Got that last trip in I guess. Did Cats get after him late? Always seems odd when players commit somewhere else right after a visit to another school

Praytor Just committed to Toledo

I am guessing NIL probably had some influence on his decision. There is a current Toledo player who is reportedly making over $100,000 in NIL.

Coach Logie offered another combo guard it was announced yesterday.

Last night, the Bobcat Women's team secured a commitment from 5'11" guard Brianne Bailey of South Fremont High School in St. Anthony, Idaho. As a junior, she averaged 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 steals per game, while shooting 45% from the field. Last season, she was named the Idaho 3A Conference Player of the Year and had several standout performances, including games with over 30 points. BTW Idaho is absolutely loading with D-1 talent this year.



Bailey is one of the most highly recruited players Coach Binford has landed. By my count, she received over 15 scholarship offers from Division I schools, including Oregon State, Washington State, and Boise State. Big Sky schools that offered her included Weber State, Eastern Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Idaho State.

The Bobcats extended an offer this week to Chiante' Tramble, a 6'2" point guard from Independence Community College (technically a CC). Tramble, a freshman, has been listed as both a 2025 and 2026 recruit, but I believe he’s an NCAA qualifier and is being recruited for this year’s class. Last season at Edmond North High School in Oklahoma, he averaged 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists while shooting 44% from 3-point range. After reviewing his highlights, I’d say he has Harald Frey-level shooting range. While he’s listed as a combo guard, most colleges seem to view him as a point guard.

This past week, Tramble had an outstanding performance at a JC kick-off tournament, and his recruitment has exploded. In the last two days alone, D1 schools like Cal Baptist, Cal Fullerton, St. Bonaventure, Texas Grand Valley, Tarleton State, Eastern Michigan, and Montana State have all extended offers. Additionally, a dozen other D1 schools, including Weber State, are showing interest.

That's interesting.


Okay, I know his name is spelled slightly different.

Combo guard 6-4 CJ Purdie, a 3-star prospect from Combine Academy in Charlotte, North Carolina, visited Montana State this past weekend. He currently holds offers from Samford and New Orleans (the latter being from 2022) and is drawing significant interest from other Division I programs, including Eastern Washington and Tulane. Six players last year from Combine Academy signed scholarship offers with college teams across Division I, Division II, and junior colleges. Purdie boasts an impressive 3.8 GPA, which has attracted attention from Ivy League schools. He is also the cousin of NBA star CJ McCollum of the New Orleans Pelicans. Keep an eye on him during the early signing period next month.

Here is a little writeup I found

CJ Purdie | 6’3” | Combine Academy
Purdie is efficient on both ends of the floor, scoring and defensively disrupting opposing guards on the ball. He is also a sound playmaker. He has a high basketball IQ and the ability to make plays even when nothing appears to be available. Overall, Purdie’s skill set, combined with his physical attributes being a bigger guard make him a force in the backcourt. He currently holds offers from University of New Orleans and Samford.

I sure like the look of those photo shoots they can do with not one, not two, but the last three Big Sky Championship trophies! The CJ McCollum connection could be something to look out for with the latest recruit, as Logie's last two years as an assistant at Lehigh overlapped with McCollum's first two years as a player there.
