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.

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?

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.

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.

This landing seems off to me. I have no proof, but something tells me his agent took him for a ride and promised him P4 opportunity. My guess is that those offers fell through, and by the time he recognized he was being taken for a ride, Unlv recruited over him.

Mullen said players were welcome to look. I imagine that also means do so at your own risk. Mullen doesn’t have to guarantee that he’ll save your seat on the bus.

Conference Play begins

U
So UNLV finishes 6-5 in non-conference play, it looks like UNLV is getting healthy, starting out with 3 softies, i mean Toilet Paper Soft with Fresno this weekend.

If KK cant have this team 9-5 and 3-0 in conference, just fire him right now, this is year 4, the Mack is Funeral Home, avg around 4-4.5k a game depending on tickets sold, you guys in Vegas will most likely tell me they havent had a crowd over 2.5 for one game outside of Memphis.

As i expect, UNLV has no offensive game inside, Cherry getting around what 6 shots a game, Hill is what he is, and that's it, Whaley played 15 minutes the other nigh.

The kid who is gaining more experience is Pape N'Diaye, i believe he had 8 points in 9 minutes, he's athletic and very raw, but he better option than Cottrell.

Looks like the rotation will be:
Cherry
Hill
Thomas
Rishwain
Henley

Bedford
Hicks
Cottrell
N'Diaye

I was just thinking the last time i was excited was when Rice was here in 2015, outside of Thomas, who else would he have recruited on this roster?
