Josh knows we need another big and I’m confident he will find the right one.

I would love a Euro-type big who can shoot from deep like the kid from Santa Clara who I thought was coming with Garson but ended up at Ohio State.

I love that both football and now basketball is in good hands at the same time, same season.

This is an exciting time to be us, a Rebels fan!

We need a point guard also. We’re two players away.

RANKING THE REBELS: Top 100

The Las Vegas Review-Journal selected a panel of 25 voters to rank the top 100 players in UNLV basketball history.

Same here, everyone on that list was the best player on a Final 4 team except Stacy who was a great second and part of a title team. Greg has an argument because of how much he meant to that team but I agree with the list.

I’m @ 5th - by Raiders … hope 3rd by Raiders- that would make a statement… especially with local support/investment and recruiting.

Those are good questions and I have no idea of the answers. Has the actual agreement been published?

I posted a link to the GOR here earlier. Quite possibly this thread.

To your earlier post, there is no specific discussion in the GOR that discusses anything that if the MWC fails to pay us any bonus money we can leave. Leaving for a P4 conference is our only out. Sure we can try and sue but, the bullshit GOR that we signed seems to have locked us down. I say bullshit because we signed our lives away without any guarantees if they don't pay. I've mentioned this before but people don't want to believe it. So, I posted the GOR for all to read so one can see for themselves.

rebelzzz · 2025-04-23T19:27:01-0600

I thought the 4 they had was good. I would go with LJ, Augmon, Sidney Green and Banks. But i could see Theus, Gilliam, Greg Anthony, or Owens there wih LJ and Augmon.

Rod_the_Rebel · 2025-04-23T19:19:14-0600

Honestly Pat McCaw should be on there. Dude quietly has three rings. Most successful Rebel ever on paper.

I dont know how to post it here or i would but SI posted an article about UNLV Mt Rushmore. They named the 4 players they would put on a UNLV Mt Rushmore. They had LJ, Augmon, Theus and Gilliam.
I dont think one could argue LJ or Augmon those 2 probably the best to ever put on a UNLV uniform (at least in my opinion). While Gilliam and Thues were great would those be your 4?
There were so many great players who would you put if you had to pick 4?

If this was the Rice era, the papers would be going nuts. I'll wait for January to see if they wake up. I can tell you one thing, the coaches in San Diego, Boise, Spokane, LA area are aware of Pastner's appeal and probable coaching prowess. He has some solid coaches helping him install the D and O so this should be fun.

You don’t say! The same coaches that coincidentally lobbied for unlv fans to be patient with CKK?

What I'm curious about is this and it's similiar to something @dcut03 brought up in the past.

UNLV signed a GOR for 2026 to 2032.

That media deal hasn't been finalized. And I'm not sure on the verbiage of the document.

What I'm getting at is could UNLV get out before 2026 or sue (seems to be the thing now) to try and get it reduced?

Im still in the camp the PAC probably won't get to a number that makes sense for UNLV to leave. But if they did and were willing to cover enough of UNLVs exit fees maybe it's feasible.

Memphis and Tulane etc would be need minimum 2 million more in media rights than UNLV to cover travel. I think that's what will ultimately keep them in AAC (I could be wrong maybe the PAC gets what they need)

I really don't think the PAC wants Texas State. It would be a desperation move for them.

In its current configuration MWC will be lucky to get 4 million. About what they had before but realistically less with inflation.

Short of it I don't know how it's going to play out but I think it's a more fluid scenario than it appears on the outside.

Those are good questions and I have no idea of the answers. Has the actual agreement been published?

They brought back Magoon Guath or whatever his name is, so he is the starter. But I hope SDSU tries to do some “twin towers” type of lineup against us, we should run them off the floor! Lol

He is playing the wrong sport with a name like Magoon he should be playing hockey with no more than a half dozen teeth.

I had read they didn't want her to be not sure why that was. Yeah the story line in the second game wasn't quite as good though the early surprise was. That whole last episode was loaded with action. With it being three seasons I wonder where they stop in terms of the second game? Also will they do all the flashbacks with Abby and her Dad like in the game because hunting butterflies and the like won't translate as well to TV unless they add to it.

I think they are taking the second game and stretching it out to 2 seasons. It is a very HBO thing to do.
Not sure how I feel about that.
Should have stretched the first game out more probably, but they didn't know it was going to be a hit.

I don't think UNLV is completely off the table for the PAC.

