LARAMIE, Wyo. — On the day Josh Adams signed with Wyoming, there was no live announcement on ESPN. He was not a five-star prospect surrounded by hype.

"I wasn't heavily recruited," Adams said, without a hint of bitterness.

Four years later, he's the nation's No. 4 scorer, averaging 25.7 points. His name is listed just below another senior guard - Buddy Hield of Oklahoma. But putting up big numbers is not something Adams envisioned this season.
