A couple questions here. The invites that have been mentioned during the past couple months; were they offered or but invites? For that was really never associated with the notion of persons on campus under an invitation that they either were offered or but visiting.

Howell, Barhoum, Rudd, and Couture all definitely have offers. I don’t believe either Waddington or Shippen have been offered, both visited when in Missoula for a camp.

Williams doesn’t report offers but I’m almost certain she has one.
 
Shippen is from Idaho Falls. She's been playing on several highly competitive AAU teams the past couple of years that have put players on a number of Pac12 schools.

She is a really talented guard, very athletic and strong. I think if I remember right she holds offers from ISU/WSU/SUU that she got right off the bat last year, she may well have more. The Skyline team has been one of the best girls teams in the state the last couple of years, and Shippen has been a regular on Varsity since her Freshman year.

Her mom played at San Diego State/BYU and her dad was a walk-on at BYU as well. Pretty skilled basketball/hoops family. Wouldn't be surprised if she didn't end up at BYU.
 
I know it's further down the road, but does anyone have any info on the star Freshman who plays for Baker?

I read where Teagan Erickson committed to MSU. She had visited Missoula in the fall.

Williamson is gonna be a tough get for either Montana school. Waddington wants to go to a fball school so possibility, Cherrick goes to MSU or stays local in Billings is our guess. The 25's still lots of time before they narrow things down. However, we are aware Barhoum has visited both Montana schools this past summer

Yep, her.

Amazing the women's basketball talent that Montana has produced the past 50 years. Another reason to be so excited about the future of Lady Griz basketball.

Another you can possibly add to the 2024 listing above is a 5'11 PG/SG Sydnie Rodriguez. Listed as a 3.5 < https://www.prospectsnation.com/player/sydnie-rodriguez

Uncommitted as yet but with offers from Cal Poly, Southern Utah, Utah Tech., Abilene Christian, Loyola Marymount, Utah Valley, Army and Southern Utah St.

Then there's 6'3" Elizabeth Gentry (P-PF) from Littleton, Colorado (with 12 double-doubles in 33 varsity games as an underclassman: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15593704/Elizabeth-Gentry She has offers from Santa Barbara, Seattle, Stetson, Army, Davidson and Utah St No. #20 in the following:
Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mitb0qkShw

Some others that may be interesting: A vastly overlooked player potential that also likes volleyball:
Alana Marrs a 6'3" or 6'4" 2025 from Ellensburg, Wash. The same school that 6'6" Olivia Anderson (Washington Huskies) went to.

Finley Parcher a 5'11" 2027 from Lynden, Wash.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IstClBJXqio

Grace Hintz 5'9" 2025 from Lynden Christian, Wash. (The same school that Libby Stump went to)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqJlPkQ4APo

Layne Rogel 5'10" 2025 from Ellensburg, Wash.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUJYvuDkOA4
 
For my money, I'd sign Devin Coppinger (5'10" PG/SG) out of Nooksack Valley MS, Everson, Washington. And Elizabeth Gentry (6'3" P/PF) out of Columbine HS, Littleton, Colorado.
 
Some highlights on Adria Lincoln:

Smooth, good length on the perimeter, crafty finisher around the hoop.

If Pac-12 schools are after her, it’ll likely be difficult for Brian to keep her home (just the way it works in WBB).

Griz had coaches at all Williams games at State AA tourney in Butte. Holsinger and Tinkle last night and saw Williams come see them after the game. Looked pretty comfortable. Skyview played hellgate for 3/4 but Covill was held out due to injury. Ugly game and Williams didn't play that well but could see she's a big time player.

Cadence Graham 8th grader from Butte another to keep an eye on I believe she played varsity.

Correct, played varsity as an 8th grader and comes from a hoops family. Had some games where she scored double digits too as well as hitting a game winner. Gonna be really good!

How does it work to be an 8th Grader playing varisty? There was a stud runner for Hardin this year that won state as an 8th grader. Can they only compete up through Junior year then?

They still get 8 semesters of eligibility after finishing the 8th grade.
