Wrestling Transfers

Wyoming adds Sam Mitchell from the University of Buffalo. He qualified for the NCAA championships and went 1-2 at 197 pounds accounting for Buffalo’s lone win of the tournament this past season. Seems to be a good get!

Re: Jordan Nesbitt - Do You Agree with the Signing?

I do not care about the incident with the cheerleaders one bit. Being on so many teams is a red flag much like Marcus Williams. He also declared for the NBA draft after what appears being forced out of Saint Louis. https://fox2now.com/sports/slu-guard-jordan-nesbitt-declares-for-nba-draft/ Then I g...

Re: Jordan Nesbitt - Do You Agree with the Signing?

4th team in 5 years. I’m just not seeing the upside here for a 1 year signing and needed team chemistry for this team to have any success.

But great to hear the perspective that Wicks should keep him on a short leash.

Jordan Nesbitt - Do You Agree with the Signing?

Jordan Nesbitt from Hampton via Saint Louis committed to Wyoming over the weekend. It sounds like Saint Louis previously got rid of him. There are many articles out there on this guy but I am puzzled why we would bring a person like this into the program. In my opinion, let’s take our lumps next yea...

Re: 24-25 Roster

Wyoming signs 2 senior transfers. Forward Cole Henry from Northern Iowa. Guard Jordan Nesbitt from Hampton via Saint Louis. I recognized the name Jordan Nesbitt and couldn't figure out why. Then I remembered...he made the rounds on the sports news media platforms in 2022 for calling the opposing te...

Re: 24-25 Roster

With the size we’ve added and players we’ve recently lost, Kenny Foster could be a real contributor. Wonder if Wicks has tried to change his mind.

Re: 24-25 Roster

Scottie Ebube a 6’10 forward from Southern Illinois with 2 years of eligibility commits. He only started one game and averaged 6 points but did shoot 68% from the field. He was a former Green Bay commit. Not the biggest get on paper but we need bodies for next year. Wicks appears to be adding size.

Re: Football Transfer Portal

Well, we have a punter from the portal Jack Culbreath from VMI. Let’s hope he can improve at that position. Can’t be much worse can he? FCS All-American. Considering every FCS punter we’ve seen over the last 5 years has been better than ours, I’m betting it will be a big upgrade. The Cheyenne kid o...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

I know it’s the same old ridiculous schtick you’re stuck on. But to be clear there’s a zero percent chance of that. A guy who has had basically one year of playing time in college at a G5 isn’t leaving early for the NFL under any circumstance. There’s no need to take such a risk when any QB with NF...

Re: Off-season: collective bargaining

It all depends on if the NFL catches wind of these deals or not. If the NFL investigates and determines these kind of deals were made to circumvent the salary cap, the team would face disciplinary actions. The NFL explicitly forbids alternate pay arrangements aimed at skirting the salary cap. But l...

Re: 24-25 Roster

Also - DeWeese updated his Twitter profile to remove Wyoming references and add a trees background. He now describes himself as an alum of Mary Hardin-Baylor and Virginia Commonwealth Universities. He also re-tweeted a Texas Tech post a few days ago.

Re: 24-25 Roster

The athletics site has been regularly updating the Basketball roster page. A few nuggets from it: 1) DeWeese has been removed. Probably safe to say he is gone and has departed his office. 2) Agbim has been strangely added back to the roster with no mention anywhere. Id speculate that he might be ann...

Re: 24-25 Roster

Do you even give out scholarships at this point? I can't imagine the portal or unsigned hs kids are deep with talent. I mean you have to field a team but you also know any scholarship you give out now is likely wasted. Maybe anyone with only 1 year eligibility? Tough spot. I think you look for a fe...

Re: 24-25 Roster

That and I’m also wondering if Linder didn’t line something up at Texas Tech for DeWeese. Linder’s timing can’t be overstated. He f***ed us so hard for next year. Retaining DeWeese probably would have allowed us to field a team next year but I don’t know how we get there now. I suspect we sign a co...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

He is. But any success he might have is now a double edged sword. The bummer being that if he has a good season with flashes of his elite athleticism, it’s pretty impossible to keep him here another year when millions are being flashed to QBs in the portal. So the potential payoff with these types ...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

Svoboda was set to attend UW as a preferred walk on out of high school. Then the pandemic hit and he decided to go to Snow College for a year instead. The UW coaching staff had eyes on him long before he was at Snow College. His high school stats in Arizona were not particularly impressive. I think...

Re: 24-25 Roster

We basically will have Green Bay’s staff. I was hoping DeWeese might stick around but that does not look to be the case. I was hoping he would be retained as well - maybe he and Sundance didn't jive when here together. That and I’m also wondering if Linder didn’t line something up at Texas Tech for...
