It means he doesn't think he could make it at UNLV. I guess it is a good thing that the quality of players continues to improve!

I'm not so sure it's he didn't think he could make it, more he has a better chance of being the guy vs being a part of a tandem or even trio.

He goes and lights it up at Texas State he's likely back in the portal again getting interest from bigger schools. Here considering the depth at the spot he likely doesn't see nearly as many touches.

He's plenty talented enough. I really liked his potential. Good size and strength and only a freshman.

Recent blurb about his commitment to UNLV.

'On3’s Pete Nakos previously reported three other schools were in the running for Colandrea, with two coming out of the ACC. Pitt and Syracuse hosted the quarterback on visits, in addition to Ole Miss’ involvement.'

Looks like Pitt and Syracuse visits, says interest from Ol Miss no mention of visit there.

Pardon me if I'm the only one on the board without a Woodie over this guy. I don't think he sucks but he's not Homecoming King either.

Colandrea Yds - 2,125 TD - 13 INT - 11 QBR - 42.7

Williams Yds - 1,941 TD - 19 INT - 5 QBR - 62.9

Hell yes Mullen is a home run hire and knows QB's. But at the same time I can read. And his stats for this year are worse than Williams. And the idea that Williams was playing inferior competition doesn't really hold. If that was true then every QB in the MWC should be playing lights and every QB in the SEC should suck. Yes, Colandrea played against defenses that were better than MWC defenses - BUT he had an offense that also was P4 caliber. Compare apples to apples.

He had at least one WR he could throw to that was similar to RW3. But his O line was smaller and lighter than UNLVs’ with P4 defenses in his face all game long.

Our smallest O linesman was our center who is taller and heavier than their starting right guard. Across the board at every O linesman position, our guys had 10-30 pounds and a couple of inches of height to their guys.

Our offense struggled against Boise’s defense. Four of his final 6 games were played against ranked opponents. Three of those opponents were ranked higher than or close to Boise at the time.

When you’re the optimistic one, we are in trouble. 🤣

I get you! 🤣

You all know I am okay with telling the emperor you got some holes in your armor.
UNLV football and basketball have had their holes no doubt and I don’t mind saying so even if I’m the only one saying it, but I will let this new QB at least get here and work with Mullen before I condemn him to irrelevant!

I think more Mullen knows QBs and this is his guy. Have to trust his evaluation of him.

I think the one stat that does catch your eye is the TD/INT ratio if you were looking for a negative.

But based on the schools looking at him there's definitely reason for some optimism.

Looking and taking are two different things. Odom was able to bring in 100's of recruits during the year, but he never was going to take them all.

Nice highlights. Kid has some gumption standing in the pocket and throwing darts with linebackers coming down on him. His throws get to the receivers much more quickly than his size would indicate. He also evades linebackers well when he runs, similar to Hajj. I don’t expect him to play like that on every down, but it sure will be nice to have a QB who hits his open receivers in the chest rather than the ankles on most passes.

Do you think Mullen is a home run hire, didn’t you say that? If so do you think he deserves the benefit of the doubt or do you think you know best? Nobody is predicting anything but I think if Mullen was the guy, you wait to gripe until next season, I will wait and see!

Mullen deserves his guy and has earned that but it wasn't Rebel Net who benched him at the end of the season.

I've read that described two ways. 1. He was benched for poor performance in the prior three games. or 2. He notified the staff he was going in the portal and they benched him.

The guy that replaced him had a poor performance in the final game. ( 9/36 0 TD 2 INT 54 QB rating)

CSU/USU suing MW over exit fees

Actually they turned down a 30 mil deal from ESPN after the LA schools left.

So how low were OSU and WAZZU's value to drop the overall value of that deal.

Well the big 10 and big 12 thought those schools were worth about 30 mil a piece. Neither conference thought that the remaining 2 schools were but there is no way they are worth less than 10 each on average. The math doesn't make sense if they were.

Now those schools are obviously worth less now tham with the others but I think many are really undervaluing their media worth.

Follow the money. The Pac 2 said no to merger for a reason and it wasn't just pride. They broke off because they knew they would make more even with potentially high up front costs.

Obviously things did not go as planned, but there is no way they are worth anything near what the new MW will be. We have some really poor markets and I think that will hurt us down the road.

Its more of ESPN offered $31m, and then Pac opened negotiations with a $50m counteroffer. Espn then completely withdrew their bid and walked away.

Which is a surprise because he looks good or maybe they cut him a larger check than others because he is more valuable to them than to a bigger school.
