Fifth Year Senior Transfer looking at Wyoming....

Got this info from other board but not going to copy and paste the article but here is some tidbits of info about him.

Matt Williams from Central Florida is looking at Wyoming as possibility. He was recruited by Jeremy Shyatt and Allen Edwards when he was still in high school before both coaches came to Wyoming.

He averaged 8.1 points and 2.6 rebounds last year. He has had some injuries his freshman and junior years so he was able to get a fifth year. He is a 6-5 220 pound swingman so can play guard or small forward. (Similar build to Hankerson somewhat)

His top choices right now that he is looking at are in no order (Wyoming, Wake Forest and Utep) and Miami is possibly looking at him.

I think this would be a good pick up. He would bring another upperclassmen to our younger group and he averaged about 31 minutes a game last year and made a team high 55 three pointers so would add another big guard that can shoot the ball at a decent clip. Imagine he would improve more over the summer as well and if he stays healthy could have a decent fifth year and be a good contributor to the team.

In looking at his bio it looks like he had some injuries but is a pretty solid pickup if we could get him. I hope this works out. He has enough skill for the 2 or 3 and enough size to play the 4 if we go small ball like we do with Jmac. In fact Jmac and this kid on the floor at the same time would be pretty fun to watch from a shooting perspective.

I saw last week(I think) that Jeremy was down in FL recruiting. Must have been down to see him. I like this pick up. A senior would help balance out the classes and he looks like a versatile player that could do a number of things for us.

Morris Marshall 2.0

I kid, I kid. Hopefully he can have an affect like Jerron Granberry, helping the young guys develop and mature and being able to fill multiple roles. Ironically, wasn't Jerron a transfer from UCF as well?
