone to connect with our players and mature as a coach with help from veterans like Mattison and Hoke.

However I feel like Hoke and Mattison do a good enough job of connecting with players and recruits on their own. Still a person I like having on the staff though.

He is pretty much the only young guy on staff so hopefully BH does a great job as HC and grooms him in the future to take over for him....after the multiple NC season BH has of course.

The plural of any noun ending in "s", "z" and I think "x"  (except for a few words of Latin origin) is always -es.  That's why we say "Keeping up with the Joneses."  Our previous coach's family is the Rodriguezes (not Rodriguezs or Rodriguez's).  And so on.

The plural of tremendous thus must indeed be tremendouses.
