3* 0.8733 ranked QB recruit! Had offers from Auburn, Tenn, and Louisville. This would make him the number 6 ranked high school recruit all time per 247 for UNLV.
Jayden Maiava first recruit of 2022
- Thread starter Rebel1986
- Start date
As a follow up he is rated 196th in the ESPN top 300 as a 4* recruit and the only recruit listing a none major conference school as a commit.
As an update, he has been moved up to an 0.8867 rating which would make him the 3rd highest rated all time UNLV recruit based on 247 ratings compared to 6th highest before. This would also put him past the BSU recruit as the highest rated for 2022 for the Mountain West conference recruits.
Considering he is listed as 199 out of the ESPN 300 and a 4* recruit, who are the other recent 4* recruits UNLV has recruited out of high school (not transfers), and has UNLV ever had an ESPN 300 recruit before?
His rise up the recruiting charts, as well as his overall talent, are why I'm concerned about him honoring his commitment to us. There will always be a $EC or PAC team that come calling offering his parents a job or some other benefit.
UNLV now has better qb's on roster than any time in recent history. Go Rebs!!
That would really SUCK. If we want our beloved basketball program to be big time again, I'm afraid UNLV football needs to get their act together and start carrying the athletic program, instead of basketball having to do it. Time for UNLV athletics to act like big boys and let the football program pay for everybody else.
I feel like the basketball and football programs are moving in opposite trajectories. Basketball has been stagnant for a whole decade, and football has changed drastically. They have a real, experienced D1 coaching staff that have an actual plan and the culture and general attitude around the program is very positive, plus the recruiting is top notch so far.
There was a lot of bad juju in Sam Boyd and the LAC. The program feels brand new in Allegiant/Fertitta. Won't be surprised if Football is driving the bus for UNLV more than basketball ever did in the next few years.
First the new coach needs to actually win a game before I will comment on the improvement of the program. 0-6 is not a good start!
