Jake Owsley Decides To Go To NAIA School

A few weeks back I passed along the news that JUCO big man Jake Owsley was going to be heading to Montana State next season, declaring that he would be a solid big man addition for the Bobcats.

Owsley won't be a star in the Big Sky, but he should be a solid big man for Brad Huse. Skilled big men are not exactly easy to come by in the Big Sky, and Owsley has some skill. For one of the best JUCO teams in the country, he averaged about 15 minutes a game during the season, and represented himself well when he got the chance to start a couple of games.

However, it looks like he has changed his mind. He will now be headed to NAIA Montana Western, according to kbzk.com:

Montana Western head men's basketball coach Steve Keller announced the signing of Jake Owsley, a 6'8" post player from Bozeman and North Idaho College (NIC), to a Frontier Conference/NAIA letter of intent.

We wish him the best of luck.
