UNLV will be losing 4 starters and 2 second teamers on Defense. Hardest hit will be the "D" line which sees both starting tackles (Hughes & Fao, as well as 2nd teamer, Finau, graduating).
UNLV also loses DB's Jackson & Chissoms and LB Keyes who all contributed. Replacing Mike Hughes and Jason Fao will be hard to do, they were both leaders and will be missed.
Also addition by subtraction as UNLV looks for 2 new Defensive Coaches. Good luck to both Coach Baer and Coach La Russa. Should be a big opportunity for UNLV Football to get alot better depending on who we hire.
As far as the incoming Defensive Recruits thus far I think there is alot of talent. I don't think I have ever seen a UNLV class that had three 3 star D-Lineman in it. 247 sports has Heimuli, Mosley, and Manoa as 3 stars.
In the Defensive secondary your adding 2 JC players in Plummer & Vartic, as well as 2 HS players in Hill & Jackson. Vartic will be the sleeper in this class. He should be solid.
Coach Sanchez you have done a great job in getting the funding for the Football Facility. UNLV's recruiting is better than ever. Now all you have to do to get UNLV in a Bowl game is to hire better Coaches than the two you let go....... and don't ever let unr beat us again. That's unacceptable.
One last point: Coach Sanchez said he has 25 spots open this year for scholarships. So we should be getting alot more help before this class is finalized
