Re: Linder leaving
Holy crap. Not a good look to have a head coach take a demotion. The bball program is in shambles I'm shocked. Linder must have seen a complete disaster coming this season and the only way out was to salvage whatever is left of his coaching reputation by getting out now. Who is going to want this j...

Re: Any new transfers?
I can only go by Ryan Thorburn's interview with the NIL One Wyoming director. I believe he said that every basketball team ahead of us in the standings this year had about 800k in NIL. I think he said San Diego st. and UNLV were higher. He said we were at about 300k. Don't quote me on that. That's ...

Re: Any new transfers?
Linder inherited a real dumpster fire. With the exception of Shyatt's first few seasons, this program has been a complete mess for nearly 20 years. We don't have any NIL to draw transfers here. So, we aren't likely to get another Justin Williams walking through the door. I'm sympathetic to the Lind...

Re: BB transfer portal is open
There are just too many unknowns. First, look where this player ended up. It appears no one else thought very highly of his upside. I'd like to hear from the player himself why he left. Maybe he didn't like the town or the school or the weather. But he's basically throwing away his basketball caree...

Re: BB transfer portal is open
Attendance is why we can't keep our guys right? Avg attendance at Radford was 1,300 this season. That is less than 1/3 of Wyoming's attendance and would be worst in the Mountain West by a good margin. Their gym seats 3000. This makes no sense. Linder said a few weeks ago he liked Sirtautsas (sp) ga...

Re: What could have been
Saw where a kid (grew up in Iowa) went to Alabama, was offered $100k to transfer to Iowa, took the money and transferred back to Bama. This whole thing is out of control Beating a dead horse here, but these NIL collectives and the people donating to them are enabling this insanity. I'd love to see ...

Re: BB transfer portal is open
The problem with NIL as it currently exists is that it has created a professional sporting league where athletes are paid by unaffiliated third parties rather than the schools (ie the employers) themselves. This gives all of the negotiating power to the athletes and none to the schools/coaching sta...

https://twitter.com/VerbalCommits/status/1771176947126583409 Well, there goes the most talented player on the team I guess. I hate the portal. I hate NIL (in it's current form). I am starting to hate college athletics and athletes. :cry: Because of NIL and the portal, some of them are professional ...

Re: MW is flaming out……
Nevada blew a 9 point half time lead. The sheep were up 8-2 and then got outscored 25-3. The sheep got a 3 pointer by headband Joe and that was their only score in the last 15 minutes. Sorry, but I'm laughing right now.

Re: 24-25 Roster
It’d be hard to argue against something else going on. Either Linder isn’t afraid to tell players to get the hell out or no one wants to play for him in today’s environment. Some of it is winning too. No incentive to hang around and play on poop team and an asshole coach when you can play for a. po...

Re: 24-25 Roster
This sounds like complete horse crap. The best athlete on the team? And he couldn't see the court over Kojenets - a guy who looks like he has trouble getting food to his mouth. If that's true, then Linder should be fired right now for gross incompetence. Read the article. Or even the post you are r...

Interesting snippet from Cody Tucker's article on Theodosiou transferring: https://7220sports.com/wyoming-basketball-loses-freshman-guard-to-ncaa-transfer-portal/ I assumed that he didn't see the court last season because he was too green and needed a year to redshirt. I remember him from watching ...

Re: Sheep still suck
The players and coaches are fine. It's their pompous insufferable fans that I can't stand. I hate it when they're happy. As long we keep kicking their butts in football, I'll be satisfied.

Re: NIL
I'm guessing most of you are aware of One Wyo. https://1wyo.org/ The director was interviewed on Ryan Thorburg's Pokescast just a few days ago. Athletes must donate time to charity to receive the NIL funds. Seems reasonable to me. If we want to be competitive, then NIL is going to be a big part of o...
