Other than returning a year of experience within the roster, he probably doesn’t feel he will see the playing time he desires.
This is a case where he lands somewhere but it won’t be for a difference maker NIL deal.
Very replaceable without concern of a drop off.

I liked his game. Was hoping to keep in the fold.

I’ll throw a couple of names out as examples to replace Harakow:
Andrija Bukumirovic 6’7” 200 from Serbia played at UT-Martin.
14 ppg 8 rpg 36% from 3. Poor FT at 58%
UT-Martin was the 4th place Ohio Valley team
Adam Olsen 6’8” 225 from BC played at South Alabama
17 ppg 4 rpg 39% from 3. 84% FT
South Alabama #2 in Sun Belt
Not saying these guys are superior to Harakow, but they wouldn’t be a drop off in place of him. I doubt Wyoming would be able to get a player like Brant Byers from Miami-OH (suggested by the AI generator Bryoming used) since he had a lot of exposure when his team went on a 31 game win streak and beat SMU in the NCAA’s. Byers would be like getting a Josh Davis.
BTW - as of 4-1, I counted 72 players listed as SF in the portal including Harakow. A lot of decent prospects and some potential hidden talent like the two I mentioned.

Rojas just tweeted that he is staying put in Laramie.
I hope they do something like this for all of the guys coming back. I enjoyed it. It was nice to see. Basically use it like someone committing to the program. That is what it is going to be every year. New commits and current roster commits. Treat them similar in the social media announcements. This would give the fans something positive to talk about.

This is big and Wicks isn't done yet. Gores will be in one of these videos.

I'm guessing we'll see 3 more of these before the portal opens on Tuesday. I'm hoping that Bennett, Harris, and Gores are the subjects.
If you look in the background on both videos they're teasing this schedule. When Rojas walks in the room on his video there's and lineup with on the board with ?? under 1-5 and the freshmen's names at the bottom. In the Naz video Rojas is listed under 1.

Hopefully Trump signs that executive order to where players can only transfer one time from now on. Just saw something about it come across my phone. That will stop a lot of this stuff to a point at least and give smaller schools a better shot again of keeping some guys longer.
Would help me get back to investing more in the team than what this whole charade is now.

While I agree with the intent of the order, it's going to be an uphill climb. The precedent setting case is States/US vs. NCAA, which was only settled in January 2024. However, it was a national injunction ordered by a district court. Trump v. CASA in 2025 was heard by the Supreme Court. The ruling was that district and appeals courts cannot set national injunctions.
The order has been signed. You can see it here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...rgent-national-action-to-save-college-sports/
I can all but guarantee this is going to court almost immediately, though the timing is interesting considering the portal opens Tuesday. This may mean that players like Dennis and Harakow rethink their decisions.
**EDIT** It looks like the transfer portion of the order won't take effect until August 1, so likely no impact on the basketball portal.
