H.S Ball in Louisville - second team all state. Played two years at Illinois State - bench player getting minutes in most games. Transferred to Winthrop - appears he redshirted for medical ( Ankle and Hip ) . Transferred to Texas Rio Grande - breakout year playing well averaging 12 pts 6 rebounds. Up and down three point shooter But average 42% last year. If he continues to play like last year he could be a piece for CJP. At least he's experienced but he'll be up against way more talented players.

I think this is overrated!

Remember Drake had 4 or 5 D2 players and the step up in competition didn’t bother them too much!

Sorry but look at his tape, he’s a well rounded PG with excellent size. Not afraid to go get rebounds either. He’s not going to get bullied on the court in conference play either.

If I’m building a team from scratch, that’s the type of point guard I’d get. Exactly the type of point guard.

Clearly CJP has been spending hours going over tape from last year and also on future rebels really identify and hone in on specific needs.

Rebounding has been a problem for years, shooting has been poor, tempo on offense is garbage etc.


I still think we can get more length or add another key forward that gets rebounds and plays solid D.

Josh has an actual offense, what a concept!

It's always been a joke what casinos pay in taxes sorry they aren't going anywhere if you boost it. Maybe they should be given a nudge to increase their UNLV athletics generosity or you may see some bills suddenly pop up supporting those tax increases.

And what politician is going to end his or her career on that hill.... it'd be cheaper to get that person voted out of office than donate more to UNLV.

Excellent pickup, big upgrade from DJT.

Volume 3pt shooter... 42% is pretty good

Yes!

Man there are some good posts today on both the “free” boards and this is another one hitting home with a plan to get at the heart of the issue of NIL.

Solutions not endless debates about nothing!

Agreed!

The same folks want to “howl at the wind” about NIL and recruiting too. It is what it is and all of it happens way above anyone’s pay grade on rebelnet!

I think with Harper and the coaches we now have in football and both basketball teams are capable of making do.

UNLV will adapt or die to the environment of NIL, recruiting and conference realignment in college sports, period!

I think we as taxpayers give up enough to have these professional leagues profit from favorable stadium deals. The casinos reap the bulk of the benefits while paying a relative pittance in gaming revenue taxes compared to other states. If we were to help fund NIL it should expire the second we get into a P5 conference.

We are the university of second chances, get use to seeing a few guys like this annually in football and basketball, it’s more than likely the only way we get 5 stars into our programs!

He would know better than me but I can tell you that the steakhouse we went to B&B Butchers was awesome and relatively reasonably priced for a steakhouse. Not Capital Grille or Ruth Chris prices a notch below but tasted just as good.

Not just for selfish reasons, this is a really smart game. Having a game in Texas, especially the Houston area, can be huge for recruiting. There is so much talent in this area.

It's going to be totally irrelevant and totally different by 2031 and likely way before then. Which is why this screaming at the sky about being in some semi-sorta-not as good G conference instead of the PAC is ridiculous nonsense. I think our AD realizes this, as well.

Click to expand...

Exactly. How many growth spurts has this city seen in in the last two decades? Even in the last 5 years, the city continues to grow. I believe by the time we hit 2031, our media market is going to continue to grow in value.

So straight up, you think it was a good thing that we signed the GOR? Because that is my biggest gripe and you contest everything I say ( I kid, kinda)

How in the hell did signing the GOR help UNLV right now?

Click to expand...

No I don't think it was wise. I've never said I thought signing it was good.

I've said not shelling out millions of dollars to join the PAC might have been the right call depending on what THE PAC media rights deal comes in at.
