"We felt that we wanted to still have a solid base of high school players in the program, and we have that with the 24 prep signees, but also we also needed to balance some depth issues in the class and we were able to get 16 transfer portal and junior college players," Wyoming head coach Jay Sawvel said. "It provides us with a better balance amongst classes due to attrition from a couple seasons ago."
