. Ok that was a dumb post on my part.
To the topic, sounds like many were pushed out.

I have money on this. I wish i had said buffs < 6 wins this next year but i bet <5. There are a few games in there to win but it'll mostly depend on how tough the arizona schools are. then in season 2, i picked buffs <8 wins i believe.
I just don't think you can waltz in yelling "prime time" and magically make a good team. Sure, they'll get some really good recruits, but so does a lot of other big name schools and they never do anything. Coaching the game matters.

Wyoming does not appear to be targeting outgoing CU players

As to some of these players, when the best offers are lower division Utah Tech and Colorado State-Pueblo, we are probably better off developing and sticking with the players we have. But I would figure at least a couple would fit in.

After the first transfer though - it locks them in a bit more to actually honoring their commitment, as they lose a year if transferring a second time, correct? If that is really the case, I would think ol 'Bohly would heavily participate in the portal, and develop and grow from there.

It’s supposed to. However, the ncaa seems to be granting waivers like candy right now. There are 4 players at CU who transferred in in January and who are already on their way out. Perhaps these players are claiming that their scholarship wasn’t renewed which is grounds for a waiver.McPeachy said:

Guys in the portal that that are not going P5 are going to have a low ceiling....the evaluations of players get way more accurate once you get a year or more out of HS. So, yes, Bohl could fill the roster with sub-average potential transfer players and since they can't transfer without losing eligibility we get to keep...the sub-average players...yaaaaaay.

LOL...well, is it better to develop an 18 year old "diamond in the rough" (as everyone here loves to reference) and see them walk out on WYO after a few years, or develop a 20 year old with some D1 experience and keep them for a few years? After all, you know, WYO is a developmental program for P5 schools.

I'm also in the camp of let's develop transfers so we can retain the upside. Finding and spending 3 years for the Pregnon's of the world is a waste of time and money for 1 year of play at Wyoming.McPeachy said:

That is the million dollar question....the future of college football for non-P5 schools depends on that answer.
Generally Wyoming recruited HS players from a group of kids that were not considered good enough to go to "big time" schools. Since it's hard to predict how good a football player will be if they are 16 or 17 while they are being evaluated, a decent amount of guys that were supposed to be good were just average or worse and a decent amount of low graded guys developed into players that would be on the two-deep at any program in the country. Now, as you point out, the players that turn out to be good are leaving the program for the transfer portal. No mystery there.
What about the players that can't find a home in the P5?...is the hit rate going to be better than it was for Wyoming recruiting HS players in the past? I'm not talking about all-Americans....just all-MWC type players. My hypothesis is that the hit rate for all-MWC level players from the portal will be far less likely than the HS guys from the past. It's a little dependent on the overall talent level of the MWC I suppose, so if that goes down year over year than I guess, relative to our conference we might do fine.
OrediggerPoke said:
It all depends on how much "upside" a transfer player that can't find a P5 home actually has....I'm not saying that it's better to lose your best guys...I just can't see a path to championships with guys that can't make the cut at the P5 level. The good Wyoming teams had that level of player all over both sides of the ball. As I see it, that level of player will not finish their college career at Wyoming. They will be at Wyoming while they develop and then leave....and the incoming transfer players will not have as high of a ceiling. Imagine the last 20 or so years of Wyoming football without our all conference guys. Not that we lit the world on fire but it would have been a train wreck.
I legitimately don't see it going well in the current state of things. I may be completely out to lunch on this and my increasing pessimism as it relates to Wyoming sports has colored my vision I suppose.

4 star recruit out of high school. I hope he can push Peasley, and if he’s better - then he should be the starter.
