I once thought maybe
Edwards was a great recruiter... I’m sitting here watching Rebs and NM and it’s clear to me that maybe it’s not just coaching... our players really are not anywhere near the level we need to be. Now don’t get me wrong I think hunter.. could be good as well as some of our other players but they will have to be developed and there is NO way Edwards will be able to do it he is just clueless.

The HAPC wasn’t even finished when a single player that has played for Wyoming committed in either basketball or football. No way to make any conclusions for 3-4 years.
The issue with recruiting in basketball going forward is going to be the state of the program. A team that wins less than 10 games is going to be difficult to recruit to.

Vast majority of the HAPC upgrades don't affect basketball, more for football.

I wasn't just referring to the HAPC. I'm also speaking of the AA renovation and the upgrades to the Basketball locker room and facilities. Results from the HAPC remain to be seen but the facility upgrades for Basketball have been in place for a couple years.WestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 10:25 pmVast majority of the HAPC upgrades don't affect basketball, more for football.

Meh...relative program prestige is a way bigger factor in recruiting than facilities. Not saying that poor facilities would not hurt recruiting, but I am saying that there is diminishing returns to increasing the luxury level of facilities. You need to keep up with the Jones's to some extent but if the program sux...say goodbye to high quality recruits....regardless of facilities.Cornpoke wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 9:59 amI wasn't just referring to the HAPC.

Fair enough. From what I've seen and heard, the majority of the upgrades to the AA are for the fan experience, not as much in way of luring recruits. But I couldn't be sure unless I saw the before and after.Cornpoke wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 9:59 amI wasn't just referring to the HAPC.

And what a fan experience it is (for the 200 people in the seats)WestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:34 amFair enough.
