Since last night 2nd half disaster, I just finished work and after thinking about UNLV and this year team, I thought what if.

Tark stays and the mother of all fill in the blank, allows Tark to have a top 5 program, how many more years and NCAA does UNLV win, does Grg take over and continue the success, and UNLV has another 30 years of success like Gonzaga now is going on what 20 without the title?

What if Rice doesn't get fired, doesn't look over his shoulder and lets kids play, team gets hot and makes the NCAA and goes on sweet 16th run, and he's still here with all the top talent as he learns on the job, to me UNLV would be a top 10 program, I really do, granted I do have blinders on, just hoping UNLV will be good again, but that team had talent, no way they should have been that bad, dammmmm

For some of you, I say most of you never seen how good UNLV really was, UCLA was scared to play UNLV, Arizona and UNLV had such a great rivalry national tv every year, and and over 20k for the Navy game and David Robinson at the Mack, UNLV was Duke of basketball and boom it's over with.

Now I think, what's UNLV ceiling with KK, are we basically maybe a top 5 MWC program and maybe once in awhile make the NCAA, and maybe for once win the MWC Season and Tourney?

Am I dreaming, maybe UNLV doesn't win darn thing for another 20 years, the administration just doesn't get it, or just maybe UNLV gets into the PAC or Big 12 and becomes big in football and hoops????

Just my rant of UNLV hoops, just hoping one day were actually a top 20 team?

Watching tonight game, Boise talent is limited, but they pass and can shoot.
With Parquet out you see how Webster and McCabe are wrak on defensive side.

Lack of shooting and everything UNLV is one on one

Front court scoring is just horrible, lack of recruiting if your recruiting defense you can't have 2 guards who can't guard in Webster/McCabe, playing doesn't have scoring or front court to compensate for it.

Just horrible loss tonight. To give up 50+ in 2nd half is inexcusable. This team is what it is, not good enough when they don't bring it on both sides.

Can they finish top 5. I guess, but shortcoming of this team is getting exposed in conference, 0 for 2 at home.

I don't worry about NCAA because it's not happening, Boise put beat down on us, that's all on staff, you can't tell me they are that much better talent level.

One thing I can say KK is not AD coach, the recruiting has to get better next yr, just being middle MWC team won't do it.
1am I stayed up for this garbage.

I am watching the Reno vs Utah State on Fox Sports 1. Do we have some sort of a deal with Fox now? It’s always been CBS for MWC games.

Big game tonight. Talk about it!

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs has a brother looking to transfer in from JUCO. His D1 offers are from UAB, Texas ST, Teledo and Arkansas ST. The question will be if we have a spot for him as we begin to bring in more recruits to close out this class.

Everyones villain. Does he still do UNLV games? Honestly haven’t heard his name in a long time.

I was sitting in the brewery at the bottom of my building watching the Zags v byu, I walked back into my building and my doorman asked how are you feeling (good since you asked) I saw you in the brewery. I said yeah having some beers watching Zags game. He said probably a guy that lives in the building doing the game, I saw him leave and he said he’d begone a few days doing 3 games.

So I asked what is his name, he said Hall, I said Dave Hall and he said yep.

So apparently Dave Hall is my neighbor. We have a couple of Padres here too, but I feel like Hall is the guy I need to know the most. I have questions.

Did anyone else get chills when they saw Keshon Gilbert pull off one of the iconic Larry Johnson plays from the 1990 national championship game?

Fast forward to 1:37 of these highlights to see it

A win here would be a great leg up on the rest of the season.

Rebs 73
Boise 70

Net ranking wise, Boise ranked higher than UNLV. We might lose tomorrow . We'll see.

To dislike Leon Rice. I just don't like him. Not sure why and it had nothing to do with his coaching style or his record. I just genuinely dislike him and I feel guilty for it.

6'4" 270lb - Can play center and guard.

Getting beat down in 1st half, another guard heavy team.

Throw NET garbage away, they aren't anywhere close to top 64 team

8:00 CBSSN

Quarterbacks in transfer portal as reported by athlon sports.

If it were held today SDSU, USU, NEV, and Boise all get in. The rest are on the outside. Interestingly, the win against NM raised our NET by 2 places and dropped them by 4 places. Too early for predictions or deciding must-win games except for the teams below us are pretty much must-win for us at home and away. ( this is because those losses would drop us more than a win gets us back) If we drop into the 60s (two losses without an intervening win) it would be really difficult to get back to the mid-forties where a team needs to be for selection.

NET

SDSU - 24
USU - 26
NEV - 29
BSU - 35
NM - 50
Rebs - 53
C State - 108
SJS - 113
AF 166
WY - 202

How come he gets a free pass on the weak schedule he put together? This board was all over Marvin Menzies for playing weak schedules. In my opinion Kruger so far has been the worst recruiting head coach in UNLV history. He brings in nothing but transfers and the majority of those are not that highly ranked, thought of, and one dimensional. Additionally, because of this philosophy we have a new team each year. His solution to lack of recruiting is to play a weak schedule and get 20 wins. Recruiting really needs to pick up.

So he pulled a Bird and left for Texas AM.

LB transfer from Arkansas

Moving in the right direction.

CBS RPI 1/8

Four MWC in top 22.
UNM falls to #47.

Our losses are to #11, #67, and #144.

Sidebar: WTF is up with the Dons? Their December is a head-scratcher. On one hand they beat us, crushed #25 ASU by 37, and lost by 2 to #9 Zags. Also, they lost at home to UT Arlington, then got drubbed by both Santa Clara and USD.

Did you all see the Keshon Gilbert move that was similar to Larry Johnson's iconic play in the 1990 national championship game? It gave me chills! The play began with about 17:40 left in the second half.

In this video it was about the 1:37 mark. Let me know what you think.
