4 Star visit

Who said anything about tall and slow?
I used Ricky White as an example, he wasn’t slow. Not all tall WR’s are slow?

I just don’t want a bunch midgets on the edges, there’s a clear difference between DeJesus and White as targets downfield!
I wouldn’t consider Ricky a “tall” receiver. He’s not short by any means, but a tall WR to me is 6’-4” and up.

Let’s talk Deion Sanders..

Watching him lose was the best thing I’ve ever felt in my life.

I was so happy for BYU. If you’re gonna tithe, they will take care of you the rest of your life.

I’ve always hated Deion and his kid Shiloh. I don’t care about Shaddooh doh in the pros.

But let’s talk Commanders. I’m rooting for them just because Jimmy Carter passed away. Washington Commanders in the playoffs. My mortal enemy.

4 Star visit

I care a little bit. If we're leaning on a 5'5 set of receivers, they'd better be special. But I'd rather have the 5'5 guy who can play than the 6'5 guy who is slow, soft, and doesn't have hands.

CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread

I know it’s a long shot at best, but South Dakota State QB Mark Gronowski is entering the portal. Most likely gonna follow his coach to Washington St.
He most likely tests the nfl waters. If he remains in college the big boys are going to try and drop bags on him the likes of which Wazzu couldn't match. Sure he is familiar with the coaches but so what. He will be blinded by the bags.

Army and UNLV

I would say less than 50%. I really don't think that the Big 12 really wants to elevate more G5 teams if they don't have to. I think they are still watching the ACC to see if anything happens there, though that looks less likely than inevitable at this point.
What the Big 12 needs is more quality football. I think they hit the pause button on that UConn deal mostly because of the football program not doing anything to help.
Now UNLV is in good standing right now. Good market with bonus points for fans who want to come here for conference games. Just finished in the final comp rankings.
We did have our best year ever after being one of the worst FB programs in the country. We lost our coach and a vast majority of players that got us there.
Mullen was a home run hire with a contract that is P4 level. His buyout was purposefully low so you can't count on him staying IF he can do as well or better. Oh yeah, it is getting even more difficult to compete with power conference teams for players with NIL blowing up like it has.
So for UNLV to get that call they have to stay a top 25 level team for a few years, it would really help to crash the playoffs, and then we have to hire another homerun and start over from scratch personnel wise yet again most likely.
Unless the Big 12 gets desperate and they have another subpar year next season, AND UNLV not only keeps pace, but somehow does even better, then a call may come sooner than 6 years or so.
Which makes it tougher because we will be playing in a weaker league after next season and our degree of error becomes razor thin.
Fair assessment. I’d prefer we roll the dice and take our shot as Harp has done. We’re like a player on a hot streak at the craps table. Ride it as far as we can.

UNLV Hockey

One thing I’ll say about Foley is he really has dropped the ball for supporting local hockey IMO. Does very little for youth hockey as far as funding and includes the rinks at t-mobile and Henderson rink as the required sheets of ice by the NHL. (Which the youth can’t really play at). The City of Henderson basically funded that who thing anyways. Yes him bringing the knights in sparked the youth hockey movement, but have been pretty disappointed by the lack of support especially with how this community has supported his team and made him millions.

He should be a huge advocate for UNLV hockey and fund raise to get them their own rink so they can get to D1. I’m assuming he doesn’t want competition either for the Silver Knights.
I am guessing you haven't followed UNLV hockey much? Foley has been very involved and done a lot for UNLV hockey as well as local hockey.

Zaon Collins

I am aware of the feelings that Las Vegans have for him and that it is not possible to say anything positive about him without drawing out the negative feelings about him and what happened here but with that said.

He is a true point guard that is extremely fast, quick, great handles and a very good passer. Last night was the first time I have ever seen him play and am very impressed.

I dont think he will be in the Mountain West next year. The Blue Bloods will come calling for a pass first point guard that can feed their 4 & 5 star scorers.

Washington State hires South Dakota State HC

It doesn't always need to be bad to have zero west coast ties. Odom really had no west coach ties when he took over UNLV, and they did most of there recruiting from the south, and look what that did for UNLV. So far of the five recruits for UNLV under Mullen, four are from Florida, and one from Texas. Also all of the coaching staff he has brought in came from back east.
Well I suppose. I guess Rogers will bring the South Dakota recruiting market to bear....... :)

Miss State

The only reason Dan left Miss St is because Florida called. And the only reason he was fired from Florida was because he had 1 bad year/cycle and fans expect National titles there every season. Otherwise he'd still be there somewhere winning 10 games or more a season. Us getting him was a steal and major move.
Are you sure you won't consider trading him for WSU's new coach? It will save you $2M/year.

Miss State

I sometimes read other message boards to get a different take. I read Miss States board just to see how they felt about CDM taking the UNLV job. For most, CDM for football at Miss State is almost akin to Tark for UNLV basketball. Not quite, but the majority of Miss States fans would take him back in a heartbeat. In general many felt CDM had 3 stars playing like 5 stars in the SEC. Also, I didn’t know CDM at one point had Miss State ranked no. 1 in the country after starting out 10-0 in 2014 and losing to no. 4 Alabama and Saban 25-20 on the road. MSU finished no. 7 in the final AP poll that year. Also, CDM’s new defensive coordinator is Zach Arnett who was his dc at Miss State. Their take on CZA was very positive. Apparently, Arnett is very aggressive with his defensive schemes and expect an aggressive defense. On the offensive coordinator, Corey Dennis is Urban Meyers son in law. I don’t know if that connection has been mentioned.

4 Star visit

Percy Harvin was 5'11 and had almost 4000 yards from scrimmage and 32 TDs in this system... I think he knows how to work with a short quick WR
He has also had a roster of WR’s well over 6’0” at both his stops as well.
We just saw what a good taller WR in Ricky White can do so I still would like to see a taller WR on the team to go with the others!

Washington State hires South Dakota State HC

Scroll up to read my thoughts. But to summarize, I think this is a shit hire. We could and should have done much better.

My idiot Coug brethren? Most of them think this is a home run hire. And that Rogers apparently bringing his entire staff of completely non-FBS experienced coaches with zero West Coast ties is great news. And that he apparently will be bringing a bunch of his FCS players to bolster the roster is wonderful news.
My post on the G-5 PAC weren’t aimed at you at all. In fact, I have enjoyed reading some of your takes and views on WSU football and the G5 PAC.
