I like that CKK is adding players with adequate height. No more sub 6' shorties.

why did we get Whiting from BSU when he’s now like 4th bench guard option. Wasted schollie imo could have found a wing or two plus shooter

It took till almost Mid-May to get this one and we still have an open spot... we couldn't find a wing or shooter so far... might as well grab a young backup PG with upside to give you 5 minutes off bench so DTJ can rest

He’s too busy buying oversized yellow wool sweaters

How many UNLV incoming Freshman are getting NIL money? Are MWC schools really giving $$ to a lot their HS recruits most of which are 0-3 star recruits or is Boise just saying what most are already doing? I have no idea I’m just curious.

Most I imagine are getting some support in addition to their scholarship and living stipends. They do appearances and poster signings just like everyone else. Or they do marketing videos etc. I think Boise is in a situation where they're trying to approach recruiting differently because they haven't been as successful as they have been in past doing traditional recruiting. He also saw his freshman QB jump ship due to NIL $ and got pushed into paying the RB by buying a house and expensive car or he was leaving. Maybe it's a leverage play, but just eliminating recruiting high value freshman regardless of their long term prospect seems short sided, especially for Boise which has always been about building success through their culture.

This is an impressive get. He seems exactly what we needed.

Exactly what we needed. A scoring option with 3pt range to go with DJ and Whaley.

So naturally at UNLV he'll average 8 and 3...
Lol. I joke

He’s finished IMO.

Against power conference competition (Kansas state, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State) he averaged 17.5 points and 6.8 rebounds

Mark Few has a similar strategy I believe.

Maybe Wyoming can bring McClain back?

Thanks that's great. If he can rebound at that size it means effort and I bet he is at least a capable defender.

Although not discussed much. Last years UNLV team was the worst rebounding team I can remember. I like the 6.4 rpg coming from the 2.

I like the 38% from 3. The shooter we need. This is a nice pick up. Get a Dedan back up and call it a day. Now I have more faith in the upcoming season.

Did we get that guard from Oral Roberts? If so that would be a good pick up. 14ppg and 38% from 3. I think that is what most of us had in mind. That would fill out the roster well if true. We just need a Dedan backup.

COMMITTED !

I’m kind of guessing that whoever tweeted the commitment out wasn’t supposed to because it wasn’t his place to.

Maybe I’m too optimistic.
