So guard Isaac Lindsay a guard from Mineral point , Wisconsin has committed to UNLV for the 2020 class according to verbal commits. Didn't see this coming. Anyone have any info and is he gonna take a scholarship spot that could've gone to a more talented player?
Issac Lindsey commits.
- Thread starter Buffel
- Start date
Menzies' staff (Rob Jeter) offered Isaac Lindsey a year and a half ago. Jeter had also recruited Lindsey when he was head coach at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Lindsey had a lot of smaller school offers, also one Big East (Depaul) and one Ivy League (Brown) which usually gets a lot of consideration from parents, because the player would be getting an education that would cost a couple hundred thousand dollars.
The recruiting sites are poor for players until they get a "third star".
Great start to my Christmas Day as I received an offer from Coach Menzies, Coach Jeter, and the coaching staff at UNLV ! #runninrebels

TJ is all in on a number of 2020 recruits. My concern is that we may not have enough scholorships if some of the other higher rates players want to commit. Am I wrong?
I think Otz is starting to recruit over the end of the bench players like Green & Coleman. Trying to upgrade the overall talent of the team.
If they don't play defense it's all moot. We're not going to be much better without defense.
Yes
Actually the football team has been able to score plenty so I can't knock their offense when Rogers is healthy.

When he was hired this spring, the local media did like to comment that TJO's defense at S Dakota St was not good. That was true, but they forgot to mention that S Dakota St's defensive efficiency numbers were improving each year under TJO and in year 2 for Menzies and TJO both UNLV and SDSU were around 180th nationally and in year 3 UNLV stayed around 180th but SDSU improved to around 140th. Yes, still bad but at least trending to better.
With an up tempo system, points allowed will typically be higher and not necessarily the best indicator of the quality of defense a team plays. Some of Tark's teams in the late 70's gave up close to 90 ppg. On the other hand, a stall ball system like Bo Ryan's would make him look like a defensive guru which really wasn't the case either. Too lazy to look now but I'd be more interested in seeing SDSU's opponent's FG%, rebounding margins, turnovers forced, etc.
True but if we can play offense it’s a good start. When was the last time we had a good offense? If we ever have a good offense it would certainly make the team a lot more fun to watch.
If we can have a good offense and actually win it might even fill up some seats so we could have an actual home court advantage.
Defensive Efficiency is pace independent and is based on points per 100 possessions adjusted for pace. So that stats provided previously in the thread consider that and show the defense was improving not just smoke and mirrors. However, 140 is still poor but as the poster said trending in the right direction. There is something to be said for live ball TO% as they typically lead to points.
I think we see them trying to get a bunch of shooters and to surround a few quality big men with an athletic wing. In some ways, shooters are the hardest thing to find, imo. I just hope the shooters are athletic enough to play D1 defense.
