Re: Off-season: collective bargaining

For the lawsuit, we paid more as a percentage but waaay less total dollars than p4. Huh? I’m not following what you’re saying. The proposed settlement is for $2.7 billion in damages from 2016-present but the P5 to only cover 40% of that amount. It equates to more liability per school in the P5 but ...

Re: 24-25 Roster

Henry, Agbim, Ebube and Nesbitt formally introduced today. I believe that leaves us with 3 open schollies. Kenny Foster would be a tremendous help to this roster next year. https://gowyo.com/news/2024/5/24/mens-basketball-wicks-announces-addition-of-four-cowboys-to-roster-for-2024-25.aspx?fbclid=IwZ...

Re: Off-season: collective bargaining

P4 conferences have signed onto the settlement agreement. No G5 conferences have yet. The reason - the NCAA and the P4 structured the proposed settlement agreement in a way where the G5 and FCS teams would have to shoulder an unfair amount of the antitrust damage burden accrued from 2016-present (c...

Re: Off-season: collective bargaining

This is likely the game changer. Schools can now directly pay players “above the table”. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/ncaa-power-5-agree-to-deal-that-will-let-schools-pay-players/ar-BB1mWOJo This is a step in the right direction in my opinion.

Re: 24-25 Roster

Good news! Kot panned out pretty well for us last season. Hoping Agbim will be the same or better caliber. Speaking of strange additions to the roster, Dylan Warlick is also still listed. He decommitted on May 16. Wonder if he's in play again as well? I don’t think he is. There haven’t been roster ...

Re: 24-25 Roster

The athletics site has been regularly updating the Basketball roster page. A few nuggets from it: 1) DeWeese has been removed. Probably safe to say he is gone and has departed his office. 2) Agbim has been strangely added back to the roster with no mention anywhere. Id speculate that he might be an...

Re: Linder leaving

Wow! Seems like we did an awful job negotiating. On the face of the deal, it appears we rolled out the red carpet for Texas Tech. We get 2 road basketball games for $150K each!?!? Couldn’t we have got that deal without a buyout being involved? The other term is a $200K increase for our football gam...

Re: Jordan Nesbitt - Do You Agree with the Signing?

Agree with Lander on this one. If you'll recall, Leonard Washington wasn't exactly an updstanding citizen when we signed him. Turned out just fine. Good point. He deserves a chance but I hope he is on a short leash. He is a father too so this is probably a critical year for him and his family’s fut...

We haven’t been that great at 184 (Ducca) or HWT. Perhaps we are expecting movement in weights.

Wyoming adds Sam Mitchell from the University of Buffalo. He qualified for the NCAA championships and went 1-2 at 197 pounds accounting for Buffalo’s lone win of the tournament this past season. Seems to be a good get!

Re: Jordan Nesbitt - Do You Agree with the Signing?

4th team in 5 years. I’m just not seeing the upside here for a 1 year signing and needed team chemistry for this team to have any success.

But great to hear the perspective that Wicks should keep him on a short leash.

Jordan Nesbitt - Do You Agree with the Signing?

Jordan Nesbitt from Hampton via Saint Louis committed to Wyoming over the weekend. It sounds like Saint Louis previously got rid of him. There are many articles out there on this guy but I am puzzled why we would bring a person like this into the program. In my opinion, let’s take our lumps next yea...
