Thomas tentatively scheduled to visit Wyoming

Former Colorado Basketball forward, Dustin Thomas, who announced he would transfer from the program a month ago, has tentatively scheduled a visit to Laramie, Wyoming to visit the University of Wyoming campus in the next two weeks.

The Casper Star-Tribune originally reported the potential visit, in a report that states another transfer, Will Magarity, a sophomore forward from Boston College may also visit.

Thomas has already visited Central Michigan University, and said he enjoyed Mt. Pleasant a lot.

Other potential landing spots for the Texas product include Louisiana Tech and Richmond.

Sources tell BSNDenver that Wyoming has also been in contact with another Buffs transfer, Jaron Hopkins.

Colorado Buffs Alumni become eligible for “The Basketball Tournament”

Less than 24 hours after I first reported the Buffs participation in the event on twitter, the team secured the 100 votes necessary to be eligible for the tournament.

Votes also determine seeding in the tournament, and right now the team now has 132 votes, good enough for the three-seed in the West region, but they only trail the one-seed by 38 votes.

Also, the fan who recruits the most votes for the team will be eligible for a 5,000 prize if the team wins the tournament.

You can read more about the tournament, and take in our interview with team General Manager, Beau Gamble, here.

Did Coach Mac forget Jay’s birthday?

It was one of those “man, I love twitter” moments. Colorado red-shirt freshman wide receiver, and son of the head coach, Jay MacIntyre, tweeted out a picture of a (likely auto-mailed) note from Coach Mac himself.

For the fun of it, lets just pretend that Coach Mac did forget his son’s birthday, and sent him this extremely vanilla note as an apology.
