I found it quite interesting, that the recruiting letters / cards that were sent out to recruits recently were pictures of the back of the Wyoming football uniform (player photo) WITH the last name of the recruit on back.

The recruits will be sorely disappointed.

Probably not...but don't you think it is f-word up to use that "recruiting tool" - when the staff, et al, are the "name on the front, not the name on the back" type of folks? poop work IMO.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Recruiting has been doing that for years!

I have to side with peachy. To me it's very hypocritical. It's not selling the true brand.

Well, yeah, it's recruiting. Only a few schools in the country can really "afford" to show exactly what they are about and still be enticing for recruits. For most schools, it's all smoke and mirrors to a certain extent, making them look as desirable as possible until the recruits sign their LOI. That's the game, and a school like UW, in a place like Laramie, most certainly plays it.

They should let the players chose what "names" they want on the back of their jerseys. For example I would expect to see "SMASHER", "KILLER", "HOT DOG", "BEAST", etc. as choices.
