Wyoming's 2027 Recruiting Class Building Early Momentum as Jay Sawvel Expands Cowboys' Reach!

Commits. That’s all. No complaints about the pursuit of commitments.

Joe Tiller invited me to his office on a sunny August afternoon when I stopped to pick up the game schedule poster and we talked recruiting. He said he wasn’t going to settle for long term developmental players. He was expecting true or redshirt freshman to be able to play on special teams effectively and be starter quality by the redshirt sophomore year. He said if you were a redshirt junior and not dependable to play on special teams you were a waste of his time. He admitted he had to use his resources wisely because everyone will extend offers to the better players with rarely any of those considering a program that could only afford to make a phone call and send a letter. His advantage was if he was able to sign a decent player he didn’t have to re-recruit them as is the case nowadays.

Seen it all before. The clock ticks and things change. It would be really nice if the program made a major move in the winning direction this season. Not just 5 wins or even the Burman 6 win reward level. Need 4 or more wins in conference play and no less than 3 wins in OOC which means at least a 7-5 (4-4) record to get me to accept another season of the 2 remaining years of guaranteed contract after this season.

Unfortunately every season has the potential to be a roster changer and as Joe Glenn pointed out - birthdays can have their benefits and sustaining the quality of the roster will define the future.

Hope the program is successful in enhancing the roster this year and Wyoming fans can enjoy seeing some success which can help with recruiting. For now until potential players sign and we see the results that is when the excitement of their commitment grows. A lot happens between now and December 4, 2026 and the 2027 season. It starts this fall with a coach who is 7-17 (4-11) trying to revamp the offense which is amongst the weakest in all of D1 FBS football.

More AI garbage. None of the player photos on that graphic are Wyoming commits. They don't even appear to be real players at all.

Yes you are correct on the AI graphic, like most people are using these days. Great article though! Hopefully Wyoming has a decent season and can keep the current Commits and build a solid foundation class to build off of.

Really? Your defense is that "most people are using it these days?" Yes, most people are using AI these days, but most are not using it to copy-paste low effort crap into social media and message boards. In fact, you are the only one doing it on this board, and you won't stop despite being called on it many times.

And no, the article is not "great." It is, like everything you post, heavily AI generated and provides nothing beyond what any of us could get from a beat reporter or on the athletic department website (aka a real human).

But you are so bad at using AI that it's giving you completely erroneous outputs. You just posted a graphic that is 100% inaccurate. And then you didn't even take the time to notice that before posting it.

You may be the poster child for exactly how NOT to use AI.

Ok so where are the folks from if the below is not accurate?
Kingston Beyer - All Saints Episcopal (Fort Worth, TX)
Drew Benassi - Lee's Summit (Lee's Summit, MO)
Karson McKenzie - Cherry Creek (Englewood, CO)
Tucker Ingersoll - Pomona (Arvada, CO)
Michael Vander - Luitgaren Batavia (Batavia, IL)
Alijah Landrum-Hamilton - Cherry Creek (Englewood, CO)

Those are our commits, but the photos on your graphic are completely fake.

Google Kingston Beyer. He is not a large Black dude.

WOW, as an AI Guru I would have thought you knew that under U.S. copyright law, images generated solely by AI cannot be copyrighted by the prompter, so generating entirely fictional elements ensures you aren't infringing on a specific individual's right of publicity or a real photographer's copyrighted work.
U.S. Copyright Reality
- No Sole Authorship: The U.S. Copyright Office and federal courts (cemented by cases like Thaler v. Perlmutter) require human authorship to grant a copyright. Purely AI-generated images belong to the public domain
- Public Domain Use: Because these images are in the public domain, anyone can use them without paying royalties.

To your point, they will be fake/fictional. However while photos may not real the other items would be:

Kingston Beyer - All Saints Episcopal (Fort Worth, TX)
Drew Benassi - Lee's Summit (Lee's Summit, MO)
Karson McKenzie - Cherry Creek (Englewood, CO)
Tucker Ingersoll - Pomona (Arvada, CO)
Michael Vander - Luitgaren Batavia (Batavia, IL)
Alijah Landrum-Hamilton - Cherry Creek (Englewood, CO)

I find it interesting that a Wyoming fan would complain about content about your team? You must be a sheep fan posing as Cowboy on this board, or a journalist who covers Wyoming and charges subscription fees to teh content and fell threaten by the open source reporting that is being provided.

So your solution to complying with copyright law (which I know you don't actually care about, since you have already violated it here before) with respect to photos is to just use completely incorrect ones, rather than no photos at all. I would honestly rather you violate copyright law.

Yes, I applaud you for getting the names and high schools of the commits correct. I know that easily verifiable things like this don't always come easy to you, as we all saw from the completely incorrect graphic about Wyoming's historical records against this season's opponents.

The reason I am complaining about your "content" is because it is both low effort and factually incorrect. If you were trying to build your own blog/social media presence here though actual hard work covering and analyzing Wyoming sports and made mistakes in your content, I would be completely willing to give you a pass. But you are just a Georgia Tech fan who can't do more than copy and paste from an AI chatbot and won't do more than 2 minutes of basic fact checking before dumping it here.

Well, I can certainly respect your opinion, even if we see things differently. My goal is to provide content that Wyoming fans and college football enthusiasts can enjoy, and I understand that not every article or graphic will be everyone's cup of tea.

If my content isn't something you find valuable, I'd simply recommend not reading it. No hard feelings at all. I appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts, and I genuinely wish you the best.

Most importantly, I hope you enjoy following Wyoming football this season. It should be an exciting year in Laramie.
