DJ Thomas

Alot of there articles are subscription only. But they do make some public. But IMO Hoop Seen is one of the more comprehensive hs player evaluation sites because they don’t just limit their evaluation to the summer. But they follow players and teams not just at major AAU events over the summer but during the hs season at at even minor tournaments ect. I remember Joel Ntwambe was under the radar with Rivals, ESPN and 247. But not with Hoop Seen and I have seen the same with other players. Another example was Jordan Goldwire who was just an unranked 3 Star. He ended up at Duke. Anyway, Hoop Seen now has DJ ranked in their top 10 at No. 9 and the No. 2 pg in the 2024 class.

It's Waddilove!!

Surprise..I'm actually Waddilove! Just kidding...but apparently some people think I really am because he supposedly he stopped tweeting when I started talking about DJ committing on here and then made the move to Twitter lol.

All jokes aside, nothing much is going on in terms of the last scholarship. The staff seems to be moving very patiently right now. Lots of people are still in the portal so no need to panic.

To whoever is running the Sidelines UNLV twitter account

Stop stealing my information/intel/breaking news and posting it as your own. It's very obvious that you frequent this board and take what I say and tweet it; at times verbatim.

I don't mind sharing information at all and I love doing it, but it's very corny for you to tweet like you're getting the information first hand. I know you're not because there are only several people that are present when these things are happening. Just say that you heard or saw that xyz happened or that it will happen.

I've seen your tweets and multiple people have told me that your tweets sound awfully similar to what I say so please stop. Im not saying every single tweet is stolen because you definitely give your own opinions and tweet other stuff but it's very obvious that you see my stuff and tweet it and reply or tweet at people as if it's original.

Also, if you're an "insider," please at least don't blantantly lie. We don't deserve that. No one does and to try to rile up the fanbase by doing that is sad. You said Eric Freeny will be here next year. Did he tell you he committed? Because he isn't committed so where's that info coming from? People can see that stuff and he may lose opportunities because of it. Lying on a kids name to capture engagement is not the way to go.

Some pieces of stolen or made up info include; 1. You said that Vice was visiting and that there was no article on it, but he will be on campus. Again, how'd you know that? Then you said he skipped the visit because of AAU? How did you know that? No one else broke that news except me. 2. You said Jalen Hill was locked in and committed before he went public as if you had first hand knowledge. How did you know that? You either copied it from me or threw something at the wall hoping it would stick. You weren't there when he committed. 3. You said everything starts with the Boone twins. How so? Hill was first transfer that CKK contacted and his commitment was the domino effect. Kalib wasn't even fully locked in and on board at the beginning. 4. You said Cisse was visiting and that no other sources knew. How did you know? You weren't one of the 8 people that were there when the visit was being set up. Another stolen piece of info. That was tweeted shortly after I announced it.

Don't take this as me saying I'm better than you or that you can't tweet. I don't think those things at all. I try to be as civil as possible and try to reply to everyone that tags me or asks me something. I give as much as I can to this board and have had some great conversations with people and love hearing different points of views. Sometimes im wrong and I admit it. Im not perfect.

I understand what you're doing with trying to up the UNLV fan engagement. I get it. This off-season started off terribly and we are now back on the map. I understand the excitement and the desire to engage with other fans, but this ain't it.

Conference Re-alignment


Surprised there is not more discussion about this, it’s getting ready to happen before the end of next month, landscape will change/move fast once it starts; if we get in Big 12, game changer

Rebel Schedule 2023

I know the Rebels play a nice tournament in Florida. We have a return game at Dayton. I believe we play at St. Marys. But I’m hoping Kevin is putting together a home schedule that has some exciting teams. I’d love if they scheduled USC with Bronny James. Lebron would show up and we would draw a big crowd. Also, we should play BYU every year. We draw at the Marriot Center very well and there are tons of Mormans in Las Vegas. A no brainer. Our T & M home schedule is usually full of no name patsies. If we want to be big time, we need a better home schedule. Better teams equal better attendance $$ and a better power rating. Let’s roll…
