(AP) — Wyoming’s basketball team got a bit shorter Tuesday with the announcement that 6-foot-9 Lee Mayberry, once heralded by Coach Benny Dees as “the most important prospect to this program,” was transferring to a junior college. : Mayberry spurned offers from Notre Dame and North Carolina to en- roll at Wyoming last fall, but he struggled throughout his freshman season and showed only glimpses of the dominating inside player Coach Benny Dees hoped he would mature into. Mayberry’s name came up earlier this year when there was speculation about whom Dees might redshirt next year, but the coach said no decision Leaves Program would be made on redshirts until later this year. ‘We certainly hate to see Lee leave the Cowboys,” the head coach said in a release issued Tuesday. “It was his decision, and I’m sure it was a very difficult one to make. We believe that he will be an outstanding player one day. We wish him the very besi for his future. “We would hope he would again consider the Wyoming program after next season,” said Dees. Mayberry was recruited along with three other big men — 6-10 Reggie Page, 6-10 Brian Rewers, and 6-9 Quentonia Higgins. Together, Dees viewed the three as the most agile big men he's ever coached.
