Looks like we're playing in the Maui...

I talked to two transfers who we recruited. They both said that the staff didn't apply enough pressure. These are not scrubs either, it's 2 guys who had interest in coming to Vegas and are better than the folks we got.

Glad to see the staff trying their best and going after guys like they really want them!

Transferring to UNLV

Utah State transfer Great Osobor, the top available player in the NCAA transfer portal, has committed to Washington.
Osobor, the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year, has name, image and likeness agreements in place that will give him the highest-known valuation in college basketball this season, at $2 million.

If these numbers are accurate its no wonder why we're unable to land program changing players. Luckily we were able to retain Dedan but if other top players are expecting multi-million dollar payouts UNLV Basketball is not going back to the upper echelon of college basketball. These numbers seem insane but I guess this is the new landscape, makes me wonder what a top 50/100 type portal player is getting.

Per Lobby on twitter, UTEP transfer Nick Scalise has commited to UNLV. 6'-6" 308#

After next season ends for both major sports, which do you think will be more successful?

By success, we will define it as - the season in which you are more proud of the achievement.

Football or basketball?

over the past week, ten days, I’ve been...

Gonna post here on famous people who died.

Today’s first victim.

Shock G from Digital Underground. He sang Humpty Dance and introduced the world to 2pac Shakur.

I have one song that I own from Digitial Underground.

9 minutes of Doowhatyoulike.

Solid pickup if true...

What are the odds this recruiting approach will work in the NIL era? The Bronco’s adopting this recruiting approach will fail IMO..

While I didn’t sit in on this conversation, I believe the numbers that are thrown out.

I like it.

Revenue sharing up to 22% to players , so Conferences that get 50 million plus per school vs us with what 8 mil? The 50 million (22% of it) most of that could be directed towards players , but with 8 million most of that will be eaten up by cost of running program. IMO some schools will just shut down. The players repensentation don't want any cap or restrictions . Yes I believe in Capitalism, but at what cost? They have to come to some guidelines or agreements to balance things out. 4 the safety of CBB. Separate Div 1 ? With the haves and have nots? This is on top of outside endorsements. Some kids will be millionaires ! Maybe some whole teams in 1-2 years. Multi millionaires. I don't know legally what they could do? Like maybe have 6 years of eligibility and STOP making kids take such heavy class loads? Yes it's weak sauce, but most of those degrees are worthless. But that would help dilute and spread out the talent more. I don't know exact financial numbers , but I know it a huge disparity between MWC and Big 12. https://www.espn.com/college-sports...y-more-27b-settle-antitrust-suits-sources-say
