Headed on vacation to do some fishing with my dad. Won’t be any where with cell phone or Internet access, so there won’t be any blog posts for a couple of weeks.
Talk to you soon.

I had a chance to catch up with Wyoming men’s basketball coach Heath Schroyer a couple of days ago.
He told me junior forward Afam Muojeke still is ahead of schedule in terms of his rehab from a ruptured patellar tendon in his knee suffered last season at BYU. Muojeke begins jogging soon and is expected to be cleared for all activity by September.
Most of the players that were in Laramie for the summer were given a break for July to head home for a little while. Senior forward Djibril Thiam is still in town doing an internship for UW’s athletic marketing department. I also talked to Thiam last week and he said true freshman guard Joe Hudson from the San Diego area can really shoot the ball and has looked good in summer workouts.
Cameron Harvey, a 6-2 guard out of Chicago, verbally committed to UW last year before he entered his sophomore year of high school. Harvey had a good sophomore season and is ranked in the top 100 junior-to-be high school players in the nation. He recently played on an Under-17 national team and played well.
UW still has one scholarship to give for this coming season, and Schroyer said there are a couple of players he and his staff are interested in. They are waiting to see if they will pass their academic requirements to get into school. Schroyer doesn’t feel the need to sign someone, and may opt to bring in a Division I transfer who would sit out the 2010-11 season. A candidate is former USC forward Leonard Washington. The 6-7, 230-pound Washington averaged 6.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game last season. He played in 20 games, all off the bench. Washington is from Lake Charles, La.

Interesting story coming out late last week about the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate. It now plans to list coaches’ APRs.
Some interesting debate from coaches in the story. Like it or not, the APR is important among college presidents whether a team is winning or losing. Here’s the link to the article. What do you think?
