UNLV Transfers
- Thread starter RebNReno
- Start date
hours ago · Oregon has lost another scholarship player to the transfer portal. Earlier this month, running back Cyrus Habibi-Likio entered the portal and now redshirt freshman quarterback Cale Millen has decided to as well, per ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.. He will have four seasons of eligiblity remaining.
Cyrus did not play very much at all in the Covid year. His average rush is about 4 yards per carry over his two seasons at Oregon. Big at 215 lbs and 6'1". Would have two seasons of eligibility at least. I would say he could do really well at most MWC's or equivalent. Big 12 could come calling too.
I think if he wants to come here, with our roster unless you really think Rogers is more than he's shown then you almost have to take the kid.
Tyleek Collins is in the transfer portal. Hate to see him go as he had some great moments but we never really fully utilized his talents.
I didn’t see anything out of Rogers to feel like he already has the job for 2021. I don’t think he even separated himself from Brumfield based off of 2020. Our QB play was pretty terrible last year. I definitely wouldn’t mind another experienced QB and Tate could certainly come in and challenge those 2 for the starting job.
Martell:
Poway HS
Bishop Gorman HS
Washington commit/de-commit
Texas A&M commit/de-commit
OSU transfer
Miami kicked off team??/transfer
maybe he has talent, although he hasn’t shown it. I wouldn’t touch this kid with a 10 foot pole. Actually I’d love to see him go to UNLV and get beat out like he has everywhere else he’s been.

I’m never a fan of that type of movement. Doesn’t have to be the case, but screams one of two things to me .... afraid to compete or he and/or circle are a pain in the ass.
Most colleges carry at least 4 but UNLV has to get it right and Rodgers and Blumfield showed so little. The other is a true freshman. If you can get the Oregon transfer you have to take him but since he is a freshman I would like an experienced guy with him. Maybe you just take the Oregon transfer
Martell was back up to a first rounder twice. That is not a reason to be down on him. The experience at Miami was similar. A really mobile quarterback who could run because their O line sucked. Maybe the same thing would happen here because we are so young. Martell has had great coaching and certainly has the body to be a slot receiver/shotgun quarterback.
I can't see it.
For all the talk of Oblad being a baller a few things to keep in mind.
1) Look at his completion % vs Armani two seasons ago. It really wasn't much better.
2) He had a number of slow starts in games.
3) Yes, he throws a nice ball, but he was not very mobile. He basically took all zone read plays out of the playbook.
4) He had a lot of garbage time stat padding.
Was he a better option than Armani? Yeah, I guess.
Was he a guy I think UNLV could go bowling with at QB....I doubt it.
In the right offense he might flourish.
I think people need to go back and look at his stats. Stats don't tell the whole story but they tell you enough.
In defense of all the QBs this season. The WR situation was not great this year.
Pressley out again. Grimes out. Woods graduated. Stevenson out.
That's your top four guys from the previous year gone.
A lot of true freshman starting.
If Grimes had played at least there is a downfield threat to open up the underneath stuff.
Obviously none of the QBs played well, but I'm not sure it's all because of their lack of talent.
There was also a lot of shuffling along the O-Line with guys playing out of normal positions.
Rogers was a safe gamble. Another year removed from an injury should help his confidence. Brumfield has a big arm. I think he has (I hate cliches but here we go) upside.
Agree totally, if you can land an experienced QB or 5th year senior in the portal, I think you grab them.
I was able to watch about 1/2 the games this year. I only saw a little bit of Rogers. But what I saw I liked. I thought he had a good body who could sit in the pocket and throw a nice ball. Good arm. Didn't see much mobility, but he is coming off a pretty signficant injury and being another year removed next season could give him more pep in his step.
Obvisouly not sold on him, but I can see potential and would not rule him out.
I do not think Oblad got a raw deal. It seemed like coach Arroyo gave all the QBs a pretty fair shake. His immobility is just not a great fit for this offense.
Scoring points wasn't really the problem for Sanchez (and every UNLV coach other than John Robinson). It was the inability to stop anyone... Ever.
Bull is right. We usually are good to strong with our receiver corps. That was dead in the water this season
We showed nothing, nowhere this season. I’m not knocking Arroyo, it was six games, schedule all over the place, hard to expect any continuity and week to week improvement.
Nothing was revealed or grown upon this season. No idea of long term plans or philosophy were evident.
Wins and losses aside, i expect some of that stuff to start materializing next season though.
I think this was the most frustrating year offensively since Hauck's first year.
I love this website because it has all stats from previous seasons. Here is the PPG and national rank since JRob. With the exception of his first year JRob's offenses were actually decent by UNLV standards. Hauck's were probably the worst and Sanchez's the best. I didnt feel like taking the time to post the stats, but the defenses over this time have been pathetic with the exception of JRobs years which were actually pretty good his best being 36th out of 117 schools and another year being 42/117.

I think the parenthese went in the wrong place. I meant that to say that J. Rob was the only one with a decent defense. It was not a comment on his offense.

