Two different guys. Maurice Kirby signed a LOI. He's playing a JUCO year and will be on the team next year. His younger brother is Devin Kirby, the subject of this thread.

Thanks! I finally figured it out now...

The older Kirby is 6'9'' and left Virginia Tech for Coffeyville CC... GOT IT NOW! haha. That's exciting. I'm excited to get a recruit with some height! Things keep looking better and better for this program!

So far as I know, Devin has visited only Loyola and Montana State this summer. Montana State recently offered Devin's high school teammate, junior Gabe McGlothan, so they have that going for them. But if I had to speculate (and Lord knows I love to speculate), I'd guess Devin commits to the 'Blers to be reunited with his big bro.

Today's the day. I hope Devin commits to the Ramblers!

I'm feeling a little less confident about our chances since Devin recently followed on Twitter Skyline Sports, a media company which covers the Big Sky Conference, where Montana State is a member.

You are all over the Kirby beat. Pam Zekman would be proud.

It's looking more and more like Devin will commit to Montana State, as he retweeted this:

Devin committed to Montana State. Good luck to him. He seems like a great kid.

Craig Kilborn played hoops at Montana State before working at ESPN, The Daily Show, and The Late Late Show.

Good luck to him. It would be nice to work out a non-con game in 2016.

He probably chose Montana State over Loyola for the superior academics and the warm climate.
Let's go Braden!

I agree. He really does. I hope he is able to complete his comeback.

There are a couple of recruiting nuggets in this Henricksen article today: http://bit.ly/1KuzFRq
