Re: Heather Ezell - Cowgirls Head Coach

McKinley Bradshaw will not be returning for her 4th year. She is apparently graduating in 3 years and will go on her mission. Tough loss for the program but congrats to her on graduation in 3 years! Wonder if not wanting to play for Ezell had anything to do with it I am sure that is not the case. I...

Re: Linder Extended through 2027

Maybe there are lots of incentives. Hmmm There are incentives but they aren’t that special. Something like an extra 25,000 if they get to the NCAA Tournament or win the conference. Nothing major. He may be able to get up to $800k. Maybe if he keeps making the NCAA tournament they can take some of t...

Shout out to Gerald. Awesome guy and a great representative for the university and the state. He and Legerski were both class acts and great coaches. The kind of guys that players would run through a wall for. No surprise they had success. Wish Wyoming had more like them. Hoping Coach Ezell learned...

Re: Parker Stewart...again.

Good player who would do well under Linder IMO. I kind of doubt it would happen, but I would certainly be happy to see it.

Hope his next step works out for him either way.

Re: Ben Bowen in the portal

A lot to unpack in this thread, but a couple of comments: 1. Fans often see the flaws in their own players easier than they see flaws in potential newcomers or opponents. Basically a “grass is greener” type of thing. The reality is that trying to replace HT is more likely to result in the next Eoin ...

Re: Cowgirls in the 2022 WNIT

Gerald Mattison in retiring. I’m a bit surprised considering he only took over a few years ago when Legerski retired. I imagine the replacement is in-house again. 90% sure this was the plan all along, with Gerald acting as a bridge between Legerski and Ezell. It’s why when G was hired, he just did ...

Re: Ben Bowen in the portal

This still looks like the coaching staff is being honest with guys because Nelson, Dut, Bowen, Grigsby weren't going to see much p.t. for years. If the coaching staff can land a few studs we can really upgrade the talent and depth on the roster. It still depends on what the 2 Hunters are doing. Bar...

Burman is Laramie's "Fair-Haired Boy." Burman Chevrolet? Millionaire daddy? Regarding the feared departure of Coach Linder for "The Big Time," I can't help but think of all the WAC/Mountain West coaches, in all sports, who bolted and then failed. I can name most of them, but so ...

Re: Linder contract

Total gut feeling with nothing else to go off, but I feel like Linder is the type of guy that wants to accomplish something real before leaving for a new job. Like a MWC championship, an NCAA tournament win/run, and getting the AA full again. I don't think he bolts before accomplishing those, even ...

Let's take a look at some of the past transfers. I'll keep it to players that actually played and had an impact in Laramie: Josh Doctson (2011) - TCU - 1st round draft pick Kody Sutton (2011) - Southeastern Louisiana - starting RB Jason Thompson (2013) - Utah - backup safety Jonathon Kongbo (2015) ...

Re: Ike is one and done (minus COVID)

I don’t care how great Linder is, if the Arizona coaching staff called Ike after their game and offered him a chance at final fours, hot babes, nice weather and possibly money, he’s gone. Maybe just maybe they stay to showcase and stand out. I doubt it Good thing you're not in charge of recruiting ...

Re: South Florida

Christmas day against a not very good South Florida team. Wyoming needs to put them away early and win this by 20+. My concern is the team comes out flat against a team they should steam roll and let's USF control the pace of the game. Tempo will likely be slow regardless. Pokes are 291st in Tempo ...

I actually think we should go to fcs now. In fact, most of the MWC should too I never thought I’d agree with SDPoke but I agree with this. FCS schools will likely have more stability with players and we can look forward to playoffs and competing. Not a system where we are a minor league for teams i...

I was just somewhat irritated after the Stanford game. Blowing off steam. I thought we were better than Stanford. We just didn’t shoot as well as we could have or we win that game semi easily. I still think we finish 5th to 7th in conference. Just not enough depth. I Like the team and coaches, just...
