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.He is from Arizona and watched the #2 Wildcats lay in front of a packed house on his visit. Not surprised he choose them.
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.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.
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.The Kruger family knew the Boswell family from back in the days of when Lon was coaching at Illinois.

We are(UNLV) not wanting to put the capital up to win and expecting results.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.
I fully agree, and get them to their junior/senior year without transferring, then give them a young buck 5* to mentor. That is the ultimate formula imho. Mix in a high level transfer portal player here and there. A fan can dream right?lets Start with getting 4 stars first like we did with Lindsay and we can go from there lol
That he did, given that he was the forgotten recruit behind Vaughn, Goodluck and DMorgan (who were all in the top 25)Patrick Macaw (wrong spelling) was a three 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.Patrick McCaw was a 3 star if I remember correctly and outplayed the 5- and 4-star kids we had on Rice's team.
yeah, I just saw that. if you google him pat McCaw rings, come up.I didn't know that Pat was in the G-League.
we won't use it anyway!Someone tell Uncle Findlay to reopen Findlay Prep.
