Re: 24-25 Roster

I would disagree with this. Powell's minutes were going down as the season wore on. In his last 7 games, he played about 15 minutes a game. I actually expected him to leave. I even wonder if the coaches told him his playing time here was done. Since I don't live in Laramie or sit behind the bench, ...

Re: 24-25 Roster

Please point to multiple years of "roster meltdowns". Last season was one, and it was bad. Other than last year roster turnover has been nothing out of the ordinary. Actually, let me help you out. 2021 Drew LaMont Kwame Marble II Marcus Williams 2022 Ben Bowen Deng Dut John Grigsby Eoin N...

Re: BB transfer portal is open

Agreed. Ike had no intention of playing and had both feet out before the season….. I understand he probably could have come back. But I’m fairly certain he did get injured. He’s playing a full healthy season so if he’s leaving, it makes sense no to rush it. From an eligibility standpoint, not playi...

Re: 24-25 Roster

The entire starting 5 is leaving. The lion’s share of minutes this year is gone. This isn’t about the decisions of 18-23 year olds at all. This is about the ‘leadership’ who has caused these problems. But if you believe we should blame the infantry and not the officers, well sorry I can’t agree wit...

Re: 24-25 Roster

As of now, there appears to be 2 players returning next year who played this year. I suspect 1 of them leaves in the next few weeks. Do you not consider that turning over the roster or do you consider that the hallmark of a successful program? There are 13 scholarship players. These were 3 of them....

Re: 24-25 Roster

If we turn over the roster every year can that be used as an excuse for poor results? Asking for an acquaintance. You're worried about a freshman that didn't play, a sophomore that didn't play well, and a guy that graduated? I hate to see anyone go, but losing these three isn't anywhere near "...

Re: 24-25 Roster

Jeebus guys. We were in the tournament 2 years ago! Last year was an unmitigated disaster, mostly due to the worst rash on injuries that has ever happened in college basketball. This year, for all intents and purposes, wasn't bad, considering that we turned over the entire roster. R-E-L-A-X If we t...

Re: BB transfer portal is open

This is unfortunately going to be the case yearly with Linder. Players are likely to move on once they’ve grown tired with him. None of these transfers will be commanding huge NIL.

Re: Fire Linder

I’ve been pretty clear in my belief that the future of the program appears pretty hopeless under the current coach.

That said - we aren’t going to fire Linder because Burman gave him an extension until 2027 2 years ago and the buyout is cost prohibitive at this point.

Re: 24-25 Roster

Apparently Foster has another year now!?!? Must be an additional medical redshirt. The recent portal entry could be a numbers game if Foster and Wenzel were to return. If he returns he could go straight from college basketball to Social Security. I hope he does return. A player to root for in what ...

Caden Powell - gone


Seems that 2 seasons is the limit for most players under Linder.

Re: Cowgirls in WNIT

I found the answer. The WNIT is the new CBI.

Women’s basketball now has the WBIT which is the new 2nd best tournament.
