Montana State Bobcats

Montana State added athleticism and versatility to the perimeter Monday, signing guard Chris McCall and forward Shawn Reid to National Letters-of-Intent.

McCall brings a wide array of skills to the Bobcat program. The 6-3 guard averaged 12 points and seven assists per game as a junior at Cheyenne High School in Las Vegas. He earned Second Team All-State honors, as well.

"Chris is a special player and can play any of the three perimeter positions," Huse said. "He is an outstanding shooter and he’s athletic. He’s a winner, a competitor, and he’s a disciplined person who will bring leadership to our program at a young age. Cheyenne High School will be one of the top-ranked teams in Nevada, and his coach, Teral Fair, really does a great job. In adddition, he played for one of the elite AAU programs in the country, the Las Vegas Prospects. I think Chris is prepared to help us from day one and he’s a great addition to our program on and off the floor."

Reid comes to MSU from Post Falls, Idaho, High School, where he scored 13 points a game as a junior. The 6-5 forward chipped in nine rebounds and two assists an outing, as well, earning Inland Empire League Most Valuable Player honors. He scored 22 points and grabbed 20 boards at his school’s regional tournament last season to give Post Falls its first trip to the Idaho State Tournament as a 5A school, and earned MVP honors at the Coeur d’Alene Holiday Inn Express Invitational Tournament. He averaged 14 points, six rebounds and two assists as a sophomore, when he also earned All-Inland Empire honors.

"Shawn has had a very good high school career and has proven to be a complete scorer in that he can make threes and get to the rim. I like his versatility on the offensive end, and I expect with continued development he’ll fit nicely in our offense. It’s very nice to add another player from the region and he brings a high GPA to our program, as well. Shawn is a super kid and a great addition to Montana State."
