My initial thought was - man, that doesn't look good, but then saw in the article she wants to be an engineer. Pretty cool. Best wishes to her!
Her mama is still holding a grudge... There is no way in hell she would be a Griz

Her mama is NOT Karen Deden. Karen is Lexi's aunt. Lexi's dad is Mike Deden, Karen's brother, a very good high jumper for UM. Now their mother, Nancy Deden, Lexi's grandma, probably still holds a grudge. She expected Selvig to be in her corner in her fight to switch high school girls basketball season to a winter rather than fall sport (and switch volleyball to the fall). Credit to her, Ridgeway and others, they won that battle.
My grandmother used to golf with Nancy, who spoke at great length about how the Montana sports seasons were impacting Karen’s recruitment. I had heard she was also at the forefront of the Title IX battle at the high school level in the 80’s. Might have been just a rumor, but something about Sentinel boys and girls having to switch locker rooms mid season as the boys were larger/nicer.

Thanks for the correction

Lexi's mother is Dawn Siliker. Another poke in Shannon's eye from a from Lady Griz

Does the fact that Dawn is her mother change fact that Lexi wants to be an engineer or are some people just out to get Shannon?

I'm a big academics guy, and I don't know the player, the family or the situation. But, if I were from a big Griz family and from Missoula, I wouldn't go to MSI just for engineering. Maybe to Georgia Tech, but not to a rival school.
Perhaps you know, but if not, perhaps you should dig deeper before making comments like you did. I don't know and have no inside info, but don't think you do either. If you do, great. Tell us.

Nobody cares that Robin Selvig let the best Missoula girls D1 player EVER get away during his watch but now it's all Shannons fault for not landing her far-inferior niece? I've never seen Lexie play but she was 2nd on her own Sentinel team in rebounds? Good thing there wasn't a message board back when Karen bolted town or similar internet-trolls would have been ripping him too.

Did Ga Tech offer her a full ride?

Let's see...
Karen - University of Washington,
Lexie - Montana State
Yep, comparable.

I wonder why she did not take the offer from Air Force. Chance for an awesome career - colorado springs is not that far of a drive from Missoula. They do have an engineering school with guaranteed placement within the airforce after graduation - as well as starting off her career as an officer

Uh, Colorado Springs is a 965-mile drive from Missoula. I wouldn't consider it a quick drive by any means.Hells bells said:
As for staying on topic, good for Lexie. She stated in the article that she wanted to be an engineer and MSU has that program, UM doesn't. Some reasons why certain student-athletes choose certain schools to play their sport is because they also have the academic programs they want to explore.
