July Evaluation Period: Bobcat Women

This is the third in a series of four posts, looking at what positions the Montana State men’s, Montana State women’s, the Montana men’s as well as the Lady Griz basketball programs may be looking to evaluate and ultimately fill roster spots next year. This post will cover the Montana State women’s program.

The Bobcat Women’s program will graduate all conference candidate point guard Erica Perry, and potential starter at center Jamie Thornton. Additionally they will have two more open scholarships to given them a total of four to play with. MSU head Coach Tricia Binford prefers to recruit freshman classes but may drop into the JC ranks if needed. While info on women’s recruiting is extremely hard to come by I believe the MSU coaches are mainly looking at high school kids currently. If they were to sign a JC they more typically sign them in the spring.

Odds and Ends – 7/06/09

Time for some miscellaneous odds and ends from last week.

• Matt Miller was featured in articles in both the Rivals Arizona State site an d the Scout Boise State site. Both sites claim Miller has narrowed his college list to Arizona State, Boise State, Stanford, Oregon and Oregon State and has taken unofficial visits to all five out of eleven offers. Between the two articles the positions of wide receiver, tight end, linebacker and safety were all mentioned as possible college positions. They also indicate he is not in a hurry to make his choice.

Bobcat Women Recruit: Chaunice Powell

I ran across something today on Rivals.com that I very rarely do. The name of a basketball recruit that it appears that Tricia Binford and her staff is recruiting.

NorCalPreps.com, part of the Rivals.com network is reporting that the Bobcats are recruiting Chaunice Powell of Newark Memorial high school of Newark, California. Powel, a 5-8 point guard prospect lead her Memorial team to a 20-9 record this past year.
