Some posts on here have dealt with two issues (1) the lack of transfers and (2) fact Adams is only senior next year.
Well part of the reason is Adams will be the only senior next year is the result of having recruited transfers.
A look at Wyoming recruiting classes since the return of Shyatt. Transfers Wyoming recruited in bold.

My take
Wyoming, has, except a year ago, taken transfers, including four in 2011-12 when holes from inherited team were being filled, and that has left team with one senior next year becuase one HS player transfered and one redshirted.
Of the transfers, Gilmore, Cooke, Sobey were good players. Granberry came in as a sixth man and provided emotin. Hankerson has never turned corner. Sellers was a mistake.
Starting with the 2012-13 class there is a foundation being put in place.
There also is some size.
