I see it this way. Right now UNLV is going have recruit for one of the final roster spots at the 2 based on talent and potential. I am fine with that just based on history with top 150 3-4 star freshman transfers from P5 schools. Also, I will add Bryce Hamilton to the discussion along with Tre’Von Willis, Chase Stanbeck and Mike Moser. For example Moser jumped from .06 ppg as a freshman at UCLA to 14 ppg as a UNLV sophomore. Bring in Cooper from Oklahoma and let him battle it out with Hick’s. If they both step it up UNLV will have a dynamic back court along with DJ. I would rather take that shot than bringing in another David Jenkins.

In 4 years of playing substantial minutes in college basketball, Odom is 16-66 behind the arc. That’s 24%.

Last season at Georgia State, Odom shot 42% 3pt, the guy improved that's what you should be looking for in a player. He also improved his scoring shooting over 52%FG inside the arc and its obvious he became a more selective shooter give me that all day. He is head and shoulders a better player than Taylor on any court. If your point was to emphasize Odoms poor 3pt shooting in previous years you should also look at how well his FG% improved {over 54%} in the Big East when he played 20mins a game for Xavier. I heard thats a decent Conference.

Regardless my intention was not to knock anyone specifically but to point out there are some solid players still in the portal who can help this team.

Maiava wasn't a perfect fit for this offense, but he was pretty good. Marion talks how he can mold this offense to nearly any style of QB, but given how much the option plays into the run game, a more proficient runner definitely opens the playbook a bit more.

But the vertical passing game is a staple of the the Go Go. Maiava was pretty good at pushing the ball downfield, even if he was a little too aggressive at times.

Would Maiava beat out our newcomers? Hard to say. We don't sign them, at least not both of them if he stuck around. So kinda a weird hypothetical.

Sorry to knock a kid before he's even stepped on the floor but I really hope he's not referring to Taylor, below average shooter and poor defender. Statistically negative OBPR and DBPR, a very bad combination. Look at his game log shooting percentages alot of 5/19, 6/20, 5/15. These are versus weaker conference opponents wont get better in the MWC. If we're pilfering Georgia State much rather grab another kid from the portal, Dwon Odom, also a PG but would fit nicely along side DTJ. Shoots 52%fg and 42% 3pt, those numbers are impressive for a guard.

In other news Jayden Maiava is #2 on USC's depth chart behind a Junior. Dont know if he would've started here this year but he might be waiting 2 more years there. Nice pile of cash probably made it an easy decision. Might start here for $ or might start over there for $$$$$$$

2 year's ago, UNLV would have been extremely happy to get her.
Now, after 3 consecutive NCAA Tournament's, we are recruiting better more talented players.
To, fit our needs.
