What motivates Parker Stewart, and maybe, what doesn't.....

If you look at Parker Stewart's offer list and his final 7, you can get some ideas on what doesn't motivate Parker.

His offer list is LSU, Florida, Georgetown, Kansas State, Memphis, Missouri, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, among others.

He paired that down to the top seven,

Ole Miss, Kansas State, Butler, Georgetown, LSU, Nebraska, and Wyoming.

The teams that didn't make the cut are Florida, Memphis, Missouri, Wisconsin, or Utah. That's a lot of pretty big, well established basketball programs that he didn't want any part of. Maybe Parker is looking for minutes. He may want to go somewhere he can help build a program, instead of one that's already very well established.

So far, I know of four visits Parker has scheduled. You only get five official visits.

- Kansas State: Aug. 26th
- Ole Miss: Sept. 10th
- Nebraska: Sept. 17th
- Wyoming: Oct 1

Two teams out of this three team group didn't get an official visit: Georgetown, LSU, and Butler.

If you look at his list of official visits, it looks like he's more interested in up and coming schools instead of well established programs.

Yes, Hunter Thompson is a Wyoming boy, and it will be fun to cheer for him.

Parker Stewart is our other Wyoming boy. He wasn't born here, but he was our ball boy for a pretty significant chunk of time. He fell in love with basketball in the Arena Auditorium, just like a lot of us. If he's going to help build any program, it should be ours. We have a history with Parker. He can come back to the gym where he was a ball boy, and be a part of the Wyoming basketball program that returns Wyoming to regular participant in the NCAA tournament again.

You can call it dreaming if you want. I'm 100 percent positive I'll be called a sunshine pumper if he goes somewhere else.

I like our chances with Parker Stewart.
 
Come on, Parker! Be a Cowboy! A loaded roster awaits you here in Laramie - be the final piece.

Imagine it: playing in front of loving fans in a packed arena, bringing in MWC championships, tourney runs and etching your name in the books along side Larry Nance Jr. Josh Adams, Marc Baily, Theo Ratliff and so many more.
 
Brown Goggles, Gold Goggles, who gives a shit! I am right there with you. I will man the cool aid stand. I will pump the sunshine.

C'mon Parker! Be a part of something special!

It seems like he's looking for a program that has post-season potential, where he can get p.t. right away, and help take a program to that next level.

If that's the case, there isn't a better fit on his list of finalists than Wyoming.

Wyoming is sitting on a roster that is going to dominate the league in a few short years, and we'll be a legit MWC championship contender from the moment he steps on the court. He would start his career on a team with 6 seniors, likely stepping straight into the starting line-up.

I'm pretty sure he's motivated by p.t., post-season potential, and up and coming programs.

We're all that, a great big pile of new facilities, and Parker's home away from home.
 
So if I'm reading everything right, Parker had a visit to Ole Miss this weekend and visits Nebraska next weekend


Is there any chance he commits before he ever makes it to Laramie?

It's certainly possible, but on the plus side, if he makes it to Laramie without having committed yet, we are the last visit he'll take (unless he schedules a 5th between now and then). Gotta love being the last program to show him their best, makes it the freshest in his mind. I'ts definitely a catch-22, he might commit before we even get a crack at him, but if not, it's ups our chances considerably.
 
I'll be honest, Nebraska is the school that worries me most. They are one of those programs that if they can get you to campus, there's a good chance of a commitment. Their basketball facilities are very impressive.

I just saw that. It wasn't Shell though. It's Trevin Knell that the whole staff visited. He's Hunter's teammate from the Utah Prospects AAU squad that visited on the first weekend in with Parker, Hunter, and Samuta Avea.

Here's his offer list, including one from Cal.

Stupid auto correct. You are right.

I believe, from previous articles, that Knell is planning on a mission so he will really enter school with the 2019 class. IOW, we could gain a commitment from him and still have room to sign another immediately available 2017 wing (someone like Parker Stewart, for example).
 
This article states exactly what I thought. He wants to go to a school where he can come in and have an impact. I like our chances with Parker. All he has to do is beat Jeremy Lieberman to a starting spot and he takes the floor as a freshman on a team with 6 seniors, that's likely going dancing.
