Just stuff thrown at the wall.

I'd ask the writer; what connection does he have to Martyn? The branch bros were easy to connect because of Gorman but that's a pipe dream.

They're likely a package deal and I'm not sure we could afford one of them.

Wish we had a CBB coach that had some rizz and can do tv interviews on the regular. Hardly see anything media and promoting wise on the CBB side.

Absolutely. Every time, UNLV Football is on ESPN and FS1, for interviews.
It, is great advertisement for our program.
National press, is awesome for high end recruits looking at UNLV.

He has been on more media in the last 2 weeks than Odom would be on in a year. Every time you turn around you find another Mullen clip. This is what gets your name and image out to all the recruits that love video and social media!

Being from Hawaii, it would be a good connection with the 9th Island and also with playing Hawaii in Las Vegas next year.

Marion wanted to be a HC, that was always his goal.

I do not buy that domed stadium crap. While I do not want to admit it, since he may be leaving, Chittenden set a field goal distance freshman record verse Oregon State in the rain

He also fell short on one in Boise in the cold.I have to imagine conditions played a role in it.

Kicking in a dome and not dealing with the elements has to be easier overall. Not just from the actual kicking but the snap and hold as well.

There was an actual Harvard study on it in for the NFL (Good to see those outrageous tuition costs are studying things that matter!)

'Not surprisingly, there is a strong association between kicking indoors and greater FG success. From distances of greater than 20 yards, being indoors is strongly associated with higher FG success. And the significance of this association appears to increase along with the length of the FG attempt.'

It did go on to say that after 50 yards there wasn't much difference. Having more to do with kickers leg strength. But from 20 yards to 49 yards significantly easier kicking in doors.

Him and that FCS dude from Rhode Island..I'd be feeling pretty good. Add in the Michigan CB...Even better.

James was good happy to have him but no he is done no eligibility left.

I thought so but it's impossible to know anymore.

All these names every year…we aren’t rooting for players anymore just rooting for the laundry.

Yeah I would prefer Burrell over James. 100%. Was more mentioning James because it makes for a crowded running back room.

If Arnett is in fact the DC, I really like this dude as a fit in the 3-3-5 coming off the edge..

He put up some monster stats. Grant it was vs FCS competition but it definitely caught my eye. 12 sacks credited with 20 TFL...

Thanks for this post and all who are contributing to it with info, I appreciate the effort. This is the info we all want to hear about, much appreciated!

His main recruiter there was Ryan Gunderson. Murphy is from SoCal. Gunderson has been trying to get him on their roster he was the QB coach for UCLA. The landing spot really does seem weird, but the word is that Duke was trying to recruit over him.

He had accuracy issues at Duke, though he did have a monster passing year, he posted similar stats as Maiava. I wonder how much they’re paying him. He was making $240k at Duke, but war chest from Oregon state is a bit of a mystery to me. I believe he could have made more somewhere else.

Add to it Oregon State is playing basically an independent schedule this year. Extremely outside chance at CFP.

Would think he had some potentially more lucrative offers in terms of NIL not to mention better options armt CFP.

Seems weird there haven’t been many assistant coaches being hired/announced yet. Also, kinda concerning haven’t seen a lot of portal players announcing offers and or official visits.
I expected 3-5 coaches being hired and announced by now and 10-15 portal guys boasting about offers.

Odom took three weeks to finish his staff announcements.

I would take Burrell 100x over James. Burrell is going to be a beast in a year or 2. All MWC team.
