  1. How is that karma? Any time a player betters his situation and gets hurt it is karma?  
    I've acknowledged that karma was a poor choice of words. And I apologize. I still reserve the right to be disappointed that he showed no loyalty to the school that believed in him and gave him an opportunity to excel, leaving for a school that didn't take him originally, but put out the red carpet once he showed he was legit.

  2. You should just accept the new reality of your life.  Your school is now a minor league team.  Anyone of value on your roster will move on to bigger and better things at the first opportunity.  Have fun!!!!
    It begs the question why he wasn't recruited by Texas right out of highschool? He had to prove his worth on the High Plains before the big boys would give him a chance. I concede that "karma" was a poor word choice. Bad luck is more like it. I hold no animosity towards him, he obviously was a very pleasant surprise as he emerged as a very dangerous deep threat his second year in Laramie. And I concede that once he got wind of P5 interest it was in his interest to leave Wyoming's run-first system. On the other hand, had he stayed, I believe he'd have he same kind of visibility with the NFL that allowed Josh Allen to be drafted in the first round out of Wyoming.

  3. I was bummed out to learn WR Neyor sustained a season-ending injury at the latest Texas scrimmage. Karma? Perhaps he should have stayed in Laramie. Hope he's recovered by next year when the Pokes visit Austin.

  4. Everyone on earth predicted this with the portal. This is what you get so good they fucked the game up.  It’s basically ruined the high school recruiting landscape. It’s very much the discussion in local circles in the area that unless you’re a top dog stud the days of diamonds in the rough and late bloomers are coming to an end when you have 3000 kids in the free agency market with a year or so of maturity and body prep at the ncaa level.  It will be harder for the small school fringe players to get a shot, some coaches here are now looking at alternative ways of getting kids into schools that aren’t 4-5 star.   If the portal was a thing during Colts day. A low 3 star from some 2a no man’s land he may never get discovered.      It will likely end up as a  single double triple A type System where you get the guys going to Wyoming, Idaho or FCS land. Perform well transfer to a big program abs finish out. 
    Schools like Wyoming will find the rough cut diamonds, polish them up, and school like Texas will scoop them up; just like Neyor. He wasn't highly recruited. Wyoming was his best offer. In two seasons showed what he could do, and bam, gone. Schools like Wyoming will become the AAA to the Texas major league.
