MBBALL University of Montana Mens Basketball Recruiting: 2025+

Grizfan-24 said:
I've made some adjustments for 2025-26 Projections:

1. If Montana opts in to the House Settlement, and they will because they have NIL collectives, they are going to have scholarships for all 15 rosters positions. If they opt out, they'd have the same constraint of 13 as before.

2. As such right now for next year all rostered players are eligible to receive scholarships (Dick is a WO) would be considered to be a scholarship player. This makes future calculations a lot easier.

3. Right now Montana likely has 2 or 3 available roster positions for next year that can be used. Two weeks ago that number might have been at least five. So you can expect some post-season recruiting to happen to add to the roster that we might not have expected. I had expected maybe one scholarship (which they filled w/ Aguino) with the two RS kids this year coming off RS and on to the active roster.

There are a couple of things that you are misunderstanding. Opting in does not give you two more grants. It just allows you to spit grants. You could give full grants to 13 or you can split the money between the 15 as reduced grants.

NIL is a whole separate thing and the school does not set that up or offer it. It comes from outside organizations and is not part of the contract between the school and the player. I suppose it could make up the differencce from the reduced grants.

Also, red shirt players are part of the roster and count as part of the totals allowed.

You can have as many walk ons as you want, but if they make you go over the 15 person roster limit, then they simply do not appear on the roster. I belive that they can still get NIL.

Interesting note; Oregon has a total of $7,000,000 in NIL money going into their players. All of their walk ons are getting $150,000 in NIL money. It helps being THE Nike school.

This is incorrect. If a school opts-in they can offer 15 scholarships instead of 13 for men's basketball.

Not sure why it took 5 days for any of us to catch this, but we got a commitment from Luke Moxon!

That part of Cali is known as the Lost Coast, so there is that.... With that said, took a trip to Crater Lake and to this part of California in 2019. That trip remains top five on my family, my wife, and my vacation list. We love the trip so much so that we want to do a repeat in a couple of years.

After reading about and watching some film of this kid, he looks to fit the Griz mold. Hard-working, team player who attacks the basket under control and with fervor!

Did you go to Burney Falls or over to the Lava Beds Park? Cools stops when we were in that part of CA a long time ago.
 
The Moxon commitment is completely out of the blue. I think it is legit but because Moxon almost has zero social media presence, it is hard to cross check. He isn't followed by anyone from the Griz staff on Twitter and only credits Broome on his IG. His verbal hasn't been confirmed by VC yet and outside of the IG post and the humboldt area press, it has been crickets.

Has a vibe of the Kriegmont verbal (from Juneau Alaska) from a few years ago who was briefly on the squad as a walk-on. Prior to this year, the only offer Moxon reported to VC was from Colorado School of the Mines. Entirely possible he's a late bloomer and because he's in a relatively under-recruited area of northern California, he could have seen recruitement pick up in the last month or so.

Physical kid. Good athleticism.

No, we didn't make it over that way. We stayed along the coast. That's another reason we want to do a repeat trip. Extend the trip by about two weeks and hit Mt. Shasta area along with Lassen Volcanic NP.

Other than Burney Falls and Lava Beds, do you have other suggestions of places we should visit in that part of northern California?

Other than the coast/redwoods, that's all we did. The falls were cool, but Burney was a dump (that was about 20 years ago, so maybe it's changed?) Our favorite was the lava beds and going down into the old lava tubes. Really cool.

That windmill dunk is impressive.

It's gonna happen one of these years, that we recruit a kid way under the radar who turns out to me a great player, a la John Stockton (whom we offered) or Steph Curry.

Agree and so is his turnaround three and dribble penetration.
