Josh Adams gets the game winner flying in for a tip-in as

time expires. He's athletic and has mad hops for his size. I think he's going to be a keeper.

Congrats Josh and welcome aboard.
 
I watched the second half of that very close and exciting game. Welcome to the University of Wyoming Cowboys Josh. You'll have one of the best coaching staffs in the U.S. It is going to be fun.

P.S. Did I see Coach Shyatt congratulate Josh after the game?

game winning tip
 
Saw it on 9 news after the game. Only thing is, 9 news never said (or even showed him saying) that he was coming to Wyoming to play b-ball.
 
Those are some great photos. I was really impressed with Josh Adams explosiveness and hops. Larry is trying to recruit a team that can play Billy Ball at 7220. It looks like they found a guy that excels when the engine is running at max rpm.

How difficult is it to get a game winning tip-in as a 6'0" gaurd? You have to have a little bit of luck and the ability to rebound just to be in position to make that tip. If you're six feet and your crashing in from the outside you have to have an open lane and then figure out how to make the play without going over someones back. You have to jump higher than the taller post guys that are already down there in rebounding position. Josh looked like he was at least a foot above the rim. I kept looking at him, trying to detect a light-skinned brother color: none exists, proving that white men can jump. You have to tip the ball at exactly the right angle with the exact amount of spin. The faster you're crashing the hoop, the harder that is. All of it has to happen in a very small window of time. He did it with his left hand.

You have to have mental toughness to stay aggressive with four fouls. You have to have a heart to make a play like that.

I'm impressed with Adams. He looks like a great fit for Laramie.
 
Watch the hops -- and the passing --- and the spin moves with the ball. This kid is the real deal, mark my words!
