I have no idea what it means but it sounds good
Just to see something with his name and Montana State in the same sentence has to be good at this point.

That doesn't tell us anything unless it's in a sedan and either black or silver in color--can you confirm?

The last time I talked to them they were driving A blue and Gold Ram pickup dragging a teedy bear behind it.

Classes started this morning on campus. Does anyone know whether Bigby is here?

So is Kavell on campus? On the team? I see he's on the roster but I don't see him on the campus directory yet.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

The decision on his eligibility was supposed to come down today, but no word out of Montana State yet. A source very close to the situation said it didn't look good.

If Bigby-Williams doesn't earn admission to Montana State, I've been told he will go to a junior college and stick with Montana State, earning his way onto the team as soon as he's eligible.

About Bigby-Williams bouncing back to MSU IF he needs to go the JC route. I will say the same thing when Jordan Salley was forced by the NCAA to transfer to a JC. It is always bounced around that the player will transfer back to his original college after he completes his JC requirements, but it rarely happens. Things change with the player and program over two year and the guy always seems to go to some where else. Now you factor in the player we are talking about is 6-10 and very athletic, a lot of upper level schools are going to want to get involved with him. Even if he is not as good as we hope he is some larger school will offer him and shuffle him down the bench as an insurance policy in case they need another big body. I hope he plays for the Bobcats but if he is ruled ineligible by the NCAA for D-1 I am very pessimistic his chance of wearing the Blue and Gold in two year. Please though prove me wrong.

If he doesn't play here now, he's never going to.

Kavell Bigby-Williams, a top Montana State recruit from Great Britain, did not academically qualify and will not play for the Bobcats this winter. One source says he could go the JC route, but no landing spot has been determined as of yet.

:lol: I'm just all too familiar with this. Especially here and considering the interest he's gotten, there's a fraction of a percentage chance he comes back. Haha.

From the very beginning I was concerned whether Bigby would ever actually play for the Cats. Even with his youth and limitations, he seemed too good to be true. I hope he comes back, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I hope Coach Fish will be able to recruit other players that energize the hopefully increasing number of basketball fans. Does anyone know if Coach Fish and his staff have someone in mind to fill Bigby's scholarship?
