Laramie, Wyo. -- University of Wyoming head basketball coach Heath Schroyer announced on Tuesday that sophomore guard Eric Platt from Casper, Wyo., and sophomore center Travis Nelson from Marion, Iowa, are leaving the Cowboy Basketball program to pursue their collegiate basketball careers at other programs.

“Eric and Travis are two fine young men,” said Schroyer. “We appreciate their contributions to our program and wish both of these young men the very best.”
