This is the first year.
I didn't notice a lot of the players coming out of MT were JUCO guys, which is realistic, but an accident on my part. I'll fix that next time.
Since the game doesn't generate a list that shows you where guys went.
Here are the best HS recruits (non-JUCO) from Montana and where they went:
Quote:
Messiah Parrish (5*) - Unsigned
Ashton Easton (5*) - Kansas State
Hugo Pringle (4*) - Alaska
Aaren Burton (4*) - Unsigned
Harper Elliott (4*) - George Washington
Kerry Shelton (4*) - Unsigned
Mason Griffiths (3*) - James Madison
Adam Anderson (3*) - Montana State
Trent Wilder (3*) - Idaho
Andres Mercer (3*) - Unsigned

I wonder if this will be a trend where the best guys in the state can't get signed because the schools who'd pick them out don't have scholarships, so they have to walk on somewhere or if it's a one-year thing.
Rather than doing a year-by-year over Minnesota State, I'm just going to tell you about them in ten years. Plus, it'll keep me from tinkering with the program or trying to shore things up on my own for another decade and left to their devices, it'll be interesting to see how long coaches hang there and whether they can turn that thing around or not.
Montana's NBA team is still a decade away, because I won't bring them in until I can run them.
2026-27 FINAL FOUR
1) NC State 4) Clemson 4) Alabama 4) Cincinnati
NC State won the national title over Alabama, its their second straight Final Four appearance and the first national title in program history.
Hilarious, a Montana kid not contained in my experiment (he predates it) transferred from Montana State and was on the NC State championship team's roster.