FOX could decide to carry PAC games it could push MWC football games to a less than desirable outlet.

FOX is getting a greatly reduced product in the new MWC. We can crap on the PAC all we want but their tv numbers were significantly better than MWC schools.

The next few days could be really interesting.

I've been down on the PAC potential in regards to a media deal however MWC could get what they were getting but with inflation that 3.6 to 4 million isn't worth what it was a few months a few years ago.

I still don't think PAC gets enough to compensate Memphis / Tulane to join but they could get numbers good enough to get UNLV to reconsider.

MWC hasn't re-upped with FOX as of yet and haven't announced their own deal either.

With the Grant of Rights that UNLV signed, I'm not sure if it is an option or not to go to the PAC at this point. Unless there was something in the GOR that gives unlv an out if some conditions aren't met.

If I remember, Josh wants to have a defensive team and I could be wrong but my hope is we have a team that extends the defense either full court or at least 3/4 court.

I think we have to have 15 scholarship players, per someone else’s post Warthog if remember right but 15 scholarship guys for all teams goes into effect.

There is still some additions and the way Josh is handling things, we can expect a few more 4 star types.

Practices should be a battle ground with the cream rising to the top and a good team come the season!

My gut feeling is that 15 scholarship rule will not be enforceable if it ends up in the courts!

rebel5280 said:
Were you the one who posted about teams needing 15 scholarship players, no walk-ons included in that number this year?

Yes.

( AI Search ) Starting in the 2025-26 season, NCAA Division I men’s basketball teams will have a roster limit of 15 players, up from 13, allowing for 15 scholarships instead of the previous 13. This change adds approximately 724 additional scholarships across Division I programs. The increase aims to expand opportunities for student-athletes, aligning with broader NCAA reforms, including new scholarship and roster limit adjustments.

AI search )
Potential for Walk-Ons:

While the new rules do not explicitly ban walk-ons, the practical reality is that walk-on opportunities will be limited. Schools that opt into the revenue-sharing plan (expected to include most Power 4 and some mid-major programs) must adhere to the 15-player roster cap, which includes both scholarship and non-scholarship players.
Some programs that choose not to opt into revenue sharing may maintain larger rosters with walk-ons, operating under older scholarship models. However, this is likely to be rare, especially in competitive conferences.
There’s also discussion of potential "practice squads" or scout teams to preserve opportunities for non-rostered athletes, similar to existing models in women’s basketball. However, this would require NCAA bylaw changes and is not currently implemented.

Maybe they get a portion of revenue from ticket sales rather than NIL. That will probably be the way the NCAA and Congress cleans this semi pro setup out. Otherwise, these NIL kids can go G league or some other semi pro league.

Amen

They would never go G-league. The average G league pay is $40K per season. That would be bottom and for a college pro!

I can not agree more with this statement!

I have got jumped on for saying this all the time but it’s what I use to rant about all the time. The coaches we hired hindered this from happening around here, there are no excuses.

UNLV football and basketball should be good every year. Here’s hoping for bowl games and March madness at season’s end every season.

If we reach that mountain top in both sports, the P4 invite will be ours! 😉

Financial Fair Play rules are supposed to blunt a little bit of that advantage, but you get teams like Man City and Chelsea that flaunt the rules and just ignore investigations and nothing happens, and they get so mad that they punish Everton and Nottingham Forest hard for lesser infractions.

Shit, european football is just like the NCAA haha!

Your point stands though in the each of the big European league in the last 25 years, only one time in the last 25 years has a non-traditional power team hoisted a cup (Leicester City in EFL, Montpellier in L1, Napoli in Serie A, Boavista in Primeira). The Bundesliga had 2 (Stuttgart and Wolfsburg), and La Liga had none though La Coruna won it 26 years ago). However all but one of those wins have come since the establishment of FFP.

Bro tell me about it. I am a Norwich City fan (yes, you read that right). Promoted-Relegated-Promoted-Relegated-Promoted-Relegated, Promoted-Relegated. Thank god we got the Brewers owners to buy the club. At least it's entertaining, although the excitement of getting promoted wears off by the next morning as it's a miserable death sentence for the next year. All 3 promoted teams this year are getting....relegated. Man Shitty still has like what, 110 FFP violations they've never had to answer to? Major props to Forest. Rooting for them hard. Ipswich spunked like $100MM to get relegated, we'll see them back in League 2 in a few years.
