Jenkins also struggled defensively and did not move the ball as willingly as Otzelberger would have liked, which became points of contention for the player and coach.
According to a source, Otzelberger soured on Jenkins during the course of the 2020-21 season. Midway through the campaign, Otzelberger summoned Jenkins to a one-on-one meeting in which the coach told Jenkins he would not have a place on the UNLV roster in 2021-22. According to the source, Otzelberger told Jenkins he did not enjoy coaching him anymore.
Shortly after that meeting, Otzelberger pulled Jenkins from the starting lineup and brought him off the bench for the next six games. Jenkins eventually regained his starting job but it was clear he was no longer in Otzelberger’s future plans.

Not sure how seriously I can take someone whose twitter handle is WorldStarDave...but hey, maybe that's just me...
Jenkins isn't going to end up in Ames.
I think perhaps my comment was misconstrued by you & baagoe. I realize that is the actual player. I was making a reference to the amount of ego behind "world star", and whether or not I would take his response verbatim.
That makes more sense, I getcha now. I'll give it a... 50/50 chance and leave it at that, I guess.
We have to be the only school where we hire an assistant coach who doesn’t bring his son with him and the new head coach doesn’t bring one of his best players from his old school.
Yeah, not buying it. This would be a complete 180 of how he handled the Nunn situation.
I find it odd that he enters the portal, and someone seems to report that there is a "falling out" between player and coach, almost as if they are unaware that said coach is gone.
For a guy that supposedly Otz didn't like coaching anymore, it would seem an odd response by Otz to play Jenkins 36 minutes in their last game, esp. considering Jenkins went 1-13.
Probably fair to file this under pretty much the entirety of Twitter - ******** thrown against the wall to see what sticks. To his credit, at least he includes "according to a source."

Not sure why everyone is marking this as dumb. I had the same thought. Not saying the hires are bad. Just a "woes our luck" thing.
The TJ cult does not appreciate any observations that might be misunderstood as 1% negative.
The people that cover UNLV seem to be a special breed.
AJ has a good gig and may not be interested in starting over on that, I can understand that. The last school for the HC wasn't that good to begin with, so... is that really a big loss?
From what i've seen from UNLV fans on twitter. This isn't the first time this reporter did something like this. Apparently he is known for these unnamed sources with wild accusations.
I know. In a city otherwise known for it's ethical integrity and success based on merit.
