LARAMIE -- New Wyoming men's basketball coach Jeff Linder may have already pulled off his biggest recruiting coup of the offseason.
Sophomore guard Hunter Maldonado announced Wednesday night that he will be returning to the program following a coaching change that saw Linder replace Allen Edwards, who was fired after four seasons at the helm. Maldonado, the Cowboys' leading scorer and rebounder this season, took to Twitter to announce his decision.
"A lot has happened the last week along with the departure of a mentor, and great coach that had a big impact on my life the last two years," Maldonado tweeted.
