Scott Blankney is a former University of Montana men's basketball player facing a big decision. After completing his last season with the team and starting in just four games, he's at a crossroads: retire from the game he loves, or continue playing overseas.
Fewer than 2% of college hoopers in the U.S. move on to the NBA or WNBA after school. The international market for pro basketballers is much hotter, but going overseas isn't always smooth sailing.
On this episode, Kaimin sports editor Jack Marshall sits down with Kaimin Cast host Austin Amestoy and shares the stories of UM athletes past and present who have faced the challenges and triumphs of shooting for stardom outside the U.S.

Elinor Smith reports on efforts to expand outdoor access to everyone. Through programs focused on community outreach and building, students of color and people across Missoula are able to get outdoors and try new things.

Missoula is a recreationist’s dream, but for many Americans, the idea of accessing the outdoors is only a dream as well. The U.S. Forest Service says that, while people of color make up 40% of the population, nearly 70% of visitors to public lands are white.
Now, two grassroots organizations in Missoula are aiming to narrow that spread. Here Montana and Latino Outdoors Missoula are headed by two University of Montana alums who discovered a love for recreation they’re now imparting on other Missoulians, one adventure at a time.
On this episode, Kaimin Cast host Austin Amestoy sits down with Erynn Castellanos and Alex Kim to chat about breaking down barriers to the great outdoors.
