What do you base this on? The only three guys who can score are seniors. I think the needle is pointing down on this program.
Really? So Nance doesn't score much? It's true that our 3 leading scorers are all Seniors, but that happens to a lot of teams. We play just as many underclassmen as upperclassmen. Adams, Haldorson, McManamen are all Freshmen and Grabau, Nance, Cooke are all Sophmores. The young guys are developing nicely and in a season or two when Shyatts first class are seniors we can evaluate and see where the program is. It's premature to evaluate them as freshmen or sophmores and say the needle is pointing down on the program. It usually takes a season or two for players to adjust to D1 basketball, unless they are an exceptional talent--Bennet at UNLV--and let's face it those types of players aren't coming to Laramie at the moment if ever. Remember this was going to be a rebuilding period, Shyatt has just spoiled us with some pretty decent basketball and gotten us excited for things to turn around. Be patient, it could be worse we could be 0-9 in conference and 3-20 overall, which is where we would probably be with Schroyer at the helm.
