Laramie’s Neil Summers will be a Cowboy

Congrats to him. Hopefully this generates a little bit of local excitement

Is...that...good? LMAO. The last one to come out of Laramie, I think, was Rod Tyson. Who I thought was a solid "get" back then, but cannot remember him doing much.

I think he’ll be an average D-1 player with time and development

You really never know until they get into the program and onto the court. Marcus Bailey is a classic example of a player nobody though much of that turned out to be one of the most dominant basketball players in UW history.

The one thing that’s really hard to judge is a kid’s mentality. It dictates so much of their success or failure at the college level, but is almost impossible to get a good read on. What made Bailey great was his mental toughness - he believed in himself when nobody else did and had no fear or care for what anyone else thought of him. Even after basketball, that same mental toughness led him to an MD agree. Some guys are just gamers.
