Say whaaaaaaaa?
Why the hell else would you use this example if you weren't implying it was the same thing?
This is a quality statement, though.
Right. I guess that was kind of my point. Vaughn would maybe take us a game farther in the tournament but he wouldn't be our Wiggins who we relied upon game after game. He'd be more like a (forgive me) Harrison Barnes or Glen Robinson. I'll be interested to see what we add. I'd like a big guard, essentially Kane. I mean, our interior should be much more solid especially if we add Lee. If you add something close to Kane's skillset, not even production, get some improvement from Naz, Matt and SDW (btw-I want to know what's keeping him off the court. Sorry I'm just not sure what MT is bringing) and you have a pretty damn good team.
Regardless of what happens with Rice.......this isn't a sparkling endorsement of his commitment to UNLV. And if I was a recruit...I might follow his example and see what else is out there. Remember what happened to Alford right after he signed a new contract at New Mexico?!
If he took us one game further, that is the Elite Eight and then maybe the addition of Lee takes us one game further. If they both want to come here, you would not say no. However, I don't think that RV is coming here. Lee on the other hand, I think is.
I think McKay was a much more important addition for next years ceiling than Vaughn would be. Possibly Lee as well.
its going to be funny when rice stays at UNLV and then gets fired at the end of the 14/15 season.
How does a guy who has a not so hot season, that way underperformed get a raise + extension?
Well, I'd rather win a national title, but you are both saying the same thing. Get the player in here that helps us the most. It is certainly possible, if not likely, that would be a motivated, experienced, 5th year guy.
I am all for Vaughn if it is the best option, but it may not be, it just depends on what the alternative is. Fred puts a lot of importance on fit and playing the right way. Picking UNLV and in the manner he communicated with the staff could make a coach doubt Vaughn prioritizes what we expect our guys to. Tom Izzo is huge on this and it shows in how his guys play. He told Cliff Alexander to more or less to go **** himself after Alexander jerked around MSU.
Well, there was the Armardi situation. But going forward, I doubt we get ourselves in that situation by tying up scholarships on Bluford's.
Joey Johnston @JJohnstonTBO 2mUNLV AD to Las Vegas Review-Journal: "Dave (Rice) does have a solid offer from South Florida. We'll get it resolved in the morning."
