I like where Shyatt is taking this program

[tweaked]

I've been reading some earlier threads about Shyatt's recruiting and how it may not quite measure up to Schroyers. Look, was Washington a dominating force? Yes. But both he and Gilmore were cancer on that team last year. Ask the players. I have complete faith in Shyatt--anyone that knows anything about bball ought to recognize that Shyatt is a hell of a coach. If you want to learn how to coach defensive basketball, you consult Shyatt. But here's the other thing about Shyatt. He is a leader of young men. He is the kind of coach that if you were the parent of a talented high school senior you would hope your son would want to play for. You would know that your son not only had the best chance of developing as a basketball player but as a person. On the recruiting front, this is eventually going to pay off. It has been somewhat of a slow start--but this is going to pay off. It is a process. Our current juniors were Shyatt's first recruiting class, and a class which had a very short window due to Shyatt just being hired. And these guys were thrown into the fire--they have had to contribute immediately. Not so with last year's class. I like where uw bball is headed: recruiting smart players, with ability, but who also have character and who will work hard and who will be coached up. If I were AD, I'd ink Shyatt as many years as he'd be willing to be inked up. There are some good years ahead for Wyo BBall.

Scroll down and look at the Shyatt interview, and listen closely how he talks about his players. Quite a contrast with how many coaches in American talk about their players after a tough loss. I'd tie up my sneaks to play for this guy any time:

I am completely with you tweaked. I am on the Shyatt bandwagon too. He's a better coach than we have had in a long time. Word will get around to the prospective recruits about him - even with our weak assed recruiting budget.

Anyone else notice that when asked about hankerson and granberry's performance so far he hesitated and then the video cut to the next question.....
