Cowboys pick up more talent

It's didn't take Heath Schroyer long to get a commitment on the first day of the spring college signing period.

Desmar Jackson, a 6-foot-5 guard from Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio, faxed in his letter of intent early on Wednesday. Jackson had verbally committed to the Cowboys earlier in the year.

A Division I first team all-stater in Ohio (the highest class), Jackson averaged 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 steals per game last season. Other schools showing interest in Jackson were UConn, Ohio State, Akron and Kent State.

Schroyer has one scholarship left and it has been reported that he has also made an offer to another Ohio prep star, Akron (Ohio) St. Vincent’s-St. Mary’s star forward Daylen Harrison. The 6-6, 220-pound Harrison comes from the same high school as the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James. He averaged 17.2 points and 12.0 rebounds last season and was a second team D-II all-state pick.

In November, Schroyer signed Casper Natrona's Michael Dietz, a 6-7 small forward; Thomas Manzano, a 6-4 shooting guard from Garden City (Kan.) Community College and Amath M’Baye, a 6-9 forward from Stoneridge Prep.

Schroyer has done a good job of bringing outstanding talent to Wyoming. It will be interesting to see how that talent meshes in the next couple of years.
