Shyatt Presser

[MrTitleist]

Some comments so far from Schmoldt and Gagliardi on Twitter:

Schmoldt: Good crowd at Wildcatter for the Shyatt press conference. Most of players are here. Notably absent so far are Jackson and M'Baye. #gopokes

Gagliardi: Interesting note: Players with seats reserved for this include Adam Waddell, JayDee Luster, Arthur Bouedo, Cruz, Muojeke

Gagliardi: They just started handing out the "Shyatt Happens" T-shirts to people here. An 80-year old fan put one on over his sweater vest. #gopokes

Schmoldt: Burman issuing thank yous. First to his wife, for allowing him to be a pain in the ass the last couple months. #gopokes

Gagliardi: Burman said Shyatt's name was at the top of UW's list when this process started. #gopokes

Gagliardi: Shyatt said he told the currrent players he will take care of them, but also will be tough on them. #gopokes #mwcbb

Gagliardi: Shyatt telling fans the players need them now more than ever. #gopokes #mwcbb

Gagliardi: As far as on-the-court stuff, Shyatt said team will be aggressive, disciplined and unselfish. #gopokes #mwcbb

Schmoldt: Short and sweet. Mostly hit on points that he hit on during Friday teleconference. #gopokes

Gagliardi: That didn't take long. Nice, heart-felt words by Shyatt. Now bad playing again and another standing ovation. #gopokes #mwcbb

Imo Jackson and Mbaye are gone

The Pokes got a lot better today. Better to let the cancers go grow somewhere else.

I wonder if Mbaye is influenced by Jackson. Jackson gone would be good. Not so much for Mbaye.
If they both leave I hope that Shyatt doesn't say a word to them - not "good luck", not "sorry your'e
leaving" -- nothing - no acknowledgement at all. Just let 'em walk out the door.

With two Shyatts and Duncan recruiting the vacancies, I'm not too worried about filling the voids - but it is getting late in the recruiting year.

[PonyExpressPoke]

I've wondered the same thing. Mbaye had a lot of upside and seemed to respond to a different environment. I don't think Jackson is a good fit for Shyatt since he has a strict rule against guarding someone.

I will interesting to see Shyatt and Co. brings in with the possible "4 to 5" schollies

[gopokes1399]

I think Washington the transfer from USC will be a stud! There was also a tweet with a quote that when Shyatt was asked if he was confident most of the key players would be back next year he said no

[Adv8RU12]

Think of the Nuggets. The key players, Melo and Billups leave. What happens? The Nuggets are now winning. Bye, Bye hotshots Jackson and Mbaye. Can't take the heat, huh?

[WYCowboy]

Bad attitudes hurt a team more than bad play does - they're a cancer.

[one-smooth-poke]

IMO, if they leave then let them go. After the last 3 years, they can say...."we came, we saw, we played, we got our asses kicked!"

BAHHH-BYYYEE!

If they leave, then it shows they had less than ZERO committment to the program, to the fans, or to UW!

I hope the fans turn out. He's right about one thing, without the fans coming back to the AA nothing will happen.

And historically accurate since the Pony Express did go thru all of central Wyoming.