Hauck's bowl season the defense wasn't good. But, they did seem to come up with timely stops, or force a turnover at critical moments.
It's been a long stretch of awful defense.
For all the complaints about Barney Cotton as OC, I thought he was pretty solid.
He had two or three occasions where I didn't think he called a particularly good game.
The 2nd half of the AF game when the Rebs had a big lead..
The SDSU game where Sneed was making his 1st or 2nd start. I thought he was too conservative. Defense was keeping them in that game and Cotton seemed to just be hoping Lex would break one. Never let Sneed challenge the defense downfield.
Cotton's tenure the Rebs avg about 30 ppg. That should be enough to get you close to .500 if your defense is even mediocre.

Since Jrob, our offense has been mediocre to poor, our defense has been poor, our special teams have been poor.
We’ve sucked.
I remember being at least semi excited about certain units over the years. Receiving corps, backfield .... for defense, no. Certain players, but not entire units, not since Jrob with the secondary/LB’s ... even Dline to an extent. And back then, special teams did SOMETHING now and again, some good kickers, decent returners, could block some kicks too.
We really have been pretty poor in nearly all aspects for quite some time.
Playing JRob up to have a hall of fame career here - even though he drove me nuts much of the time with how conservative and predictable we were. But, “pretty solid” is apropos, and for UNLV football, that’s pretty damn good.
3rd and 9...
QB draw with Jason Thomas.
Every damn time.
Defense has had some stand out dudes.
My favorite was Beau Bell. Felt like that guy was good for 10 tackles a game.
Eric Wright at CB was really good.
Brimmer..If there was a player that should have come out a year early it was him. His JR year tape (especially Wisconsin game) was excellent. Probably could have swayed a GM to take a shot on him despite sub par 40 time. Senior year he got asked to cover more and got exposed a bit. Still one of the better DBs UNLV has had..
Javin White was a bright spot for some awful defenses.
Robinson's LB Corp of Seward, Clarridge, Andrews and Bell was as good as UNLV has had.
Can’t forget KT. LOVED watching him bait quarterbacks by leaving a man seemingly open.
He was no Dodd-Masters!
I forget who it was against, but he had been smoked (hence the nickname Dutch Masters) like 2 or 3 times for TDs in a game. He breaks up a pass late in the game, the Rebs were down like 20+ and he gives the WR he was covering the throat slit..
Ah the menories..
He was also the 5th guy in on a tackle for loss with a very soft tackle and he'd celebrate like he was Mark Gastineau
How about the Ole Miss game when JRob calls a run from the 17 yard line with no time on the clock and Rudolph scores. Then Kevin Brown gets the 2 pt conversion to send the game to OT.
Dumbest great call I’ve seen in UNLV football history.
I still remember that, I heard the radio call at the time, we were watching somebody play at GVHS. It was a Dixie State JC exhibition game. I think it was Banks and the kid that went to LSU that I really wanted ... his name eludes me. Jaime somebody ... Jaime Lloreda maybe?
I remember John Greer blocking two guys on Rudolph's TD.
Then there was Third and Nate
Then there was Third and Nate
Didn’t they bring in Deuce late? Didn’t intend on playing him, injury, was supposed to be a blowout ...
I believe so...
Slightly off topic, (as most threads tend to).
I remember the crowds being more lively and fun back then. Especially for big OOC games like Wisconsin. The Iowa State Phillip Payne game was as much fun as I can remember at Sam Boyd.
Pretty sad you could make a strong argument that Sanford's 5-7 team that beat ASU and ISU was the best team the Rebs have had in the last 25 years. They had 2 or 3 games they lost that were one score affairs heading into the 4th quarter.
JRob certinly brought in more talent then we’ve ever had, a shame he was so conservative with the offense. Seemed like (when we did throw) all we ran was curl routes and Thomas would throw it over the WRs head by 10 feet. Really too bad Thomas couldn’t play a few years later in the spread era, would’ve been fun to watch. Still some great memories.
1-Miracle at Baylor. Remember listening on the radio. Announcer called the fumble and yelled “REBELS HAVE THE FOOTBALL! REBELS HAVE THE FOOTBALL!”. Thought “So what? Have time for 1 play and 99 yards to go?” Of course Kevin Thomas was running it back for a score, just took the announcer awhile to say that, haha.
2-Dominating Wisconsin where Brimmer became known nationally
3-Convincing win over Arkansas in the bowl game
4-JROB owning Reno. Only coach to do so since I have been following sports. Think he was 5-1 or something like that.
Games were certainly more fun with much livelier crowds, however the ”best” crowd I ever experienced was 94 vs Reno. Jeff Horton’s only good year. We upset Reno 32-27 to win the Big West and go to the LV Bowl (where we avenged a loss to Central Michigan). It was a day game (and very cold), but the crowd stood for most of the game and was as loud as I’ve ever heard

If im not mistaken he didnt play until OT and then scored the winning TD after UNLV kicked a FG to take the lead.
Definitely
Thomas would have flourished in the spread offenses of today. Big QB, decent speed, good arm until he injured his shoulder.
Sanford's drubbing of Utah is up there for me.
By the 4th quarter you could see Utah defenders wanted no part of tackling Frank Summers.
