Wow, look at his stats - and he's already in Wyoming??

Shaka Smart from Texas flew in on a private jet last week to see him - not sure we will get him. Even SDSU is on him as well as Utah State. Damn, how did we fall asleep at the wheel on this one? I know his grades where an issue and the reason he couldn't play at Montana State.

Unfortunately it may be too late to get him if Shaka Smart paid a personal visit. Stranger things have happened, but yeah, this would be a huge get.
 
Bobby Hurley came in to see this kid as well.

Wyoming will not be getting this kid.

Wyoming needs a big guy but it is guaranteed that it will not be this kid unfortunately.

Shyatt and his staff are hopefully finding some good JUCO or Senior transfer prospects for the inside game. NO need to bring in another guard at this point in time.

There will be three guys that can handle the ball next year already with James, Lieberman and Conway. They will also have JMac and Gorski to help out in press situations as they have this year. So big guy or bust.
 
It is quite frustrating there are these elite athletes in our own back yard and they don't even get an offer. Look I love Dalton. I love Marshall. But you're telling me Williams and Boucher don't even get interest? We'll fly all over the country looking at "projects" but can't drive up I-25 to recruit two elite, program changing athletes. It boggles my mind.
 
It seems to me Shyatt goes after kids that are off the radar. Kavell originally committed to Montana State, but could not qualify. Now he will have a lot of options if he gets his academics in order. I wish Shyatt would forge some relationships with the Wyoming JUCO coaches. UW could really use some immediate help inside. Shyatt could have had him and Boucher if he would have been on them earlier.

The failure of Shyatt to recruit Wyoming JUCO's and establish some ties to AAU programs won't allow the program to get to the next level.

Love Shyatt as a game coach and is a tremendous representative of the university and state, but these short comings cannot compete every year in the MWC for titles. Although a much better coach, I would compare Shyatt to Joe Glenn. Joe just couldn't get the better athletes to Laramie, but everyone loved him.
 
Eh, these Wyoming JUCO kids were off the radar to begin with and for most of their recruitment we didn't even have any available scholarships.
 
Don't get me wrong, there has been some Juco talent in the state recently, but isn't there a lot of issues getting these kids into school just because the university is hard to deal with? I mean look at the one Juco kid we recruited in football this year. He was here in January but couldn't get enrolled in school. Something the university needs to work on.

I agree, but I am confused because they were saying about a year ago that they were loosening the requirements for JUCO transfers.

Williams has ties to Chris Haslam, so one would think that we would have an "in" on the kid. But I am not sure Shy has even made contact with him.

Maybe if he was a wyo native. But this guy comes from England, and then has to live in Gillette?!? I wouldn't blame him for wanting to get as far away from that shithole of a town as fast as possible. Check the CJC donor statistics, Gillette doesn't cheer for UW, either. So I doubt he's been following us much either...
 
We could always make them our first exhibition game of 2016-17 schedule and watch this kid kill us on the inside

So true...Gillette is the soiled asshole of Wyoming. Gillette makes Rock Springs (no offense) look like Hawaii. And unfortunately (for Wyoming as a state) since Coal / Oil / Gas has tanked, those toothless trashy bastards are having a tough time of late. Last one out, turn off the lights.
 
McPeachy, that one is a stinger. Not sure if Kavell reads the boards, but we would absolutely love to have him. If his goal is the NBA, our coaches helped Nance Jr., become a better player. He sucks it up for two years in Laramie and he's off to the NBA. If he goes to Texas or some other program based on false promises, he'll end up being the 2nd string sub for two years and not learning what Shyatt can teach him about D, which is what will get him on the draft radar. Lets hope he reads these boards and sees how excited we are to have him.

Can Christmas come in late March ????? or will Misfit island be passed over again?
