Another Durham to MSU

I have heard today that Miles City Kalli Durham has committed to play basketball for for the Bobcat Women starting in 2011-12 season's. This is the Women's program 3rd commit for this year. More later.

I have seen her play a few times here in Billings. She is a great catch.

Fantastic to have another Durham back in Blue & Gold! Can't wait to watch her play!

Natural fit with the name! She definitely is a gym rat, but the one negative I would say is that she's coming from a high school program that's had a ton of success with Custer County, but this hasn't translated to many success stories in the last 10 years at the collegiate level when you look at all the girls who were All-State. Veis is a system guy and in their offense, Durham has had screen after screen after screen set for her in sets. Not saying she can't adjust, but it will be interesting to see her progression in terms of having to create her own shot at a collegiate level. Of course, I'd say the exact same thing at Vining from CMR who signed with the Griz.

Veiss system might have helped Kalli however he is also very demanding on his players so they become mentally tough and you don't have to worry about any lack of defensive skills since the Cowgirls stress that in their play.

To me it is so nice that Coach Binford has really established the Lady Cats back to where they are suppose to be. I was worried that Selvig would regain control of recruiting in Montana after landing Lexi Nelson, Hurley, Carly Selvig, Sullivan etc.

For the Lady Cats to win the recruiting battles for some of the top kids coming out next year in the State is tremendous.

Should be a fun team to watch in the years to come.

Kalli is an absolute stud in the classroom and community. She is a great get for the university and the basketball program. As a fan, I can't be happier.
