I've been told that two great matchups are going to happen. Spoke with multiple people so I think there's real smoke here, but this isn't a confirmation of it happening.

1. A Texas school is coming to T&M
2. Away game at a top WCC team not named Gonzaga (My friend is an alum of the school and said this is being finalized)

If this actually happens, plus what we already have; @Dayton + Sunshine Slam MTE, it would help us tremendously. Not only that, but it would help rile up the fanbase and attract more attention.

I just went onto Twitter and it appears that we are trending. Has something big happened here lately?

Meet me inside the transgender bathroom at the Student Union. Bottom floor..

Is Thomas coming in December so therefore not playing the first part of the season?

Happy Dedan Day! Announcement will be up shortly. I will explain the situation/domino effect as soon as this officially goes public.

It's a great day to be a Rebel! It's going to get very scary this season🤷‍♂️

Maybe not absolute love but MUCH better than we’ve been predicted to finish for many years!

We just get a top local commitment not to mention national commitment and we our front page shows an article from last season STILL. There s a reason I quit paying. This is great news and nothing here to get us excited. Can we at least have a change to the front page to something more relevant? Sorry but this should be more celebratory.

I know I'm excited for next year's basketball. Does anyone have a guess about how this recruiting will increase season tickets? I can see arguments for a small increase ( 5% - 10% with a wait-and-see crowd) or a large increase. (25%+ increase with fans who come back and new fans). I'm too realistic to hope for Tark-like crowds but I'd love to see crowds like we had with CDR. A big crowd makes the experience so much better.

Some OL, DL or DE transfers?

There is another pg in the Thomas family who will also end up a national player. Tyus Thomas who is a freshmen in high school. Potentially, there could be long term stability at the pg if DJ's time at UNLV is successful.

But hearing the push for DTJ has been strong and effective to the point where we do have an actual chance, and as a reclass.

If that does happen, awesome. But it’s putting a ton on the shoulders of a kid with no D1 experience and not only that, he’d miss his senior season of HS. Still, I hope it does happen.

JoJuan Claiborne is now a Rebel. He realized that Vegas > Reno. Great stats in 2021; tallied 62 tackles, including 0.5 for loss, with one interception, one forced fumble and four pass breakups. Missed the 2022 season.

This football team Is going to be special. I would say that Bowling is the goal but I dont expect nothing less. The make up and perceptions is quite fine....Fill these positions in and how they will fair against our opponents

More speed at WR. Slot size.

With the Boone’s and Hill, meaning they are committed in writing or was this weekend just a bunch of hand shakes and wink winks? When are the commitments going to be made public? We see other schools making their recruits known almost immediately, what’s up with Kevin and all the secrecy?

A. Kaluma now available in portal if he doesn't get drafted. Do we even waste time contacting him ?

I got a team back together for AAU this year playing in the 3SGB Gold gauntlet and I will say these kids post covid are stubborn and weak mentally as a whole. It could be due to my age now but God damn these kids are really lazy and while the size and talent seems to be available I don't think any of them are near what writers are professing. One thing I will say for Southern NV is we have more taller kids than ever before at young ages. That being said, the basketball IQ is the worst I can remember with players I have coached. The ability to learn and grasp plays, study the game and understand higher level concepts is difficult for them.

IF we land DTJ, who becomes his backup? Or do we play minutes with guards and not have a point?

At a school with decent resources ….

I would “allow” other schools to get some freshman. I’d want them to get their experience on the floor as a freshman elsewhere instead of working it into my current situation. Mainly because loyalty isn’t a thing anymore, for neither coaches nor players. And I would stay on him while he’s playing as a freshmen elsewhere. Mainly because tampering isn’t a thing anymore (too easy to do and the NCAA doesn’t care).

I’d use some schools as farm systems, let them get whatever benefit that school can get out of a freshman and then I’d take him as a sophomore, with a higher NIL than his previous school, he’d pretty much exhaust his options for leaving after that.

Dirty. Cynical. Ruthless.

It’s what the game has become, unfortunately. If I were a Kentucky, UNC, Duke, UCLA, Michigan, etc … that would be my complete recruiting plan plus one and done type freshman.

Is there any better evaluation of a player than a kid at the highest level he could play in? It dwarfs evaluation of high school kids.

What would you do? Does that sound like a solid recruiting philosophy to you?

Probably the BEST transfer ever since he helps out our kickers!!!

I just saw an ad on the NFL Network during this draft. Highlighted the Stadium and the team and promoted getting season tickets.

This is a step in the right direction!

WR from Arkansas!

When sports betting was illegal outside of Las Vegas and no one anywhere wanted to host sporting events here because of the dangers of sports betting scandals the counter argument to that was it would be easier to catch scandals because the sports books would report it similar to how they uncovered the ASU scandal. Earlier in the week they said on ESPN that the Detroit Lions and other NFL players suspended were all caught because the sports books where they bet reported them. Now Alabama fired their baseball coach for betting. And how did he get caught? Yep the sports book reported it.
