Wyoming has dismissed transfers Ethan Anderson (USC), Max Agbonkpolo (USC) and Jake Kyman (UCLA) from the basketball team.
“We thank Max, Ethan and Jake for their contributions to the program,” Coach Jeff Linder said in a statement. “We wish them well in their futures, both on and off the court.”
Talk about an embarrassing exit.
Anderson was Wyoming’s third-leading scorer this season averaging 7.9 points. He also had 60 assists and 41 turnovers in 17 starts.
Agbonkpolo averaged 5.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16 games (six starts) while Kyman added 4.5 points and 1.6 rebounds in 18 games (one start).
“I know what right looks like and I know what wrong looks like,” Linder said Tuesday. “As we move forward, we just want to make sure we have the guys who want to be every day dudes and who want to show up and work and put the time in and do the little things.”

They were 7-15, 2-8 in the conference, with only one win on the road. It starts at the top. I question the coaching. Perhaps the coach is the one who should be embarrassed. The three players mentioned recognized his incompetence

Well, Ed, I would not linger too long on this topic and move on to another one because this Wyoming coach, who took the Cowboys to the NCAAs last year for the first time in 8-years but is having difficulties this year, apparently thought the 3 transfers were not bringing their best stuff to his program, and since he was having a losing season anyway, got rid of the guys
Next topic, Scott

I don’t think Bryon Leftwich left the TB job – he was fired. And I have not heard that he was offered the ND job yet. ND is interviewing multiple candidates. But can you image going from reviewing film and game time adjustments and audibles with Tom Brady to some college kid. Tough adjustment.

Trying to figure this one out. It’s not adding up. Starting to sound a little like scapegoating perhaps. I usually seem to side with coaches since i know how much players can turn it on and off these days if they don’t get exactly what they want. The Cowboys lost their best player before the season even started and now lost their top scorer the other night for the rest of the season. Now they dismiss 3? They are down to 7 scholarship players and 2 walk ons. The 3 LA kids had their minutes massively reduced over the last 3 games. The coach seems to be talking in circles in his releases. Talks about effort, consistency etc. Welcome to D1 basketball these days. The 3 kids all have ties with each other that go back to middle school. The words defensive effort was thrown around a bit. As I recall, at least Anderson and Agbonkpolo were better than average defenders at USC, and Kyman was just a snipper at ucla and has been fighting through a back injury. To cut them loose seems like a defense or exit strategy from the staff. I don’t want to assume but it seems fishy unless these kids got in trouble and they were trying to keep it quiet. Or else the whole team has issues and these kids are the sacrificial lambs. If one kid got the axe you probably loose all 3 since they were each others lifeline in a far off place.

I recall in about 1986, USC had three very talented freshman basketball players – Hank Gathers, Bo Kimble, and Tom Lewis. SC fired their coach and hired George Raveling. Apparently, the players wanted to be consulted on the new hire and protested to the administration. When Raveling took over, he immediately dismissed all of them. Gathers and Kimble transferred to Loyola and had great success. Gathers had a heart problem and died but Kimble led Loyola to a final 8 appearance and was drafted 7th overall. And Raveling had some great teams including one with Harold Minor. So, this idea that you dismiss kids that are talented but don’t fit into the culture that you are building in not unprecedented.

Plow House it was actually four freshman, the other being Rich Grande. I don’t remember them being dismissed as much as they decided to leave. I was hoping that Tom Lewis would stay (he was on the fence as I remember?) but moved on to Pepperdine and Gathers & Kimble were basically a package deal from Philly and were pretty much out the door.
Grande, the worst of the four stayed 😕
