CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread
- Thread starter XFactorRebel
- Start date
#44 with B1G money is ass. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes over there. I don’t think it will work out too well, tough gig imo.
I have to agree, lots of talent coming in and these guys are hopefully hungry to prove themselves to be looked at in the nfl or get a big bag in the p4. Either way I don’t mind, motivation is good.
Two things, one is that Dan Mullen is such a nationally known guy with real credibility in winning helps with recruits and portal. His words have meaning and isn’t some bullshit. Two, UNLV was on national tv a lot, like almost every week. Even the bye week with the Sluka garbage, unlv was talked about in the morning shows etc. So these guys know they’ll have some exposure.
As far as Colandrea and our other QBs, just remember that O line matters. Bishop Gorman does a pretty good job of making average QBs look amazing because their O line is gigantic, and they know how to play in sync. New O line guy has a lot of work in front of him.
Schools transferred in from = A
Actual production from recruits coming in = D
Mullen and staff have a big developing job. Was hoping for more plug & play guys with actual #s who'd want to seek playing time at a program capable of a playoff spot. Maybe those come in the Spring portal.

Before transferring to UTSA, he was previously at Texas A&M and LSU, but was suspended from both programs for off field issues. Hopefully he got his off field issues figured out.
Every player is different obviously. I'm hoping these retreads from the SEC will come in here with a chip on their shoulder and be motivated. They have all been in big time strength and conditioning program for several years and they have the tools. Some will go balls out and some will not. I'm hoping most of them will have pride in themselves and want to prove what they can do.
This is a good point.
I expect to see some movement in bith directs after spring.
Players will see their pecking order and some will change their minds. In fact I halfway expect one of our new QBs leaves after spring
Interesting...absolute stud at LSU then last year could only get two starts at UTSA? Worth taking a chance on anyway.
I was kind of hoping for more of a mix anyway. But they did get some good high ceiling prospects especially at the WR spot. But would prefer a few more guys that put up some numbers but want more PT.
A lot of these SEC commits remind me of Rayshad Jackson, who we got out of Florida. He definitely stood out with a bigger body than the rest of our guys. He produced as well.
Now we have multiple dudes coming in with SEC and other P-4 size and strength. I think we’re going to be in really good shape come fall.
Did you see the new proposal that they're talking about for the portal? They're talking about doing away with the spring one, and only having the portal open once per year. That would change things and probably make teams and players more selective, knowing that once you commit, it's a lock for the year at least
I don’t know… between graduation, transfers, and high school commitments who backed out we lost a TON. So taking some fliers on some guys is easily worth it imho.
I trust the coach knows what he’s doing.
I wonder how would it work if you're graduating in the spring? Do you announce in the winter and then punch out your degree in the spring to join your new team by summer?
If they move the portal window, it needs to be after bowl season. Maybe only summer portal transfers if they are worried about the academic side.
According to this article, they're talking about a single window from January 2-12.
FBS coaches back single, shorter transfer window
Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) coaches voted unanimously Tuesday in favor of a proposal that would reduce college football's transfer windows down to a single 10-day period in January.
I never get too upset about HS guys that get poached or flipped last minute. Sucks, but you can't really miss what you never had either.
IDK, I’m still kind of pissed about the Devin Lloyd thing.

In conjunction with a shorter and later transfer window, they should really add an extra year of eligibility to all players. Get rid of the graduate transfer rule.
They do these two things, and it gets so much simpler.
UNLV's Dan Mullen on why working in TV was advantageous | Fox News Video
UNLV football head coach Dan Mullen appears on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."
Only played in 5 games this year. Solid contributor the previous two years. ??
Dan Mullen, is giving these guy's with limited playtime at their previous school, a second chance and hopes of more playing time.
Hope it works out.
The great fantasy of all guys is two girls and one guy, you are half way there!

I totally get it. I just try not to get overly worked up about HS prospects. I get more frustrated losing guys in the portal like Camac who have produced vs dudes that never made it to Spring practice.
Camac was a Rebel. Those HS prospects aren’t. Losing good Rebels hurt. Rather than NiL, we should set it up like how Ohtani did with his MLB contract. If you perform well, you get pay on a sliding scale that goes up with a bonus if you punch out your degree(s) on the backend.
I counted that UNLV lost 29 players to the portal. So far, UNLV have signed 27 players from the portals. Just lost Cornellius Williams while signing Tavian McNair. Still 13 on the freshmen signing for 2025.
Noteable defensive players returning are: Marsel McDuffie, Charles Correa
" Offensive : Jet Thomas,
New team, brand new team..
