Why did we go with such a short person. Hopefully, she can play good defense. Our biggest weakness which seems to take us down in the big games is our inability to consistently contest 3 point shooters. Two seasons straight we closed out our season with a team that we couldn't bother to defend against the 3. Just saying.

I hear ya. Ask, Lindy. Lol.
Was, hoping for a 5' 7" to 5' 9" PG too.

Well, here you go. Better, than 1 PG. Welcome aboard, Sydni Summers.

Bailey Thomas played as starting PG though clearly not one. Nia Johnson and Melanie Isbell were backups.

Essence came in the next season ('21-'22).

It's weird how I don't remember much from those Covid years including 20-21. I never got Covid but, I was also moving from one state to another during that season.

I love how the lawyers for the professional athletes are acting like their are no damages because they had not been paid yet, but there are damages that includes money spent for the athlete while at the school, money spent of bringing him to the school for the school visit, lost opportunity in regards to other athletes they would have gone after if he didn't didn't sign a contract with them, cost to find an other athlete to replace him, etc.... If you are going to be a professional, and sign an agreement, then you should also be held to the same standard when you break that contract!

💯 opportunity costs!

The other day you just liked a message saying that I was giving good info that hasn't been on this board since the last guy. Now I'm a chode because you didn't like one post. Sounds like you're a whiner and a bitch when you don't get everything you want.

I appreciate the info and the heads up. There was legitimate reason to fear with a number of locals hitting the portal. I was worried the mass exodus would be much worse.

Not saying that losing one of our starting linebackers is good; but I thought our starting defense was about to flood out.

Why, is it so hard to get a PG? I, know they are in high demand but getting at least one shouldn't be hard to do.
If, Colvin and Alexander are our only PG's next year. Expect, 5 turnovers a piece from them. We, are in trouble.

I’ll add to this, getting a moderately sized “big” in the middle too..

Anyone else blocked by Grimala on X? I saw an article on his and when I clicked to respond, saw that I couldn't, due to him blocking me. I'm guessing it's due to statements not related to UNLV sports, but that's just kind of odd to me. Anyone else getting blocked by him too?

Click to expand...

He had an article that went out about the transgender volleyball issue in MWC. Condemned the teams that forfeited.

A guy asked him on X if he would let his daughter enter a boxing ring with a biological male. I posted 'He won't answer that'.

BLOCKED.

I could see if I cursed or went at him, but for that?

Ok to be fair he use to post pics of his cooking. One particular picture was of a steak he made. It was the saddest thing I had ever seen. Well done but some how just grey in color through out with no char on it, like he had boiled it..

Anyway I posted 'I didn't think something could be killed a 2nd time'..

So maybe that was it. 😁

HE DID WRITE FOR A LIBERAL RAG PAPER. ALTHOUGH THEY ALWAYS HAD UNLV COVERAGE. NOW THAT HE IS LAID OFF THERE WILL BE A SPOT AT MSNBC FOR HIM.

My (uneducated) guess is that they will roll with Aaliyah Alexander, Teagan and, if the signing comes to fruition, Sydni Summers from SJSU. They have had a couple of seasons without true PGs competing in the role. Not championship seasons mind you...

Click to expand...

Under Lindy we've had Booker and Jackson. I don't remember Lindy as HC without a PG. Not saying we couldn't do it but, we seem to have had solid PG's running the team. Alexander may be capable. Teagan is not ready.

The star ratings are nice to get an initial impression of a player’s potential, but aside from that I don’t give them too much consideration. It’s better to look at stats and tape to really evaluate.

If you go just by 247s transfer rating, Dembele is our best pickup, which I don’t believe anyone thinks that (I like the pick up, I think he’ll do well here that being said)

Click to expand...

I hear you and agree but my question was why they don’t have any stars but the have previous production at their last stops?

It seems suspect that they don’t have anything next to their names but have previous production, on tape in both cases?

We are required to fill all 15 spots? Can you point me to that rule, I am unfamiliar with it?

Still looking. Last year, UNLV had 3 PG's.
Right now, only 1.

I’d take another 5, and leave the last spot open personally. Just in case an intriguing prospect decommits elsewhere, might be nice to have.

I know the 2 main transfer portal sites are 247 and On3..

But my question is why are Myles Che and Al Green have decent stats at their previous schools but they have no stars on the transfer portal websites?

Both guys have decent stats prior to being in the portal, why no stars?
