OK guys! Now you can really play around with schollies. That means UNLV could take two transfers this year! If they were to grab Jasper & Thomas, and still be able to pick up a quality guard, maybe we should get together and put a deposit on a Luxury Suite at the T&M! Seats will be starting to go at a premium. Do you think this talk took place with LK because he had two transfer possibilities waiting out there?
hmm idk if gettin a transfer that just had a major surgery an only two years of eligbility and a guy frm peperdine that seems to have acadmeic problems is a good idea..if we have a big season next year i think kruger will be albe to lock up some good recuits in 09 with trent ej marshall solom hill and thames all showing intrest in the rebles
putting your eggs in one basket doesn't work. If Trent is ready to commit, great! But don't pass up talent that wants to come, if he wants to come. Trent has a lot of people courting him. To depend on him signing if you want a big man is taking a long shot. A bird in the hand 'ya know. If he doesn't work out in the classroom, he'll be shown to the door quick enough. Don't know how he can be worth strong consideration by UCLA and is not good enough for UNLV. He wouldn't be my first choice for a transfer this year, but he's my second. His numbers for a PF in his freshman year were the kind of numbers you'd expect from a Junior.
As far as Jasper goes, too many people I respect have nothing but good things to say about his game. The only knock is that he's not a big scorer. But he's got speed, confidence, can rebound like crazy at 6'6 for a PG, and everyone says he's got basketball "smarts". Knows how, who and when to dish the ball.
I was kinda hoping that Bayno would look at Cage for LMU. I don't think he's interested in CSU. His plans are going to Dental School, and he might return to UNLV to do that.
Nation8, have a little class. In all the posts I've read on Kentuckys threads, I don't see people begging Jasper to leave. You are ready to kick everyone off the team that doesn't fit your profile for a UNLV bball player. Maybe you should start emailing Coach Kruger to let him know your thoughts, he may hire you as a recruiter. As far as Cage goes, I seem to remember back to pretty much everyone saying he'd be the one to transfer almost a month ago. Wish him well, I'm sure he is sick knowing he is leaving a program that is only going to continue getting better. It's not like Cage ever acted in the manner of the 3 goofs Kruger dismissed last year. His uncle showed class in his post, Cage showed class in sticking through this season. Maybe we could show a little class regarding Cage and Wallace, don't you think Nation8???
I agree, the guy was not a star and might not have worked out like everyone hoped but the guys is/was a rebel and we should wish him well.
On the other view, he has now opened the door for another player to come in. There are many guys that UNLV is recruiting, off the top of my head I can name: Thames, Solomon Hill, Elijah Johnson, Clerance Trent, Anthony Marshall, Quincy Acy. This isn't even counting transfer possibilities. I'm beginning to think that we will only get one of the 3 (ej, marshall, trent) that we want. These guys can play for major programs and I don't know if we are the favorite, at this point, for any of them. Geez, the floog gates open again on possibilities.
