2016 recruiting thread....

It's a little early to put a 2016 thread up, but we already wrapped up 2015. :D We only lose Adams so you would think we're just looking for a guard. That looks like what we're going after so far.

Justin Bassey, 6'4" shooting guard.

Some youtube. He looks like he has a good mid range jump shot.

Jordan Naughton's teammate is Bryce Peters. He's already giving our coaches love on twitter.

Wyoming is on Niko Green, another 6'4" guard. He's another Florida boy.

Don't get the impression we're recruiting this kid. I don't know if we are or if we aren't. He is the class of 2016 point guard on Oldsmar Christian, the same team that Andrew Moemeka and Justin James came from. I wouldn't be surprised if his name pops up down the road, although he's got a lot of very big offers already.

Eric Hester,

Damn Cowboy Junky! How do you find these guys?
Adams is halfway through his college career and you have found a potential replacement!

If we get another Florida kid, when do become the un-official UF-Laramie?

I feel that before too long Shyatt starts competing with Billy D for Gator recruits.
We probably need some more top results before then though.

Wyoming is extremely fortunate to have the coaching staff we have. I'm very confident in their ability to assess talent, attitude, and how they would "fit" at UW. That is just the first step though, this coaching staff has so much experience at a very high level (I forgot how many national championships) that they are able to coach these players to be top team players in one of the top basketball conferences in the U.S.. We have the depth, we have great facilities, and our team is now ready to lay the foundation for a long run of success. UW is now a brutal part of every other team's schedule that has us on their schedule. I hope the fans realize what we have and pack the AA several times this season.
 
All Brown & Gold Koolaid reserved for Pokes Basketball, I'm very confident this will be a season to remember.

Agreed. This is the season we see everything come together for Coach Shyatt. He's got a very experienced senior class, and an extremely talented freshman class, with another loaded class coming in next year. This will be the season that puts Cowboy Basketball back on the map!

Four titles (Shyatt-2, Edwards-2) in their pockets. And I'm sure that topic comes up on the recruiting trail. ;)

Wyoming has offers extended to Walton (#2), Bassey (#4) and Thomas (#6):

[tweet]https://twitter.com/William_Whelan/status/521015022244229120[/tweet]

Dallas Walton F Arvada, COArvada West:
"After missing much of this last club season with a knee injury, Walton still remains a long, athletic and high-major long term prospect."

Ladarius Thomas G Aurora, COAurora Central:
"One of the most complete players in the class, Thomas can play both guard spots in college. Most years, he'd be the top player in CO."

I knew we are recruiting Dallas Walton but you would think we're going after a guard with Adams graduating. It's good to see a bunch of Wyoming recruits in the top of the Colorado rankings. The class of 2016 is supposed to be stacked with talent in Colorado.
 
5 guys from Gillette and Sheridan Colleges are going to 5 different schools.
