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!

You lost your mind about 'UNLV missing out on Malachi Nelson' for a bunch of 'FCS guys'. UNLV ends up with a chance at the CFP, while Malachi will be on to his third team in three years and was visiting UTEP of all places.

So pot kettle black and all that when calling out people for not trusting coach evaluations.

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

Please take that with the humor that’s intended.

That's not entirely accurate... Sluka beat Hajj out after basically 3 weeks in camp. Hajj was here all Spring and summer. The fact that Sluka struggled with his passing in 2 road games vs Big 12 defenses is an aberration and because he walked away we will always have a jaded view and never got to see him get into real rhythm. There was certainly a talent gap and we got the most out of Hajj we could've expected but his struggles vs Boise and Cal show why he got beat by a guy with 3 weeks of practice... again, our judgement on the matter is skewed because Sluka quit.

We may dislike him more because of it but it doesn’t make his passing better. I saw him play last year and said when he came that he could run but was an inaccurate passer and missed guys too many times for my comfort and we didn’t see anything to change that perception.

If it was that boneheaded a move, and the agent was the reason, it is another step towards me wondering why more players haven't started to sue the agents?

Just a theory but I can definitely see it play out that way.

He tests portal. Options aren't as great as he thinks in the meantime UNLV brings in another runningback now he has to weigh where his best opportunity is for playing time.

Oh there are definitely going to be some of these agents/handlers getting into trouble sooner or later.

He very well may have just wanted to leave Vegas. Lots of guys leave their home towns want to get out experience something new.

I have no issue with guys leaving. Just hope they are getting good direction when they do.

Yep he goes out. Tests the waters at the behest of an agent. Schools he said might be interested don't offer much if anything in NIL, UNLV signs RB from Utah plus Jet returning. Running back room getting full Texas State says we have room and you have a good shot at starting. Maybe a little NIL on top.. Agent says put a good year on tape bigger offers will come and back to the portal he will go..Agent still gets a little cut regardless of how small. With a chance for more again next year.

Ehh, I think we saw enough from Sluka to know that he was a poor passing QB, but a great running QB.

With Hajj, he was an average passing QB, and an above average running QB. This combo served our team better, simply because we had Ricky White and needed to get him the ball.

I also think he can run when needed and while that may not be an RPO run first guy, I think he is the type that can create passing with his legs on roll outs and moving the picket type plays.

He may not be “the” guy as far as portal rankings go but I think he was at least very high on Mullins list of guys to get!

He's a tiny QB. If he keeps running like he does he's going to get his head handed to him sooner than later.
