I'm really happy for Rashad. He's struggled somewhat against the better teams UNLV has played but had a "break out" game against some of the best. I'm glad BDJ is doing well at ISU. He's an intelligent, talented young man and I'm glad someone has been able to get the best out of him. Let me tell you guys this, though, with all due respect UNLV isn't paying any players. UNLV doesn't even have enough money to pay for a real coach. Kruger left because of money and Dave Rice only makes something like 750k a year. Hoiberg makes double that I'm sure. If anybody has the money to pay players, its P5 schools, not broke schools from the Mountain West. That being said I really don't know how UNLV is landing these recruits lately. There's always been good weather, pretty girls, etc. in Las Vegas but players haven't exactly been beating down the door until Rice got here, and then all of a sudden UNLV competing with Duke and Kentucky again for players. There's got to be something to it but I really don't think its about pay-offs.
