Class of 26 WBB

Post by lutecat » Thu Apr 10, 2025 11:54 am

Have we offered anyone?

Griz got a commitment today from Avory Decoite. I'm happy for Nate getting promoted but I think we're not just an automatic anymore on the best players in the state coming here. Yes she's a Big Sky girl but we've been poaching players from Missoula since Selvig left. I don't see where she holds any other offers from her social media.

And I'm saying this not knowing anything about Avory and her skill.

That's right. It's been a day. I shouldn't probably be on BN.

Good! She was offered so long ago that I lost track.

Mason Quinn of Frenchtown, at 6-2, holds an offer from the Cats too.

Montana girls have taken a lot of talent out of state — I was always surprised by how many were out and about. I think it really means something when Trish and Sunny make an offer. Perhaps some of the cream of the crop will come our way. I think Taylee’s year with the ‘Cats should have made a lot of people pay attention.

Gallatin High's Davis just committed to EWU.

Colter tweeted that there are 2 other MT girls on the team. It didn't translate to success this last year. Is Jody not a great coach or were there other things making them not a top 5 BSC team?

I think she's a very good coach, they were Big Sky regular season and tournament champions in '23-'24 and much like MSU against Ohio State this year they gave Oregon State a pretty good game in the first half in the NCAA tournament before OSU pulled away in the second half. Definitely a bit of a transition year for them since they lost a ton of talent from their championship roster. They didn't have a great record overall but easily could have won both games they played against the Bobcats, they had a 4th quarter lead during the game in Bozeman and had a great look to send the game in Cheney to OT that didn't fall.

I believe both MT girls at EWU were freshman and were very good. Grossman was freshman of the year in the BSC and McElmurry was a contributor off the bench.


Egriz quote "...the BSC is the bubs world and everyone else is just living in it."

EWU was ranked 10th in the Big Sky in FG %, and 8th in Assists. They had a strong team, but (like many teams in Big Sky last year) had a very hard time putting a total game together. They would play lights out one quarter, and then go flat the next... It happens with young teams quit a bit (3 of their top players were Freshman). There was also a lot of turnover from years past, so add that into it as well. I feel that they did a good job of holding onto the young talent from last year, and will be a force next year.

Guessing this is Heidi Smith and Courtney Smith, twin sisters listed here as transferring to MSU from Toledo.
