The Thermopolis kid you may be thinking of is Jake Schmidt. Recruited by Majerus at Utah and played one season. Majerus stepped down and the new coaching staff did not renew his scholarship. Not sure what happened to him after leaving Utah. Wyoming really missed on Collins and Smith in the mid-70's....

Read that Hunter Thompson's dream school is Kansas. When you go to a Kansas, they expect you to play at a top level and don't emphasize development. If Hunter is serious about a potential NBA career, he needs a coaching staff that will help him realize his true potential. Four years with the current...

Has Barnes or the coaching staff commented on why he doesn't want to redshirt? A year of just working on his game would hopefully do wonders.

I'm sure the coaches have tried but curious why he doesn't think he needs a redshirt year.

We are fortunate to have Larry Shyatt at the University of Wyoming. With that being said, I seem to remember him saying something a short time after he returned about how he was looking forward to recruiting players with "potential" and not constantly recruiting the prima donnas like Flori...

Houston is a solid program. Will never get into the Big XII as the Texas schools don't want to add/compete with another Texas school for the higher level recruits. Houston deserves to be in the Big XII but is never going to happen with the University of Texas calling the shots in that conference.

San Jose State was added for recruiting in N. California and not sure what the reason was for inviting Hawaii. I think the MWC, similar to Conference USA, AAC, etc., is basically fighting for survival. All the money goes to the 64-65 teams that make up the P5 and very little finds its way down to th...

Since we are speculating and it is a slow Saturday morning, how about the following: Pac-12 kicks out Washington State and Oregon State and Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor and TCU join the Pac-12. Mountain West picks up WSU and OSU along with the left over table scraps from the n...

Mendenhall leaving speaks volumes that BYU has figured out they will never be part of a P5 conference. I'm sure the feeling was Mendenhall would be a lifer similar to Lavell Edwards and never entertain another offer. Watch the slide to mediocrity begin. Give it 3 or 4 years and BYU will be begging f...

Newer to the site and sure this has been covered but curious why Barnes didn't redshirt last year?

Good article. Mention Dombek played college football but doesn't mention it was at Wyoming.

Kenneth Ollie was from Alabama.

Was it Pat Flanagan from Sheridan or was he right after Craig Shanor?
