Depressing

His last recruiting class was zero effort because he knew he had an upcoming landing spot where he wanted to be. Collect some decent coin and move on.
just couldn’t land a difference maker, some thought that was nick blake or Reece Brown. The class itself was rated around the top 50. I thought Tillis was a bum but he actually could contribute and understood the offense.

I think it was always going to be Iowa State in terms of pursuing a dream job and even DRF tried to keep him with an extension instead of just taking the buyout. DRF was the one with zero effort.

The mid season firing, I felt at the time we’d pay long term. There was going to be damage, collateral damage. And I figured it’d be a couple seasons sacrificed. Then the debacle hiring that finished with one of the worst possible hire imaginable, Menzies. Three wasted years, zero joy/pride. Then Otz for a couple of years. Bad basketball, zero joy/pride, guy was using the school. Then KK. It’s appearing like 4 straight years of fruitless, bland, hard to watch hoops. This program was massacred.
Otz was a good hire actually in terms of hiring someone that knows CBB, I didn’t understand his last recruiting class but he can actually coach the game. I think if he had the new portal rules, it would be a different story.

The issue I have is the fact that DRF used the buyout from Iowa State on a green assistant coach with only a couple years of experience and surrounded him with a lot of coaching experience, guys that knew more than CKK. There’s a reason why his first staff all bolted. I actually felt like Hartman was more HC material than CKK ever was and had all the qualities a HC needs.

72-73 YR basketball

I remember my 1st 2 games at convention ctr beating Duke and Arizona in holiday classic. I remember around 4600 or something like that.
Why am I bringing this up, that was 52 yrs ago, I believe the program is worse now when vegas had 250k in valley compared to what 2 million?
If Harper will make the move and get a top notch coach like Odom hire, a quick turnaround within 2 yrs can be achieved. With football and basketball winning, drawing means millions, you can't tell me vegas doesn't have 7 million a yr for both coaches?
Maybe I been hit too many times in the head, am I just dreaming why both programs can't be top 30 every yr?

I hope UNLV puts 60 tomorrow night on Reno Turds.
