CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread
- Thread starter XFactorRebel
- Start date
Hey @Loyal Coug1 how in the world did you guys drop the ball on picking this guy up.
Coming out of high school, 247Sports ranked him as a four-star prospect, the No. 19 linebacker and the No. 170 player in the nation. Lewis also had offers from Ole Miss and Florida State on the table.
Talent wise how area we in comparison to last years team???? Any impact players?? i know some P4 bench players can turn into impact players in the MWC ,but how optimistic should i be as of now??
Ricky White III (bench - Michigan St.) and Jackson Woodard (bench - Arkansas)
Be very excited... the defense is going to be an SEC defense in the MWC. I'm not talking a few guys, based on the signings it'll be almost all guts who played at SEC programs.
The offense will have a bunch of new parts but should also be very good. We got a bunch of big dudes coming in
I hope we get more DL guys in here the two I was hoping for went elsewhere!
Ironically that’s the first year I ever paid attention to NFL was when the Bears won it all.
Some will hit some will miss but I bet enough hit that our defense is conference dominant.
It would be nice to have the DL positions be a hit for once!
We need quicker big guys who can collapse the pocket from the interior of the DL.
That would be like what Boise had this year!

We need pass rushers that will make our DB’s look better. We lost our best one we need to replace him and add to the depth we didn’t really have this year.
For what it's worth, it appears that we have the #1 ranking class in the MW. Not sure how to interpret that.
Whose ranking? It is hard to figure it out because some sights still have the original class including the players that switched to Purdue, others are missing the portal transfers, etc...
We got a starting safety from WVU (from what the socials say). Wow!
That's the # 1 portal class. But our recruiting class dropped to 5th.
Barry intentionally wasted a bunch of UNLV scholly's. We got fckd. That's the kind of stuff that ruins a decent legacy.
Is this the guy?
Former Mountaineer DB Signs with UNLV

I think someone already posted this signing someplace here.

He has been posted already. I’m just mentioning that we pulled a transfer who started at a P4.
He wasn’t here long enough to call it a legacy, won a bunch of games but there’s no bowl or championship trophies at the complex.
I don't understand the criticism. He did more for the Rebels than any other recent coach in a total of two years.
I'm not speaking for Rosegreen. But words should have meaning.
'Legacy' seems a bit much.
Impact..Sure..
Legacy...Seems like needs a little more like a third year and conference title.
I would definitely have no problem talking about Odom's "legacy" especially if UNLV stays winning and he was the turning point in that.
The way CBO left the program and how much he interferes with the UNLV players...love what he have done but no legacy. Coach Mullen nearly replicates the talent loss or improves in every position but two. Cade Chittenden and Fisher Camac. Landen Thomas from ASU might be a good replacement for Camac. Chittenden position is still unfill.
Except Odom had nothing to do with Chittenden leaving. I’d blame USC for that.
How would you/me/we know? Chittenden may have just chosen USC because of the amount of money. Did CBO try to poach him as well but unsuccessful? We just dont know. Unless you definitely have knowledge please tell.
Sure, that’s not the dispute though. The term legacy to me is the dispute, Tark (obviously)has a legacy. Odom, good coach won a lot of games but there’s no bowl game hardware or MWC championship hardware in the complex. To me that’s not a legacy. There has to be consistency of beating top teams. Odom was 2-8 vs top 50 teams.
If CDM makes the CFP semifinals or even the finals, he immediately has a legacy, even if it’s just one year.
Unless CBO show that he tries to get those players that transfer out off UNLV to stay, I feel strongly that the money he spend in recruiting those players should be return to UNLV from his salaries.
Forget about the legacy. He maybe violated a contractual or ethical agreements.

From what I hear, USC actually wanted him out of HS, but they were too deep at that position. They told him he wouldn't get the starting role until his Junior year. Supposedly (and this would be illegal), they approached him before the end of the season and told him they wanted him now.
That is how it is in any business. When you leave a company and find an employee from an old company you want to bring over, you make them an offer. I had an ex boss that was all pissed off because of the money they spent. As of April 2024, the FTC issued a rule effectively banning most non-compete agreements in employment contracts, meaning employers can generally not restrict where someone can work in the future as part of an employment agreement. This also hold to bringing some along with you, and since players are now employees, the same hold for them.
He only came to UNLV because USC said he wouldn’t start until his junior year and UNLV offered him the starter job. USC offered him more than any kicker probably in the country so he left.
Legally, CBO is good. Ethically? Apparently he can live with it. No legacy.
Alex Orji committed just now. Very perplexed by this. Not mad, but very surprised…
I guess it will be a competition like last year as long as he is ok if he loses out I wouldn’t expect a Michigan player to be cool with that.
