Here is an article about a new commit Darin McDonald we got:

http://phillies.scout.com/a.z?s=309&p=2&c=694283

I know we are all looking for something positive after this last season. He had the attention of many big schools coming out of high school, and he chose UW.
 
Here is a Laramie Boomerang article about more verbals and a list of the commits we have so far:

I'm not sure what the ratings are for these young men, but it looks like we are doing pretty good in Colorado.
 
I'm almost certain that they are all 2-star prospects..we're still waiting on Adam Barry (nationally ranked 3-star QB) And still have a shot at 3-5 3-star prospects.. it's looking pretty good for a crappy season.
 
We just became to offer this multi-threat athlete outta Kansas City..
he's got 4.35 speed and we're going to play him at corner if he commits..also I see him returning kicks from day 1!!

Check out his free highlight reel, its pretty sick!

Wow

This is the kind of kid we need playing slot if we land him, he would thrive in the spread offense.

What schools are after him?
 
Well I'm sure we'd think about it, but when he went to scout.com's combine after his junior yr he was name defensive mvp..and we need a guy with his athleticism playing at corner right away (even if a nickel) I see this guy doing kick returns and maybe some 'gadget' plays that I hear Cole is going to install..
We're the only school to offer him..but the others on his schools of interest are:
CSU
Kansas
Kansas St

I'm more than excited for Summer drills to roll around! I can't wait to see it all plays out.
 
I've talked to this kid (his name is James Caraway) three times. He really likes Wyoming. In fact, during his senior season, he was disappointed because Bryan Applewhite (our RB coach) hadn't stayed in touch with him much since this summer. What he didn't know was that Applewhite had been calling his high school coach. One of our coaches went down there and offered him recently.

Last time I talked to him, he said that even if Wyoming offered, he was going to wait a bit before he made his final decision. I don't think he ought to wait too long because as far as I know, UW's the only school that has offered him. It would be a shame if somebody else committed and there wasn't an offer left on the table for him up here.

He's a bit underrated, IMO, and that's a good thing for us. We are definitely recruiting him as a cornerback, although he had a much better year at RB this season than at CB. He has been clocked at 4.3 one time, and he also has a 40-inch verticle. The problem is that he never played CB in his life until his senior year, so the transition kept him from getting any interceptions. He said he was close on quite a few but never came up with any.

His high school team sucked this year, and they ended up like 3-7 or something. That puts him even further under the radar, but I was glad to see we offered. I think he has the potential to become a Julius Stinson-type corner with even more speed. Don't know yet if he has the nose for the ball that Julius has, but I hope he commits.
 
Yeah, I'd say he's going to slip under the radar if he's new to the position and had a bad high school team. It'll be interesting to see what happens with him, because with that speed they're going to find room on the roster for him somewhere. Could be a gem if that speed can translate to some pass defending.
