I don’t think the days of Montana D1 basketball players are over but I do agree it is becoming increasingly rare. This state will produce some and when it happens the Cats need to be in (and win) the recruitment battle. This increasingly includes out of state competition. Talent is not “hidden” these days.superbobcat wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 12:34 pmThe day of the MT D1 player unfortunately no longer exists. I hope he can land somewhere that he can enjoy the game. Good luck and thanks for all he hard work.

Raequan Evans from Billings Skyview started 26 of 27 games for Florida State last year as well. Tres Tinkle started all 4 years in the PAC 12.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:12 pmRollie Worster plays for Utah and he is doing okay.superbobcat wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 12:34 pmThe day of the MT D1 player unfortunately no longer exists.

I'm pretty sure there was another kid from Skyview that also played for OSU. He was only a year or two older or younger than Manuel. At one time, both of them and Tinkle were all on the OSU roster at the same time. It's pretty amazing that a Pac 12 team had 3 Montana kids on their roster, 2 from the same school.LTown Cat wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 6:49 amJosh Huestis at StanfordCataholic wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:36 pmRaequan Evans from Billings Skyview started 26 of 27 games for Florida State last year as well.

Edit
The Manuel kid from Skyview played at OSU and started for UM.
They'll have four Montana high school kids next year as Peoples is also joining the two on the team now.Desert_Bobcat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 2:18 pmGermer commits to NAIA National Champs College of Idaho. He joins a former Idaho/Montana Select AAU coach in Colby Blaine and only adds talent to the best NAIA school in the country at the moment. This is a great move to learn and develop even more from a coach who’s knows Alex’s strengths.
Wish him the best and don’t diminish this move. Blaine is one of the bigger names at the NAIA level and will go as high as he wants in the coaching realm.

Also worth noting that with the addition of Germer and Peoples there are now at least 6 guys on CoI’s roster who played under the Select Basketball umbrella. These guys like Coach Blaine and it shows.Cat Grad wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 2:47 pmThey'll have four Montana high school kids next year as Peoples is also joining the two on the team now.Desert_Bobcat wrote: ↑Fri Mar 31, 2023 2:18 pmGermer commits to NAIA National Champs College of Idaho.
