Ok I’ll have to admit I’ve not seen Alex play in person but I’ve only read the press clippings. But when a AA player scores 37 one weekend followed up by a 51 point outing one tends to notice. His 10 for 13 3 pointers for a 6’8” forward should cause one to take notice. The only reason I could imagine he would choose the cats over the Griz is their engineering program. He should realize by the time he graduates the engineering field will be so polluted with engineering graduates that he will have to flip burgers at McDonalds. Ok maybe a slight exaggeration there but who wants to be a train engineer in this day and age.
This begs the question. Two bluechip prospects, three if you count Tres Tinkle have chosen to take their talents elsewher? Ok I understand Tres but Riley Wooster who is getting attention as the best freshman in the country and now Alex who has signed a LOI with the cats. It’s difficult enough to find any D-1 talent in Montana much less in your own backyard. Not to criticize the Grizzly coaching staff but I will. Why Travis, why Chris Cobb and why Jay Flores have we not signed Riley and why are we letting Sprinkle sign what looks to be the best player in the state? Unfortunately all we can do is speculate at this point because Travis does not choose to comment about individual players. As fans it’s frustrating to not see the best talent in Montana not end up in a Grizzly uniform. I rest my case.
