Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Didn't we just have a discussion on would you rather have Georges for 4 or Noel for 1? Here we go.

That's the real bummer about the decision. He took so long to decide that the crop of quality, uncommited high schoolers has really dwindled. We will likely have to go the JUCO route, which is fine but kind of destroys the 4 years is better than 1 argument.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

It's easy to be upset with RV, but I can't imagine this can be easy on him. Over the course of 4-5 years I'm sure he's grown close with Fred and Matt, and I imagine it's hard to let them know you're not going with them. It's alot to put on an 18 year old plate.

It is a lot to put on a kid's plate, but if it truly came down to UNLV and ISU, then his decision should have been an easy one.

Go play for the slimy used car salesman guy, or the classy, professional young guy with all the NBA connections. RV chose the fake glitz and glamour that the slimy used car salesman guy was selling him. I just hope he doesn't regret his decision. Good luck to him.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Exactly! College athletics is quickly becoming a joke, and believe me I don't have the answer. And it's not because I am butt hurt, but when these jocks use a state run institution of higher ed as a stepping stone to possible money it sucks. I would say the same thing if he came to ISU and left after one year and won a national championship. What is the point?

I'm not going to lie. I will probably cheer against him next year. Just my natural feeling.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

And this is why it's dumb/creepy for grown men to spend so much time obsessing over a 17 year old kid/changing your avatars to his face/twitter bombing him etc.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

I'll tell you what, the limited exposure that I have had with UNLV (both football games home and away) would make me want to run for the hills. It might just be their fb fan base, but it was enough to show me that their fan base is pretty rough and classless. Perhaps bb is different, but I think it's a mind set.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Matt's tweets should tell you all how crappy this went down in the past few months. I can't explain this enough. The staff has been gut punched big time.

I'm reading into this that they were given some assurances built upon over a period of months that were not lived up to. We have lost out on other big time recruits in the past without getting the feeling of being betrayed and misled.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

You don't have to be a **** to him or UNLV, but a nice respectful tweet telling him he made a mistake probably would make everyone feel better.

I think everyone is being trolled to drum up some press. I just want to be on record with that in the 1% chance I am right.
