We are in bizness

Again, the stats guys won't be excited, but this is a kid ready to explode and will be an excellent Robin to DTJ...
I just read an article from Dallas (HS years) in which they called Bizjack the “Modern Day Pete Maravich”. That works for me, We’ll take that!
Just go get Pop Isaacs and tell him to bring Robert Jennings with him. I mean how hard can it be?!?!
If we’re bringing kids back to Vegas and UNLV, make it a TT trifecta and have Kyeron Lindsey make the trip from Lubbock. A baby could do this recruiting.

The difference being in Bizjacks 1st year he averaged 4 points a game vs. Maravich averaging 44 points a game.
Maybe it was a typo and meant to say modern day Dantley Walker?
Hi, I have been reading the board for years. Very interesting stuff. By the way Pistol Pete didn't play varsity as a Freshmen.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or just trying to make me look bad or something!?
Obviously they were comping to skill versatility, court presence and IQ. When has any player averaged 44 points a game in the NCAAs after that?
And speaking of numbers, we could do far worse than a player who scored 2900 points/700 rebounds/ 600 assists in HS. Every situation is different for freshman and playing time. I think this may be a nice pickup.
you are right on Pistol not playing Varisty college Ball as a Freshman:
Maravich is the all-time leading NCAA Division I men's scorer with 3,667 points scored and an average of 44.2 points per game. All of his accomplishments were achieved before the adoption of the three-point line and shot clock, and despite being unable to play varsity as a freshman under then-NCAA rules.
He couldn't play as a freshman. Freshman did gain eligibility till 1972. His So. year was his first year. So the comparison I make was between both players in their first year.
Just go look at Bizjack's tape from HS. He hasn't shot over 30% from 3 in any year I could find stats at any level (his senior year he's got his points and rebounds, etc but no shooting percentages. He was a ball dominant scoring point in HS put up a lot of points in 6A in Texas.
He's got a really funny shot mechanic--a quick release but it's low and forward. I think against length and athletes he's going to struggle to shoot for any decent percentage.
You desperately needed a proven shooter, and you've got two guys that shot 27% from 3, and another guy who put up 30 attempts. I have no idea what we're doing, but at least that puts me and Kevin in the same bus.

Hopefully we catch lightning in the bottle with Finely Bizjack. He definetly looks like he has the Potential, but he did not light it up his freshman year. This is a gamble. Hopefully the gamble is a good one. IMO i think we still need a experienced off guard 4th year or grad with a good avg. Point total and a 35 pct 3pt shooter or better.
4 pts a game says a lot more than some random guy in Dallas boosting his worth.
So he said .."he might be a modern day Pete Maravich."
anybody old enough to use that reference knows that Pete Maravich didn't get a lot of good press when he played because of his flashy style (he was considered a ball hog and not a team player) everyone thought he played like played like he thought he was on the harlem globetrotters. Behind the legs dribbles and behind the back passes were silly, especially when you're team had a last place record. While Maravich lit up the scoreboard, his teams were notorious losers and he had a reputation for being un-coachable.
Its a weird reference to compare a current player to someone from 50 years ago. Unless you are comparing him to his mystic. saying he might be a "Modern day" Pete Maravich" might not necessarily be a complement. The only thing Pete ever won was scoring titles -
I wouldn't value that opinion as glorifying BIzJacks ability like you think- - unless you are eager to believe he is that good

It all just feels rather mediocre at this point. Sure hope I’m wrong and that there’s a player or two they’ve got waiting to transfer but at this point it doesn’t feel like anywhere near as strong a class as the transfers from last season.
My dad taught military science at LSU during the period Pistol Pete was at LSU, so I am sure he watched him play a lot of times since he received football and basketball tickets to all the games.
These two are better than what we have brought in so far, especially Goodline!
I thought Frankie Fidler was a potential get?
Now he’s got solid stat lines and a good foundational player!

If I were a rich man.....
I'd donate a big check to NIL to get some players!
sadly I am not...Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
I read the article about him choosing Mich St. It was down to Mich St or Wisconsin. He said he wanted to play in ncaa tourney. Ouch for us.
I would rather give my money to my children then to professional athletes.
Fertitta did they already give us a FOOTBALL practice facility? Like i said before i would think NIL would increase significantly if u just invested in a more intriguing (better)HC. Does UNLV expect everything to just fall in their lap and be handed to them?? They would be well into the black in BB if they even had a 2 million plus salary with the right hire. It makes no sense.
