Portal Thread without music

Currently there are only three players in the portal:

Matthew Sluka - long gone
Michael Allen - do not think he was going to play much next season
Greg Burrell - I hope they can get him back

For a team that has lost their coach, it is crazy UNLV so far only has 2 new players in the portal. The average number of players in the portal by team is currently 12.8.

Most of the players that were contributors were seniors. We need to replace a lot like a ton.

Burrell is going to get a very nice NIL deal and UNLV may not try to compete with it, they are focused on some bigger fish at the most important position.

If Hotel California is in the portal I really hope this staff makes a run at him.
Ok no more...

All seriousness, I think UNLV will be in the mix for some high end prospects at the QB position. We may see another FCS guy in the mix as well but more in a depth capacity.

Some of how they approach it is Mullen's feelings on Ochoa and whether he wants him or he stays at all.

If Ochoa is out then you'll need 3 if not 4 QBs brought in.

A little guessing on my part it will look something like..

Unproven P4 guy that was highly ranked but hasn't won a starting gig yet.

A G5 guy with experience to compete.

An FCS or JUCO for an extra arm in camp.

And attempt to flip a HS prospect.

You want to layer your eligibility a little bit so you aren't in this spot again next year.
 
UNLV have lost 7 or 8 commits for '25 thus far. Add that on top of Grimes, Allen, Burrell, Sluka and whomever else played this year. Sluka and Allen left in the same week.

Edit: here is a list of decommits from 24/7. Most commit and signed with Purdue right away. It is cool, I would rather have them follow CBO than anybody else within our conference.

Fair but we will see guys above our typical pay grade who commit with the new staff.

Yup! UNLV dropped from 1st to around 4th or 5th in the MWC for the 2025 class due to the number of de-commits. 7 or 8 sounds about right. Hopefully they can get a few of them to come back.

I noticed they are all from the southeast area of the country.

With losing BO and hiring Mullen that ranking was bound to change. I have to believe Mullen will get enough portal guys of decent caliber to where we will be okay. Mullen better hire some good recruiters.
