Lost another 1. Need to get over that hump! Keep on losing out . Making alot of final list.
 
He is from Arizona and watched the #2 Wildcats lay in front of a packed house on his visit. Not surprised he choose them.

I wonder if $ had anything to do with it? Your stating the obvious. We had a mountain to climb. Arizona had a curb. Never have i seen us in so many battles for elites where we make the final list and we cant get 1 to sign. I also wonder how much $ they are getting is it that significant?? There should be GOFUND me pages to sign these players.
 
We just need to stop getting aroused by potential 5* recruits.

First, It's just not going to happen.

2nd, if the Lord lays his hands down on us and we do get a 5* he'll be gone in a year.

3rd. They will be prima donnas and hard to handle. Just like the prettiest girl at the dance who knows she is the prettiest.

These kids just want a free trip to Vegas. They are ALL playing us.

It's better to recruit 3* and the occasional 4* who actually may come here, want playing time, and will fit in with the other players.

The Kruger family knew the Boswell family from back in the days of when Lon was coaching at Illinois. Kevin didn't recruit him because he is strictly a 5 star player. They had a relationship going back years. Also, saying that you should stop recruiting any players above a 3 star is idiotic. Just because Dave Rice couldn't control his 4 and 5 star recruits doesn't mean that is how things will turn out for the other coaches that do land the higher rated players.

So then he didn't play us. He did us a solid and sniffed around us a little. Just like my dog does to a fire hydrant before he takes a big leak on it.

He was never coming here and 5* never will unless they are local and want to play in from of family or somebody drives up a brinks truck for an NIL deal.

It's just not in their interest. They want to showcase their skills. They justifiably want to play in front of a large TV audience every game, a full crowd and they want a near guarantee to the dance every year. We are talking millions of potential dollars on the line for their pro career.

We are(UNLV) not wanting to put the capital up to win and expecting results.
 
Didn't someone in the other thread predict AZ? Hey, even mentions have it's value at the present moment imho. Even if we don't land them...yet, we need to keep the UNLV name in the hat and on their twitter feeds. It helps generate reborn exposure, and also can help in landing some 4* high level multi-year players, and eventual border 5*. I'm NOT saying we NEED 5*'s, but a 5 every year or two wont hurt. The last best run we had in years was the LK/DR mix squads before it was all 5* self indulged entitled prima-donas.

If Kruger can get UNLV to the MWC tournament final, or even win the tournament, that will be huge in showing the recruits that Kruger is turning the program around! If the recruits see attendance improving and UNLV winning, they will come.
 
Patrick McCaw was a 3 star if I remember correctly and outplayed the 5- and 4-star kids we had on Rice's team.
It happens sometimes. Wish it happened more often.

I really didn’t give Pat a second thought on paper.

First summer work, I was really impressed. A couple days of summer work, it became obvious he was going to be an impact freshman. He just had something about him. It didn’t scream “special” … but he was at D1 speed and D1 thinking, just beyond his years.

Early in the season, I think everyone saw it.
