On Montana Tech:
"Montana Tech was the best decision I could have made concerning my college education.  The education you receive is second to none, from the professors to the support staff, every employee’s main concern is your education.  No matter the department, you are sure to be receiving first class instruction.  Aside from being a great place to come and grow as a student, Montana Tech is a great place to come and grow as a person.  The friends, the memories, and the lessons learned are things that you will never forget.  Never for one second have I regretted coming to Montana Tech!"

On Oredigger Basketball:
"Montana Tech Basketball was an awesome experience for me, in particular my last year.  I had the privilege of playing with great players and great people.  Montana Tech basketball is trying to give a new meaning to the word "Team".  The friendships formed on the hardwood will last forever.   Also, the lessons learned will stay with you and make you a better person. Work ethic, responsibility, determination, and toughness are traits that will help you no matter where you are in your life; and it is these very traits that Oredigger Basketball is founded upon.  Without a doubt becoming an Oredigger has made me a better person than I was before."

On Montana Tech:
" Montana Tech was one of the best decisions I made when transferring from Miles Community College.  Not only are the professors extremely good at teaching but also very understanding to the student-athletes and their schedules.  Whenever I needed extra help or an extension on an assignment, they were always willing to do what they could to help.  Another plus side about Montana Tech is that it's centrally located.  A trip to larger cities around the state is only at the most a few hours away.  Fishing, skiing and NCAA Div. I sports are in close proximity to Butte.  Catching a Griz or Cat game on the weekend was always an option.  Tech was a wise decision and I'm glad I'll be receiving my degree from here."

On Oredigger Basketball:
"Basketball at Montana Tech was a great experience for me.  The coaching was great and the work ethic developed from this program is irreplaceable.  My teammates were like brothers to me: traveling on the road was always a good time.  The coaches have an open door policy and want to help with any problems you have; and in return they expect you to practice everyday with intensity.  The stories I have from the last two years are unforgettable, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to play basketball for Montana Tech.."

On Montana Tech:
"Montana Tech is a great institute for advancing yourself in whatever field you are entering.  It has a great and helpful faculty that is for the most part very understanding of the needs of a student athlete and are pretty willing to work with us around our travel schedules. The school has great placement for after graduation as well, in that you will pretty much get a job in whatever field you would like with your degree.  Tech also has great internship opportunities, which I have taken advantage of for two summers working in California for Kiewit.  It was a great opportunity and a great learning experience which every student should take advantage of during school."

On Oredigger Basketball:
"I have been in the Montana Tech basketball program for 5 years and it has really taken a turn for the best over the past year.  We have a really good weightlifting program now and put a lot of effort into getting stronger in the off-season.  We have a good system with very knowledgeable coaches that are willing to go the extra mile for us as players and also just as people.  They push us to be our best and don't settle for less than our best effort every single day.  This program means a lot to me and I hope to see it prosper in the years to come."

On Montana Tech:
"Over the past two years, I have learned that Montana Tech is a great school for education. The people here are very friendly, the classes are challenging, and instructors and tutors are readily available for 1-on-1 time. If you graduate from Tech, you are guaranteed a job with the near 100% placement rate. The campus is not as big as other universities, but you will have a great college experience at Tech. Being a student-athlete at Tech would also prepare you for a successful life after college and basketball. "

On Oredigger Basketball:
"Our basketball program competes as hard as possible every year. We play some of the top schools the NAIA has to offer in addition to a few NCAA Division I schools. Our coaches push us to succeed on and off the basketball floor and love you as a person and a student-athlete. This season our program has moved in a new direction; as a result, we are competiing for a conference championship and the chance to play in the NAIA National Tournament. "
