With a roster of just five returning lettermen, and a host of players who have never worn the school colors, one would expect a head coach to approach an upcoming season with some trepidation. Quite the contrary in the case of Wyoming Head Coach Steve McClain . Mix in a recruiting class that might be as talented as any Wyoming has had in years, and one can understand McClain's excitement. Early on we will count on those veterans while our new guys make the adjustments. How quickly we become a good basketball team will depend upon how quickly our new players make the adjustments to the system, to their teammates, and to this level of play.
Chemistry is something a coach worries about each and every season.
We have people who can play two or three different positions. That is a big positive for a coach as well as for the system we run. McClain indicated that his primary concern was how quickly so many new players will adapt to the system. We have a lot of big games early in the schedule which means we can't take too much time adjusting. Personnel aside, another factor that has everyone excited for the season is McClain's style of play.
