The official Dave Rice is a better coach than Special K thread..........

He need to pull the Ginger Jimmer's redshirt.

And he never was a defensive genius. So he has great recruits but forgets to recruit some shooters?

Their defense is actually pretty good. They're very athletic and rebound well. They just don't have anyone that can score from outside. And when you can't score from outside defenses can just pack it in.

Rashad Vaughn the number 10 player in the country commits to UNLV.

Let's take a look at the guys Dave Rice has brought in over the last 3 years:

2012
Anthony Bennett- 5 star and number 1 pick in the NBA draft
Katin Reinhardt- 4 star and number 8 shooting guard in the country
Khem Birch- 5 star transfer from Pitt
Roscoe Smith- 4 star transfer from UCONN

2013
Jelan Kendrick- 5 star transfer from Indian Hills CC, (#8 player in the country coming out of high school, originally committed to Memphis)
Christian Wood- 4 star power forward

2014
Goodluck Okonoboh- 4 star, number 5 center in the country
Dwayne Morgan- 5 star, number 7 overall player in the country
Rashad Vaughn- 5 star, number 10 overall player in the country


He may not be winning the games he should, but he is a witch when it comes to recruiting.

This does not speak very highly of his coaching ability. It does speak to the good old days of UNLV boosters paying players being back though.

I forgot he's there.

Boy you axin for it!

He has a team that cannot shoot at all.

That would be all on Dave Rice. He has a team that is entirely his recruits right now. He is regressing without the residual benefit of Lon Kruger's great coaching.

Seems like he could find a sharp shooter somewhere in the JCs.

Crazy reading the start of this thread Moser is a transfer specialist.

True. I said it earlier in this thread. They are full of athletes. But they are one dimensional. Teams pack the paint and force them to shoot over the top.

(Anthony Bennett is going off for Cleveland right now. He looks in shape and every bit the #1 pick)

Is that the Dantley Walker guy? I wondered how he is doing there and if BYU made a mistake in not going after him.

He is redshirting this year after returning from a mission. I would imagine if nothing else the kid can shoot and UNLV definitely needs shooters.

Cody Doolin will play for UNLV next year. He's the kind of guy UNLV needs.

Whatever happened with him in SF? I knew he was leaving but never heard why?

They might have had a chance ot win the conference with Doolin. I thought they were going to tank when he left.
