400 recruits at Wyoming game???
- Thread starter Rebel_Luv
- Start date
I think that's probably recruits + families--but that's STILL a ton of people. Even if every recruit came with Mom, Dad, and 2 siblings that means that we had 80 there.
The SW corner along the endzone on the UNLV side of the field was full of high school players. They were all watching the warm-up intently.
It almost has to include family comps for players as well. That's the only way I can get the math to work out.
I sit in 113. 112 is where all the players’ families and recruits and their families sit. It was packed. As soon as the last whistle rang out a huge parade of recruits were led onto the field to get in on the excitement. Really smart move.
Usually, the recruits are there. The game ends and they just leave. Coaches are too busy with lockerroom and pressers to meet with the recruits. Last night they went right onto the field into the mix with the excitement/hugs/handshakes. It’s almost like Odom knows how to run a program

Announced attendance/crowd? Anyone know? Does Odom have incentives baked into his contract for hitting certain attendance averages?
ESPN box scores shows something around 25,568. Slowly encroaching on the full lower bowl. 90%ish? Maybe it was more like 85?
From what I understand they invite a ton of local HS players, not all actually recruits. Also they should have been doing something like $5-$10 tix all year to fill things out a bit more. The increased concession sales from those people would balance out the lower ticket prices. Plus it creates new fans who may/will come again.
I agree just get them in the door and a few will come again.
How was attendance last night? Hoping people come out to support this team they deserve it.
I gotta say, between being at the game and watching the recording of the TV copy, I was really unimpressed with how the crowd sounded on tv.
Seemed much louder in the building though.

Not bad would like to see them at 35k though consistently that would be a good number for them.
I do wonder what the threshold is for when theybwill begin selling unlv fb tickets above the 100-level. Cant break 30k on the lowest level alone
Still need the next level of Allegiant to be open to break 30k- didn't mean the number of bodies, meant the places to put 'em
This is correct. That tweet is very exaggerated. Almost none of those high school players in that pool will be a Rebel unless they walk on.
Of course some local commits come to the games but they obviously aren't who I'm talking about.
I dont want to affect the Knights or Raiders in anyway. Vegas is big enough to support these teams but damn, as much as I like Hockey and the NFL, UNLV football being nationally relevant is the earmark to Vegas many histories.
One question fellas, who the hell is that raspy voice announcer for the game last night. That guy annoyed me.
Still smart as sh!t for UNLV to do this.....
That’s what I was trying to say. Every game my son goes to in basketball he’s on an unofficial. KK should be be twerking about all the recruits who are in attendance
KK better be twerking about find a winning record in the OOC game rather than some bullshit marketing. That POS first game showing is not acceptable. I am done.
I hope you were being sarcastic or joking because thats not how it works in regards to unofficials lol
I was being sarcastic and joking. Do you NOT know who I am?!?! 😂
In the area where we sat there were a few dozen younger players at the game. I expect they are trying to get as many of these kids to the games all the way from pop warner to seniors in high school. I also expect they are busy recruiting players in the transfer pool. Could you imagine how good UNLV could be if they picked up Eric McAlister and had a 1-2 punch with him and Ricky White III?
