Bohl knows exactly the type of player he wants.

"We're recruiting what we call 'the Wyoming profile,'" he said. "And those are hard-nosed guys who want two things. They want to get a degree -- a meaningful degree -- and they want to win a championship.

"A guy who's interested in social life, who's interested in a bunch of other stuff, we're not recruiting that guy. We don't want that guy. That's how we did it at NDSU, and to a great degree, that's how we did it at Nebraska."

I'm betting on Bohl making it work in Laramie.

Bohl understands that the nation's highest-profile players are seldom interested in attending Wyoming. He freely acknowledges it. Which is why he emphasizes player development.

"I think it is more of an art than a science," he said. "That's going to be our modus operandi. Wyoming is going to be a developmental program.

"We'll look under every rock. We'll go into all the small towns. We will develop players within that (Nebraska) footprint."

Nebraska only has slightly more Div 1 prospects than Wyoming, so it's no wonder we haven't really recruited Nebraska much.

I think you missed the point there, Angus...

And it got edited after I posted, so sue me.

BTW, kind of creepy how you knew what my avatar is on a couple other sites.

(Yes, I have used both).

So you're admitting you didn't actually read the article then?
