Size wise, yes!
Let’s see him run Josh’s system first before any further comparisons or slander!
Sorry but look at his tape, he’s a well rounded PG with excellent size. Not afraid to go get rebounds either. He’s not going to get bullied on the court in conference play either.

If I’m building a team from scratch, that’s the type of point guard I’d get. Exactly the type of point guard.

Clearly CJP has been spending hours going over tape from last year and also on future rebels really identify and hone in on specific needs.

Rebounding has been a problem for years, shooting has been poor, tempo on offense is garbage etc.


I still think we can get more length or add another key forward that gets rebounds and plays solid D.

Pastner's G-Tech Offense

I was reading about Pastner's offense at G-Tech. Pastner despite what was labeled the "Princeton Offense" it was not what he was running at G-Tech. It was a 1 in 4 out motion offense and it is very similar to what Sean Miller ran at Arizona and Xavier. CJP even talks about it and it's a fluid motion offense that is run 70-80% of offensive posessions. Also, his teams take advantage of turnovers and run. Here's a short video:

H.S Ball in Louisville - second team all state. Played two years at Illinois State - bench player getting minutes in most games. Transferred to Winthrop - appears he redshirted for medical ( Ankle and Hip ) . Transferred to Texas Rio Grande - breakout year playing well averaging 12 pts 6 rebounds. Up and down three point shooter But average 42% last year. If he continues to play like last year he could be a piece for CJP. At least he's experienced but he'll be up against way more talented players.

OT: Bill would give UNM, NMSU athletics $2.5M each to fund NIL

It's always been a joke what casinos pay in taxes sorry they aren't going anywhere if you boost it. Maybe they should be given a nudge to increase their UNLV athletics generosity or you may see some bills suddenly pop up supporting those tax increases.
And what politician is going to end his or her career on that hill.... it'd be cheaper to get that person voted out of office than donate more to UNLV.

Yes!

Man there are some good posts today on both the “free” boards and this is another one hitting home with a plan to get at the heart of the issue of NIL.

Solutions not endless debates about nothing!

Assuming Hawaii gets done..Then what?

Agreed!

The same folks want to “howl at the wind” about NIL and recruiting too. It is what it is and all of it happens way above anyone’s pay grade on rebelnet!

I think with Harper and the coaches we now have in football and both basketball teams are capable of making do.

UNLV will adapt or die to the environment of NIL, recruiting and conference realignment in college sports, period!
Win games. In what is slowly becoming the most dynamic sports capital market in the country. The rest will follow organically, Every CFB fan East of the Mississippi would drool over an annual away day trip to Vegas.

I think we as taxpayers give up enough to have these professional leagues profit from favorable stadium deals. The casinos reap the bulk of the benefits while paying a relative pittance in gaming revenue taxes compared to other states. If we were to help fund NIL it should expire the second we get into a P5 conference.

New Signing

Former 5 * DE Tunmise Adeleye from TXST via Michigan State via Texas A&M. I saw he had some pretty serious legal issues at TXST and was released by the Bobcats.

He isn't afraid to take a chance on players anyway. Sounds like a good get football wise.

We are the university of second chances, get use to seeing a few guys like this annually in football and basketball, it’s more than likely the only way we get 5 stars into our programs!

For those thinking about travelling to the first game this year

I am going to have to get your recommendations for food out there. What is worth my time? Looking primarily for Texas Steaks and a half decent taco shop.
He would know better than me but I can tell you that the steakhouse we went to B&B Butchers was awesome and relatively reasonably priced for a steakhouse. Not Capital Grille or Ruth Chris prices a notch below but tasted just as good.

Not just for selfish reasons, this is a really smart game. Having a game in Texas, especially the Houston area, can be huge for recruiting. There is so much talent in this area.

Assuming Hawaii gets done..Then what?

It's going to be totally irrelevant and totally different by 2031 and likely way before then. Which is why this screaming at the sky about being in some semi-sorta-not as good G conference instead of the PAC is ridiculous nonsense. I think our AD realizes this, as well.
Exactly. How many growth spurts has this city seen in in the last two decades? Even in the last 5 years, the city continues to grow. I believe by the time we hit 2031, our media market is going to continue to grow in value.

Assuming Hawaii gets done..Then what?

So straight up, you think it was a good thing that we signed the GOR? Because that is my biggest gripe and you contest everything I say ( I kid, kinda)

How in the hell did signing the GOR help UNLV right now?

No I don't think it was wise. I've never said I thought signing it was good.

I've said not shelling out millions of dollars to join the PAC might have been the right call depending on what THE PAC media rights deal comes in at.

Assuming Hawaii gets done..Then what?

say they are worth 10 million a piece right now to make it simple. They have 8 member getting full share currently. 80 mil.

Add a Texas state which I don't think is worth more than 750k right now. Honestly I would be surprised if they are worth 500k. They have had some of the worst viewership than any other program, even if those numbers aren't terrible accurate. They are worth less than most of their current SBC teams that have the same issues.

80.75 Mil / 9 teams= 8.9mill per team.

I think UNLV could be worth as much as 8 mill themselves. I mean we are expected to get about 5 mil as a conference in the MW, with the majority of those teams likely worth less than that individually. So some team has to be pulling up that average. It is UNLV and maybe AFA.

88/9= 9.7 mil per team

There's my math, I even showed my work like a good boy!

That is 800k, nearly a million dollars. if we are worth 10 mil which we could be that is an even mill.

I think easily some teams in the current PAC are worth more than 10. I think the 2 PAC leftovers could be worth as much as 15. Boise is probably over 10 right now.

I think USU is closer to 5, the mean of the old MW.

If current PAC deal is 64 million per year and evenly dispersed.

64 million divided by 8 is an 8 million AAV.

if UNLV is added with a 10 million dollar valuation..

74 million divided by 9 schools now.

8.22 million AAV.

Even at 10 million dollar valuation for UNLV the PAC deal only would bump up 200k by adding them.

That's peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
