QB situation next year?

100% agree. Which for MBB means CKK stays unless there’s a great hire available at the same salary. We don’t have to like it but we should accept it to keep Odom (or be able to afford a close to equal replacement).

why do people always think there isnt money to hire a new coach... Its never been about the money. First go around after Rice it was the reputation of the university and the AD. After Menzies, Otz was a pretty decent type of hire- just happened to not want to be here once the ISU job opened in January. Kevin wasnt a money hire, it was a lazy hire. She wanted to get process done quickly because Otz embarrassed her by leaving the way he did and thought she'd get Lon Kruger as well and all we got so far is some shots from games where he's watching. Money wasnt the problem.
Money also wont be the problem for Odom. Im not talking competing against ridiculous P4 money- thats not my concern, We will be able to compensate him well enough for a G5 coach to make him happy, itll be whether he wants to go back into the bigger conference challenges or if he sees a ceiling at UNLV.

Garyt Odom offered by PSU, Louisville, Arkansas etc. He is only 165 lbs and is UNLV commit. What do people see in BO's son. He will be a freshman. Is he enrolling for the spring?

I've asked the same it doesn't sound like many are familiar with how good he is or not. His target schools would say yes he is good.

At first I read that and was thinking you were talking about Odom. LOL

If it was Odom, there are not even close to 50 football coaches that are better at any price. How many coaches can take a program that has been bottom 20 for decades, and in two season turn them into a top 25 program?

Rivals list him at 6'1" - 175 lbs. Hopefully he puts an inch or two and 10-20 pounds on during his senior year.

l will watch the Pepperdine game to watch Thomas' replacement at point guard. His assists are way off this year or the guys he passes it too can't shoot. I saw two great assists from Hicks and K took him out. The guard from Oral Roberts looked good at point. If this team doesn't pick up the pace it's too small size will kill them in conference. Example, Xavier destroyed Purdue with speed. Gonzaga took SDSU to the beach with speed. Walking it up should have had KK fired last year. Next year, it will be worse as we join the backwoods MWC for real and have no competitive teams in the league except GCU and NM. We are not competitive at this point because players won't come.

His passing stats are under 10 or so a game but at lot of coaches like him.

There's alot to unpack here, but a simple coaching change can do wonders with today's NIL and free transfer market. Don't need 4 and 5 star guys to win the MWC. No, we aren't going from almost 2 decades of not winning a conference title to a F4 team because a coach signed a 4 star recruit... we will get players, the question will be the coach. And we'll be the 4th best team in that backwards conference till proven otherwise, and yeah, get used to it for at least 3 years
