Dez's attitude sucks

I wish Thiam would have laid him out while they were jawing at each other. Dez was bitching and moaning because he had just turned the ball over a couple of times in the matter of seconds and then didn't get back to play D. I think we might be better off if he left unless a new coach can change his attitude.

I was also hoping Thaim was gonna beat his ass. The kid has tons of talent but he never mans up. I know the refs screw the pokes but come on kid get your head in the game

Desmar's attitude has been a problem for a while now...even before he came to UW. Desmar was one of the most highly touted basketball recruits in the entire country his junior year of HS basketball. There was even a major debate in the state of Ohio whether Jared Sullinger or Desmar was the better player. Most scouting services considered Desmar a top 50 national recruit...then, his senior year happened. His team didn't always perform up to their expectations and Desmar's displeasure was evident. All the big time programs saw that and high-tailed the other way.

I agree with you guys that Desmar has the wrong attitude for success here at UW. However, I do think it was a good recruiting decision by Schroyer (or whoever pushed to offer the guy). It's going to be tough for UW to go head to head with big time programs and land the recruit. Thus, Wyoming has to take some chances on guys like Desmar that have great skill, but have "other things" keeping other programs from offering. It doesn't seem to be working out very well with Desmar, but I think it's a chance UW has to continue to take.

Maybe a new coach can "fix" the Jackson problem. But maybe Dezi has plans to move on and has contacted other coaches who said they wolud take him if things "aren't working out" at Wyo. That could explain his half-ass effort /attitude lately.
