Chris Boucher

[CowboyNV]

Boucher is from Quebec, so geographically Minnesota makes more sense than Wyoming.

Neither Texas Tech or Minnesota are in Canada either. Minnesota might be a little closer than Wyoming - depending on what part of Canada he is from. I doubt either place has better facilities or coaches than Wyoming. We were in the NCAA tourney this last time.
I doubt anyone knows anything about his decision, but if I were the Wyoming coaches, I wouldn't wait very long for his decision.

That wasn't the point Lacock was making. The biggest reason Wyoming is even in the picture is because it's supposedly the in-state school. But since he's not even from Wyoming, that's not as big of a draw as other major college programs can offer him.

I understand what you are saying, but what can these other programs offer him that Wyoming doesn't?

Exactly. We have just as nice, if not nicer facilities, we have a group of guys that believe they can win, and were coming off our best season in the last decade. There are a lot of reasons to choose Wyoming.

Better conference opponents.
Maybe Boucher really doesn't enjoy the 307. Maybe what tbey offer is that it's simply not Wyoming.

A chance to play in the Big 10 or Big 12.

I would understand that. I haven't heard or read anything about him leaning towards a specific conference but thats a choice that is out of our control. IF he wants a high level conference, we aren't for him. If playing on a low tier Big 10/Big 12 school is better than an upper tier MWC team, than more power to him.

For bottom of the league teams. Wyoming has more upside for him, chance at NCAA tourney play. Tech and Minnesota probably will not be competing for an NCAA berth the next couple of years.

 

[Adv8RU12]

What are his chances of being a starter at the other schools? Probably much less than at Wyoming.
What are his chances of being BMOC at other schools? Probably much less than at Wyoming.

 

[BeaverPoke]

Big12 just got eaten alive in the Big Dance. They may be lucky to get 4 in their next season after the shit show they had in March.

Big10 is a great conference but at Minnesota he isn't going to take the conference by storm.

Ah, but check it!

Wyoming is the reigning MWC Tourney Champs, coming off a Big Dance.

Wanna play some top talent?

Ivan Rabb just committed to Cal. Ivan Rabb is almost a guaranteed 1-and-done big guy. Cal is coming to Laramie!

Wyo is also playing in a tourney in OOC play.

GET TO LARAMIE CHRIS! Beat up on the talented Cal, UNLV, and SDSU players.

He may not be big man on campus, but Minnesota has a major need at PF and C. And Minnesota plays uptempo and a trapping defense, which seems to fit his game more than the systems at Wyoming and Texas Tech.

Maybe, but maybe not.

A 9-9 Big 10 team made it to the tournament this year. In the Mountain West, 13-5 isn't good enough to make the dance. Minnesota was only 3 games back of that 9-9 Indiana team, so it's not that far off.

And UNLV just landed ESPN #10, Steve Zimmerman. Can go against him also for at least a year.

That is a HUGE get, even for them. I saw that and was quite shocked.

Isn't the Zimmerman kid the same guy our very own Jonathan Barnes shut down in an AAU game? The name rings a bell.

Be nice for Chris to come to Laramie and help Wyoming win regular season title and tourney titles

Found this:

Jonathan Barnes (ponderosa) got some good pub from game against Stephen Zimmerman (Dream Vision)
Hawks lost 65 - 51 but Barnes had 12 points 10 rebounds 3 blocks against Zimmerman
Zimmerman only had 6 points 12 rebounds.
Said Jonathan was able to establish good position on either side of the block.
Several coaches in attendence so Jonathan will be taking off in the offer arena.
6'10 and athletic, quick learner.
He has progressed very far from just 3 years ago

Is it pronounced like it's spelled or pronounced Boo-'shay?

 

[joshvanklomp]

Is it pronounced like it's spelled or pronounced Boo-'shay?

Since he's from Canada, I'm guessing it's the French pronunciation.

 

[seattlecowboy]

Is it pronounced like it's spelled or pronounced Boo-'shay?

It is pronounced just like Bobby Boucher in the water boy with Adam Sandler. (Boo-Shay)
