Since we couldn't get Bryce Peters...

LOL anything that happens in Cheyenne will automatically make it the highest rate in the state

Huh? Higher the population, the more something needs to happen to increase the rate.

Replace Cheyenne with, say, Ft. Lingle and you're unto something.

And a weird affinity for the CSewe Rams.

This also bothers me. I work with a girl from Cheyenne who's an Ewe, I just don't get it.

JC Carroll was better than them all

Wasn't Marcus from Laramie county too? I can't remember

Carroll was a GREAT high school player. And did really good as a D1 player and as a pro overseas. I knew a coach at UW when Carroll was in high school. It blew my mind that they didn't make him a huge priority. Maybe they couldn't have got him but imo they didn't try hard enough and prob could've. Scoring 45 a game at any level is ridiculous. Even in 1a in Wyoming that would take an amazing player. Carroll did it in the highest class the state has.


But better than all the Laramie county players? Come on. James Johnson? Hard to compare different eras esp when you never saw him play but Kenny Sailors? Marcus Bailey?

This old pg from Adams high school team? The perfect candidate to go all out on recruiting as a walk on. Make him feel as special as possible and show him he belongs here. While showing him that there just isn't a scholorship possible. The fit and this group of players and coaches could be enough. And if not? Well didn't lose anything. Him, Thompson, and Parker Stewart would be ideal. A big 6-5 steady guard/shooter could be a great platoon with Conway and trey Washington next year.


Anybody know if this kids family had the means to make getting him to walk on a possibility?

It's not about the family means necessarily, but rather other factors that would make it unlikely for Calvert to accept a walk-on role at UW, primarily playing time. In the end, he is leaving BYU because he wasn't going to be part of their rotation. Why go to another situation where you won't be part of the rotation? If a staff/program isn't willing or able to invest a scholarship in your services, it will be an uphill battle to earn playing time.

Calvert was a solid mid to high major recruit coming out of HS. He will have D1 scholarship options as a transfer. If we had a scholarship open at the PG spot, I think he would be a decent pick-up regardless of they BYU ties, but I just don't see it happening.

Since we are talking about players we missed out on, remember this name: Mike Daum. Currently a RS Fr. at South Dakota St. (very solid team) where he is averaging 12 ppg and 5.1 rpg off the bench in only 17 minutes (not a typo). 6'9" 230, skilled, and confident. Not a bouncy athlete, but not a stiff. He is going to have a monster career in the Summit League. His father played TE for the Pokes and his mother (Michele Hoppes) was one of the all-time great Cowgirl Basketball players and a member of the UW Hall of Fame.

He grew up in Kimball, NE. Pokes recruited him at one time, but ended up going another direction. I have a feeling we will regret that over the next few years.

It is about means if your argument is playing time. Show him trey Washington and Lieberman and tell him he's the starter if he beats them out. When 2 of your scholorships and hopefully not 3 of them are taken by 3rd string pg's at the D1 level then the guy should feel good about his chances.
