Dunston To Take Official Visit
Wade Dunston, an aggressive 6-3, 180 pound senior shooting guard/swingman from Bullis H.S. in Potomac, Md., is taking an official visit to the University of Wyoming this weekend.
Dunston has been erroneously reported by some media outlets as a West Virginia commitment, but Bullis Head Coach Mike Hibbs cleared up the situation recently for the Insiders Report/Rivalshoops.com.

"Wade has not signed," Hibbs said. "There was interest from West Virginia during the season, but nothing recently."
While the Mountaineers may not be in the picture, Wyoming has emerged as the front runner to secure Dunston's services this spring.
"There really want him and they are willing to prop him if he does not get the score," Hibbs pointed out.
Dunston tossed in over 20 points a game for the Bulldogs at the Slam Dunk Beach this past December. A strong driver who plays extremely hard, Dunston also has a nose for the basketball and knows how to draw contact on his forays to the basket.
In an earlier conversation with Hibbs, he mentioned that Dunston was being courted this winter by George Mason, Towson and Central Florida. Others who had expressed an earlier interest in Dunston were Hampton, Mt. St. Mary's, Robert Morris, Quinnipiac and Loyola (MD).
Hibbs said that Dunston has yet to qualify academically, though he expects Wade to have the 2.5 GPA in the core. Dunston will need to boost his SAT score to an 820 in order to qualify under NCAA guidelines.
The fact that Wyoming is willing to take Dunston whether he qualifies or not could wind up being a big trump card for Steve McClain's Cowboy program in this recruiting process.
