Pick one of these three.

[Bullmastiff 1]

You get to bring back one of these three players in the portal. (We may get decisions any day from them so this may be a mute point)

DeJesus
Camac
Grimes

I'll go with Camac. I think he fits Arnett's 3-3-5 defense extremely well. Long rangey DE, decent first step. Makes plays in the backfield and is disruptive.

Grimes would be second. Experienced DB who can play CB or SF. A lot of versatility.

Love DeJesus but I think you can find guys that can replicate what he does easier than the two guys above.

 

[RebelinWA]

Camac. He is exactly the mold of guy Arnett is looking for, and he's set to have a breakout season. We don't have anyone incoming or currently on the roster that replaces what Camac offers.

I might take Catalon over Grimes, but I wouldn't be upset if Grimes came back. Grimes made our other DB's look great because he was never out of coverage/ the guy he was covering was never an option. Vessel and Decambra fill in nicely at the DB spot, so I'm less upset if Camac is in over them.

DeJesus I would love back as a returner. Definitely not mad if comes back, but I think we've got guys committed already that can overtake him.

 

[1Tripoda]

Camac for sure.

 

[dcut03]

I would honestly love all 3.

Camac feels like the easy choice, mostly because A) he has a ton of potential and really turned it on towards the end of the year last season, and B) we haven't heard much in DL/edge players with the new staff yet, so yeah, a quality player in that position officially on this roster would make ME feel better.

Grimes is an unsung hero of the defense last year. Rarely thrown to, which is a good thing, and I think we felt it when he was out. Again, like Camac, more quality defensive players please.

DeJesus is so versatile. We kinda used him in a Percy Harvin type role last year, and I can see him thrive in that role in this new offense. If Mullen wants to throw 5 WRs out there at times, more quality players the better. JDJ can run good routes, find the zone, and can be electric after the catch. Just don't line him up as a RB anymore please.

 

[oneepstein]

Camac… for all the reasons mentioned by others. Grimes would be a solid second choice, but even though DeJesus seems like a player who is “replicable”, I think his combination of tough, smart, and reliable, along with leadership is special. If he doesn’t go down in the first half against Boise in the first game I think there’s a good chance we win that game.

 

[Meister_Rebel]

Camac

 

[bcvegaspt2]

You take a good DL first, second, and third. Hopefully we find depth on our DL to replace what we are missing.

The rest are replaceable. I like the other two, but more guys can play similar to them than a good DL prospect.

I love DeJesus's attitude and media persona. Feel absolutely terrible for him that he lost his father. I can empathize about how big of a void that causes personally. However, talent-wise, he's third on the list (not that I wouldn't be happy if he stayed. I'd be very happy).

 

[hrz702]

Camac, he’s young and still coming into his own.

De Jesus is just a playmaker. I know you guys didn’t forget about that toe drag in the end zone against Houston.

Grimes is lockdown and a perfect troll.

I’d take any back in a heartbeat but that’s my order

 

[RebelScrub]

they’re all going P4 schools..

Good luck and thank you for being a Rebel.

 

[rebneck]

No disrespect to the others, but Camac all day

 

[Mojo702]

Elad going to Rutgers

 

[unlv7163]

Camac for sure, DeJesus would be second for me due to his big play ability. Always thought he should have gotten a few more touches per game.

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

Elad going to Rutgers

That isn't much of an upgrade can't imagine them offering much more NIL than us.

 

[LVRebel2000]

I think I'd take Catalon 1st, but would be happy with any of the 3. I just remember in past years, how often our safeties would have the opportunity to make a key play, and would miss, giving up long TD's. Catalon was clutch at making good reads, open field tackles, etc. He's a game changer IMO.

 

[unlove]

Seems a bit of an odd choice? Better conference for sure but better exposure?? Not so sure about that. CDM is going to bring a lot of press to UNLV. If we start off the season well the national press is going to heap praise on Mullen and the team. He’s too well liked and connected with them. Seems like Elad would get more PT here as well. Has he been recruited over?

NIL

Fit in the new defense

Playing in bigger conference like you mentioned.

Could be some all or none of these..

Who knows.

 

[Mojo702]

Grimes to Purdue

 

[Masked_rebel]

Guys that got roasted by MWC wrs now get the opportunity to get roasted against guys like Smith at Ohio St.. Goodluck, but I just don't see it working out well next year for some of these guys.

 

[LINEBACKER_U]

1. Grimes
2. Camac
3. Baby Jesus

Unfortunately 1 and 3 are pretty much gone and 2 is likely out as well.
