MISSOULA, MONTANA – Bryden Boehning (pronounced bay-ning) of Glendive has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball at the University of Montana in the 2014-15 season, announced eighth-year UM head coach Wayne Tinkle today (Thursday, Nov. 14).
Boehning, a 6-foot-10, 230-pound senior at Dawson County High School this season, officially inked his NLI yesterday (Wednesday, Nov. 13, the first day of the early signing period).
As a junior last season he averaged 15.0 points and 8.0 rebounds a game, and helped the Red Devils to a third-place finish at the Eastern A divisional tournament. Following last season he was named first team all-state and all-conference. His prep basketball coach is Wade Murphy.
“We are really excited about the signing of Bryden Boehning,” Tinkle said via phone today, as his team is in Brookings, S.D., for a game against South Dakota State this evening. “He has a unique combination of size and skill. He’s a legitimate 6-foot-10, and can face up and shoot the ball away from the basket. He also has great footwork in the post.
“We are excited about his future,” Tinkle continued. “He plays at a small school, but he has been coached very well. We know that when he gets into the fold and surrounds himself with other Division 1 players he’s just going to get better and better.
“He’s a great kid and good student, and comes from a great family,” Tinkle said. “He’s a Montana kid and will carry that Grizzly pride with him every day. I know he’s thrilled to be joining the Grizzly family. We think he has a tremendous upside with his ability to play inside and out, and his level of competitiveness.”
