I know this is a long shot but what is Brandon Ewing doing? He might fit really well with the coaching staff as the third assistant and he has a bunch of ties to the Midwest especially Chicago. Just a thought.
I do believe he sells cars at Laramie GM
Us Wyoming fans are hilarious. Brandon Ewing as coach? Really, is this a serious statement? I love the kid, and loved watching him play, but that is a horrible, horrible idea. He has no experience...none. Maybe as a G.A. - but not as a coach, that would be a travesty (for him and UW). And especially with the thought of him maybe having ties to Chicago - that is ridiculous. He may have ties to one or two high schools at most, but that doesn't guarantee anything anyway.
And no, he doesn't sell cars at Laramie GM, and never did. He worked as a marketing person there, but hasn't done that quite some time.
This has to be one of the dumbest most uninformed posts I have even seen.
1) you obviously are from Wyoming and think associations are based on that fact. meaning there is one or two high schools in each city.
The Chicago Public League has 50 schools and if you have connections it is sure more than 1 or 2 schools.
Secondly Ewing has connection through the Chicagoland area going into Sothern Illinois as well. He is also connected into Indiana and Wisconsin.
This also doesn't take into account other D1 coaches who can't place a kid but think they have the character and talent to find a school. The call peers
So for that point I can see you have no idea what you are talking about.
2) Ewing has worked to do great things to repair the relationship with the area and the basketball team. I suppose you have no idea he set up and executed a fundraiser for a former Cowboy football player that was suffering from cancer without the support of the university and it was a success.
He also has a non profit to help recruit incoming WYO students.
You are pitiful and I have always wondered why he felt such a connection to Laramie when there are people like you.
3) Not only can Ewing assist with recruiting because no matter how many names you throw out this is a kid who wants to be there and the names you throw out have to be convinced
4) He has worked with the WYO program for free because he is committed and the players connected with him.
5) The University of Wyoming would be stupid to think they could get a more qualified assistant to add to the head coaches program especially for the money they pay.
6) Ewing wants to get into coaching and will. Either WYO can benefit or they won't.
7) Not to mention that Ewing represented WYO positively and has very good alumni support...
And to think some of you cats talk about Stewart you must not know he couldn't wait to leave.. And Shroyer was a bust but you mention him coming back?
I hope if Ewing is interested he sees this and stops thinking WYO has anything to offer in terms of loyalty or experience.
