Hunter Thompson the one you thinking of?

McDermott flew out to watch him play in the state tournament this year. Creighton likes him. I haven't heard anything about Kansas showing much interest (and trust me, he would be talking about it if they were). I do know that Shyatt and company have been pulling out all the stops when it comes to recruiting him. Pine Bluffs is only 90 miles from Laramie. They don't want to lose a kid with this much talent from their own back yard.

Gotta get this kid.
Need to have a couple stellar seasons coming up and give him a real reason to come here.

He is a class of 2017 guy, so will probably be committing next summer. That means we only have one more year of him to see UW's program and frankly it will be a rebuilding year. However, I hope he took note of the excitement and fan support that last year's team generated and the accomplishments of Larry Nance.

It seems at least every 4 years we can find a Wyoming kid that can play D1 bball. We absolutely should do this if we even have the chance. I know it means a LOT to our fan base. I remember talking to people that didn't want to watch the team back in my day cause we didn't have a Wyo kid. Our Wyoming guys go hard for that shirt on their chest. They know what it all means. It's good to have a heartbeat like that on our team always that gives that state connection into the program.

He is a pretty important recruit. At minimum, the most highly recruited Wyoming prospect since James Johnson and maybe even higher than that.
Not very many Wyoming HS players on scholarship in D-1 right now. A couple of years ago there were several with Thomas (Pacific), Martin (Montana), and Brown (UCSB) on rosters in addition to McManamen, but unless I missed somebody JMac was the only Wyoming HS player on scholarship at the D1 level this past season. Wollenman was a walk-on, but obviously in a great spot at MSU. That's about it though.
We don't have much talent in our backyard, important to keep it home when it comes along.

All big men need to take note. Shyatt turned a 2* under recruited, skinny kid into an NBA first round draft pick. He also turned a non basketball playing football JC transfer into a European League pro....which probably comes with a nice paycheck.
Shyatt can and will develop the kids in the program. And, if those kids put effort into getting better, they will become much better players.

Rob Heyer from Boise State is from Worland. Was he on scholarship?
