Here are some other people squating in UNLV facilities. You are right UNLV has nothing to offer recruits.
RECRUITING: Elijah Brown to Oregon
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
And Fred could convince players to come here by promising that he could get them to the NBA (remember that Jameel paid his own way for a semester). That worked, but I suspect it wouldn't have worked for too much longer.
Fred did some things better than Prohm. But Prohm does some things better than Fred. I think that Prohm is committed to building relationships with players and that will serve him well with high school recruiting. I also think that he knows that traditional transfers, grad transfers, and juices are important as well. But I think ideally, he'd like to be in a situation where he is getting 1-3 of those per year.
Fred is off living his life long dream in Chicago and I'm glad that we have the coach we have.
I'm encouraged by this. We should probably lose a couple extra and try to get demoted to a crap conference so like UNLV we can reel in top recruits that value winning and playing in a pro style offense.
Just curious to know your reasoning? Did you have something against him personally, or just that he's from the Hoiberg era?
I always thought he was a pretty good assistant. He's the guy that brought Monte in, isn't he?
Plus that connection to Michigan can be rewarding.
Yeah. I just really can't imagine him and Prohm working together from what I know. I could be way off base but they seem like pretty different dudes.
High school guys, sure.Wasn't all of our recruiting pretty sparse after Monte?
I don't think Mann gets Michigan guys like some here think, but it's not easy to get high school recruits to a coach basically admitting to waiting for the Bulls job to open. I'm not surprised TJ left for Washington. In regards to Mann, I don't think Prohm would hire him anyways
This cracks me up...when your best recruiting pitch is "you can watch good basketball players practice".
I guess it works for them, though. And they're getting results...they won a tourney game in 2008.
ISU must be big time.

I think we all learned a few things today...
Rich athletes like to go to Las Vegas and UNLV fans act like it was the "University" that drew them to Vegas.
And Cuttino Mobley is evidently still alive and UNLV fans like to brag about him playing basketball in Las Vegas.
What a time to be alive.
You do know Prohm brought in the highest ranked recruit in ISU history (depending on where you look) this year right? You do know Fred lost Rashad Vaughn to UNLV right?
Depending on where you look? He's higher than Brackins?
I am probably not looking in the right places but on 247 our class is rated 30th, on rivals it is rated 23rd and on espn it is rated 18th. Do you really think this is the highest rated class ever at ISU? People tend to forgot that recruiting ratings are always in flex some teams that didn't do well last fall might have done very well in the spring. We have done basically nothing to help ourselves since last November.
