I hear Odom has been out doing a lot of recruiting. He hasn’t been at school much. When I get more info about him. I will let you guys know.

My guess is that it’s a big O-lineman. I don’t have any information about it so don’t be mad if it’s a kicker… which we should all value!

I’m glad Bayno is working as an assistant coach with the Pistons. He took the death of his father pretty bad. I’m glad he’s back on his feet working. Now Dave has to get a job.

Our 1st SEC lineman. Oh this coaching staff is the real deal. LFG!!!

Hey there fans, I haven't been on the site in many months. I actually forgot I was paying for this but this season has been interesting to say the least. Going from 1 loss short of undefeated in non conference to falling apart and losing basically every game in the conference.
Here are my thoughts that are probably similar to many others:

1) Our offense is shitty. It requires too much iso creative play that we literally have zero structure to hold the team together in key times. Now watching basketball in college there is more of this free lance style with a ball screen motion being the go-to system of play. We don't have great sets when we need a bucket and we depend far too much on 3's.

2) our transition offense is average at best. We don't get out to run like past teams did. I have been rewatching the 90 and 91 team on youtube and its amazing how well the pushed the ball on makes.

3) Defense was great before however now its just lousy and we have bad help side rotations on drives. We take risks like we have a great rim protector but we don't. The 3 point shot has ruined basketball to a degree though. Its far too much of a focus lately and it drives me nuts.

4) Kevin..... what can I say. I love the guy but he isn't doing great lately. Coaching wins games based on what you did the previous days in practice and the system you run. Once the game begins its all adjustments, lineups, and using timeouts. I just don't think the team is responding to him as of late. Gilbert is a handful and he is giving him too much leash at times just like other players.

We are a terrible passing team I think. How many times do we successfully hit the big on a ball screen play? Roller gets it or we hit him for a post up, anything like that. Our guards are so predictable on the ball screen usage rates. They never pass it and are always looking for their own shots. I was talking with a juco coach buddy of mine who was in Vegas a few months ago and we discussed recruiting. He said, "I look for willing passers with good IQ." He explained that a bit and I realize that is rare in Las Vegas on HS teams in general. We don't have great passers. Dedon Jr is solid but in general at UNLV we have not had great guys like the old ones.

BTW, I watched the tarkanian classic and some kids that caught my attention were Sebastian Mack (currently at Coronado) and Lolo Rudolph from St. Augustine in san diego. Mack is a great athlete and competitor. I would take him over Dedon honestly. He is oozing with ability. Dedon is probably a better true PG but if you want a game changer than get mack. Lolo is a kid under the radar of sorts who looked really good versus Gorman. He is a stellar PG who defends well.

It never fails. Whether he sends the initial text or I do … it’s been downhill after that point. This time, though, my buddy is responsible.

Fired after 9 seasons at SDSU. I’m not sure if the staff is set, but this is a guy UNLV needs in its program.

Boda covers Coastal OV; expected to take OVs to UNLV and USF before NSD.

Coach Odom followed this kid on Twitter. My question is what are they feeding these kids lately. No one looked like this when I was in High school. Lol

UNLV Lready lost to 2 of the worst MWC, San Jose st and CSU.

The bottom 6 not in any order.
UNLV
Air Force
Wyoming
Fresno St
CSU
San Jose St

Are we looking at 5 or 6 win conference season?

I am thinking 8th or 9th place this year.

Anyone have any confidence UNLV can turn it around?
If so why?

Me defense is horrible, Before Parquet injury McCabe basically played 6 min, with him Webster are horrible, dribble penatration move ball open 3 or on switch big scores on are guards.

I haven't felt this bad since Marvelous one, someone give me some positive vibes why I am wrong?

1,800 yards and 16 TD's.

If UNLV does not win the Mountain West tournament, what do you think they need to do in order to make the NIT?

Would getting to 20 wins get the job done? I saw them currently at an 8 seed in one projection.

This is arguably worse than when Rice got fired.

It says a lot that he is all in for UNLV! Login to view embedded media

At USU and Fresno, I could see complete collapse.

I have feeling kruger way over his head, he makes no adjustments at all in game, no plays nothing, UNM up 10 at aztecs, how did UNLV win?

I feel like it's marvelous coaching team

I need to calm down, tuesday night at Utah State, could get ugly.

1. The Cyclone Bomb. Is Vegas expect to feels its effect?
2. New Year's drones show: Amazing
3. China set to open up their border for Chinese citizens to travel to other countries this Sunday. I expect it already happening. Be very careful people. White Lungs disease. Might be a new variant.
4. Putin called a Time Out because his army is getting their teeth kicked in on a daily basis. How about about just "Get out off Ukraine"?

We keep Kruger or will he get patched to a bigger school?

Eric “Sith Lord” Harper has got to be wondering what Is going on..

I listened to the Cofield and Herring podcast from a couple of days ago and one of the things they mentioned was how kickoff and punt return units weren’t good at returning the ball.

We hired the guy from V Tech who is supposed to be really good so now I’m excited to see what we can do. I don’t think that we’ve had a kickoff or punt return for a Touchdown for as far back as I can remember. Hopefully, that changes next season. I want those units to run to the slot machine after “6”!

In CSU's 4 losses they averaged 7 made three's. In their 2 wins they averaged 14 made threes.

Our "D" was incapable of limiting those three's.

It was clear - just by looking at their box scores - that if you limit their outside shooting you win.

I don't get how we couldn't get it done and teams like AF could. (AF limited them to 3 made three's in their win AT FT. COLLINS).

Same thing in the Boise Beat Down. Boise lost to South Dakota State in their opener. ( South Dakota State is currently 9-9 and 4th Summit League) South Dakota held them to 3 made three's and won by 2 points. We gave up 14 three's. Just look at the box scores and it's totally clear that to beat Boise you need to limit their three's.

Something is severely wrong with our perimeter defense. Until it's fixed we'll continue to lose to teams that can shoot.

Damn..this is a tough one. There’s NFL and college basketball going on!!

It’s also a double header as I will be supporting the ladies basketball team as well.

Okay, Colorado State doesn’t have the fattie that was drafted last year who gave us problems.

I expect us to win smoothly..BUT, this is Kevin Kruger team 2023. And we have a shit load of problems.

Will we see Kevin Kruger go back to high school and use a 2-3 zone? I doubt it. Maybe, it depends if they actually practice for it.

At this point, we are fighting for the CBI.

I see Kruger using more Nowell, Carl Jones and hot plate hall.

Maybe Hot plate hall is having trouble adjusting to division 1. It happens. I’m rooting for the guy. Regardless. He’s just a young kid.

What do you guys see and predict?

I love being proven wrong but rebels finish in a tough and easy one if and when Kruger plays more people.

Rebels 70- The Lambs 60
