Just watched interview with newly drafted receiver Keon Coleman. Gotta love the guy. Seems very likable, intelligent, and a hard worker. Hope he and Josh can make some football magic. I saw it too. Has a lot going for him. Wish Diggs would not have flamed out on the Bills. Coleman is a great replac...

Schools paying athletes is preferable to NIL imo. Interesting question that just popped in my head. What’s preventing nfl teams circumventing salary cap via some kind of NIL poop? I know players can sign endorsements but what’s preventing companies aligned with certain franchises/cities from rollin...

This is pure speculation, but could be more than just money/football at play with this transfer. Since he has already graduated, maybe he is looking for a specific postgrad program that UW doesn't offer? He is a good football player, but professional football probably isn't in the cards for him. A ...

Probably not given how few G5 players were drafted. He may have had better luck had he transferred to a P5 school. I still think if you’re nfl talent, they’ll find you. It’s not that there’s no talent in the g5, it’s that the most likely pro players already transferred. Gibbs was an excellent playe...

I think we will see Pregnon get drafted next year and Neyor has an outside shot if he can prove himself at Nebraska after the ACL and being buried in Texas’ talented depth chart. I’m not sure of any other players who have transferred in recent years who any of us thought might have nfl draft talent...

I agree. The other guys are probably going to be camp bodies.

The money for Crum also pretty much guarantees he will stick with the Broncos in some capacity unless he entirely flames out.

Looks like we lost 2 OL to the portal

Who ? Any pickups so far?

Crum and Gibbs have a legit shot at making the practice squads.

I saw that Solomon Byrd got drafted but did not see any other former UW players who transferred who did.

It seems clear that if you want to get drafted your best bet to enter the transfer portal after a couple of years playing for any g5 team

I wonder who made the decision but it should not have come as a complete surprise. There has not been a lot of effort to hype the game in the Cheyenne market. If it was not for this board and 7220 I would not have even known it was scheduled. Honestly, it is almost like they did not even try to gene...

And some new safeties. A healthy productive Von Miller would be nice as well.

I've seen the kid throw and am with you. Feel bad for him. I thought he was better. A few almost hoping he'd fail because they don't like me. The staff put him at 4 for a reason. We'll see if the qb gurus are right and we're sitting on the next #1 draft pick. I missed on May at WYO so we'll see if ...

I think there are obvious differences but also realize I'm on an island on this one. Maybe I'm wrong but we have differences in opinion. I think something stinks and everyone else thinks everything is awesome. We've hashed and rehashed so I'll leave it at that Anybody think everything is awesome?.....

While sorry to see Diggs and Davis go but it was time. Davis dropped more than few catchable balls but was a very good blocker for a wideout. His price tag was going to be more than Buffalo could carry this season. Diggs played well and was constant threat but he is getting older and would need to r...

There is no doubt that offering Svoboda out of Snow College was a major gamble. It was a reach, and 98% of the time, those don’t pan out. Hopefully he is an outlier. I’m not sure any tape from HS or JUCO is really relevant to the player Svoboda is today. Our best metric for making any predictions i...

Coach Sawvel sees very different from coach Bohl. Players seem to love him. Hope the culture of hard work and discipline doesn't erode over time. That’s actually my worry too. Talking with him, he almost seems too nice and down to Earth. The days of tyrant coach have been numbered for sometime, eve...

Bohl started Peasley because Peasley had more experience and came to Wyoming when Bohl desperately needed a quarterback. Peasley played despite being injured and was leader so Bohl stayed with him.

I view NIL as opening up a very real possibility of players who are playing in a school's uniform but actually employed by a different entity or person. My prediction is things will get a lot messier for several years before anyone really figures out what needs to be done.

More like why?
