LARAMIE, Wyo. (Nov. 14, 2018) – University of Wyoming head basketball coach Allen Edwards announced the signing of Kenny Foster to the Cowboys for the 2019-20 season on Wednesday. A native of Aurora, Colo., Foster is the first signee of the 2018-19 signing class.
 
"We are excited to add Kenny (Foster) to our program," Edwards said. "We have really seen him grow as a basketball player and have spent a lot of time with him this summer and fall. This is a tremendous addition to what we are doing here at Wyoming."

He has the ability to score the basketball on all three levels. He is a great rebounder and a tremendous athlete that fits the mold of the players we want in this program."
