One more commitment, she comes from the JUCO ranks.
She, was a 2nd Team JUCO All-American.

5'11" Forward from Sandy, UT. Her dream was to play at a 4 year college so now she has her chance.
Good for her.
Still, need a PG and a power foward/center.
I was just going to say the same thing, they need someone 6’6” and still me taller wings!
Don't understand the fascination of getting 3 players at 5' 11", from the portal.
We, have 1 PG in our entire roster and her name is Teagan Colvin. Yikes.

Teagan needs a lot of development, and I'm trying to be nice here. Hopefully, the coaching staff is listening and finds us a PG. And, absolutely agree on the height issue. Maybe, we just don't have the nil for it. I don't know.
This is the girl from Vegas who was shot several times at a house party after she committed to USC. I don’t blame her for not wanting to come back home. Parents probably want her to stay away from Vegas also.

I saw we hired Joslyn Tinkle as Assistant Coach. Burris got the HC job at Portland State so gave us that opening. I hope Joslyn works out. She played with Lindy at Stanford. Also, Tinkle's dad is the HC at Oregon State so she has been around basketball probably her whole life. I like the hire. She has WNBA and overseas experience and has bounced around as an assistant coach. Welcome to Las Vegas.

I wonder if she is the big man's coach. Coaching the front court, like Karlie Burris did.I saw we hired Joslyn Tinkle as Assistant Coach.

Hopefully, she is a good recruiter. UNLV needs talented big's and talented forwards.
What surprised me about Burris is that the Portland State hire announcement was giving her credit for recruiting Colvin. If that is true then I'll drop the mic and leave it there. I hadn't heard that before.
Yes, Karlie Burris would make frequent trips to Coeur d'Alene, ID to see Teagan Colvin play.
Burris was the main recruiter for her. Even though, she was a guard and Burris tended to recruit bigs.

Seem to remember hearing that there was interest in Teagan’s sister as well which might have been a part of the recruitment.
Yes, her name is Brookeslee Colvin. Another PG who plays for the same HS as Teagan.
She, has tons of offers from P4 colleges. Iowa, Michigan, West Virginia and Colorado to name a few.
IMO, I think she is the more talented basketball player out of the 2.
Hope, she can play with her sister at UNLV.

Hm. Maybe I read it here first from you? Who knows, I'm old.
Lady Rebs sign 6'3" Destiny Brown (CSN -> Alcorn St. -> UNLV).

Still hoping for a PG.

She's not really a PG and she's short 5' 5" tall.
Don't really, know how I feel on this pick-up if true.
Kind of disappointed, UNLV struck out on getting a P5 player from the transfer portal.

Complete career NCAAW stats for the San José State Spartans Guard Sydni Summers on ESPN. Includes points, rebounds, and assists.
6' 3" - 6' 4" height, is pretty good for mid-major programs.
I'll, be happy if the Lady Rebels can get that kind of height.
Destiny Leo > Sydni Summers
Destiny is an almost 2,000 point scorer! She, came back from an injury this year and only averaged 11.3 points per game.
It, takes time to come back from an injury. I, really hope we get Leo. She's, deadly from the 3 point line.
She, played at the Horizon League. Same league, as former UNLV player Nneka Obiazor played.

UNLV, needs a higher NIL. To, compete with those 2 programs.
Outstanding, get for the Lady Rebels! Good job, on the info Rebels_88.
Still looking. Last year, UNLV had 3 PG's.
Right now, only 1.
My (uneducated) guess is that they will roll with Aaliyah Alexander, Teagan and, if the signing comes to fruition, Sydni Summers from SJSU. They have had a couple of seasons without true PGs competing in the role. Not championship seasons mind you...
Under Lindy we've had Booker and Jackson. I don't remember Lindy as HC without a PG. Not saying we couldn't do it but, we seem to have had solid PG's running the team. Alexander may be capable. Teagan is not ready.
Why, is it so hard to get a PG? I, know they are in high demand but getting at least one shouldn't be hard to do.
If, Colvin and Alexander are our only PG's next year. Expect, 5 turnovers a piece from them. We, are in trouble.

I’ll add to this, getting a moderately sized “big” in the middle too..
It's weird how I don't remember much from those Covid years including 20-21. I never got Covid but, I was also moving from one state to another during that season.
