Gunner has good size and speed. If he's got even close to the catching ability as his brother he'll be a good one

Great news! If he's in the mold of his brother he's going to be fantastic!

Great news. Keep that pipeline of Colorado kids coming up to Laramie. Nothing sticks in the craw of a sheep fan or a fluff fan like losing a CO kid to the Pokes, and then that kid turning out to be a stud.

Interesting story about the Gentry's, and Gunner in particular. I went to the Lowe's in Greeley yesterday to pick up some material to start a project. As I'm walking out, a guy pulls up, rolls his window down and yells "Go Pokes!" This happens somewhat frequently in Northern Colorado, especially lately, so I didn't think much of it and said something like "Yep, should be a great season!"

He then stops his pickup, and says, "You a Wyoming guy, follow football?" I said yes, and then he asked if I knew who Tanner Gentry was. "Of course!" I say, "Hope he'll do great with the Bears!" He says, "That's my grandson."

We talked for a few minutes about Tanner, what a great player he was, some of the outstanding catches we had witnessed, and how he was hoping to catch on in the NFL. He then asked if I knew about Gunner. I told him I'd heard he had committed, and if he was as good as Tanner, we were in for a lot of fun. He told me that Gunner has at least as good of hands as Tanner, probably didn't have Tanner's speed, but was a little taller. I told him if he had Tanner's hands and attitude, we'd be fine and I couldn't wait to see him in the Brown & Gold.

Really wish I had a few more minutes to pick his brain about Wyoming football and get the insider's perspective, but through a window in a Lowe's parking lot on a busy Sunday afternoon probably wasn't the best place for an in-depth discussion. Anyway, thought is was cool, and bodes well for Gunner and the team. Looking forward to seeing him on Saturdays.

GO POKES!
