I see them. Did you possibly put him on ignore. I mean I wouldn't blame you.

Firing Rice mid season was a mistake, but if there ever was a time to do it, it is obvious Kruger has quit along with the rest of the team. While they are not going to fire him, I hope they are already actively looking for a coach to replace him! This team may not end up with the worst record, but it is as bad of a team as I have ever seen at UNLV, and it is obvious they no longer care! There are 15 games and a little under two months left in the regular season. Depending how the season ends, there will either be no more games or one more depending on their final record going into the MWC championship playoffs! Is it possible they are trying to get the worst record so they can get the first draft pick? Never mind, this isn't the NBA!

Crazy how Rice got canned after a few close losses, I think like 9 points in three games and here we are at the end of a 4 year experiment with consecutive blowout losses.

Agreed, Lol!

Mullen wants a guy who can run and throw not an either or type of QB!

The WR’s and TE’s he has coming in aren’t here to block downfield! Lol

I think Orji is being brought in just as he was used at Michigan, a "second look" type that can be a spark with his legs. I see this as 1a/1b more than I see it as QB1/QB2.

With a 53% completion or w/e it was, I see them both being used for QB style look changes throughout games.

We'll see come spring!

Yeah maybe but Orji would have to be willing to be our Tebow/Taysom Hill type.

Tebow was not even close to a 4.3 guy… more like a bigger Sluka type as a runner, a real slippery to tackle type of rusher!

So I know absolutely nothing about any of these players, but it seems like CDM is getting a whole bunch of “dudes” who are ready to compete.

I mean, if you were told in November that we were going to lose our coach, a huge graduating class, have a dozen or so players transfer, and lose a majority of your recruiting class… but you’re gonna be ok with it and even, dare I say, a little excited… you’d have been called insane.

Yet here we are.

I’m nervous about the fact that Orji came here. Not a passing quarterback at all… but I also wouldn’t expect him to transfer somewhere he wouldn’t be the starter. Which makes me think Colandrea must not be all that good if Mullen was looking to create this kind of competition in the QB room. This just seems odd to me. If Orji wins the starting job it won’t be an exciting offense via air. Colandrea seemed to fit the mold pretty well, but I didn’t know who he was prior to him committing so I don’t know his game. Lots of interceptions. I’m finding difficulty in feeling confident about our QB situation but I hope I’m wrong.

I wasn't sold on Colandrea to begin with this didn't do much to change that. Hope I'm wrong but to me it appears a small notch below Hajj and Sluka.

All those WR’s didn’t come here to catch balls from Orji. He is an athletic, bruising QB. Will give us options in run situations.

Alex Orji committed just now. Very perplexed by this. Not mad, but very surprised…

I guess it will be a competition like last year as long as he is ok if he loses out I wouldn’t expect a Michigan player to be cool with that.

This Orji guy runs a 4.34 40 yard dash?

If he can get to his 2nd read regularly and sometimes even his 3rd, he might surprise at this level of competition.

Mullen better continue bringing in some athletic beef upfront to protect him or Colandrea!

We need pass rushers that will make our DB’s look better. We lost our best one we need to replace him and add to the depth we didn’t really have this year.

Omg you get it, agreed!

The DL needs to be much improved, so go get some good, athletic and big guys upfront.
Imagine a front four like Boise in front of the recruits he currently has?

Get it done Mullen!
