Willden4UNLV Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Carlos Johnson 3 star from findlay prep commits to Rebels. I admit I'm a little baffled. I don't quite understand why we are taking commitments from these guys at this point. We have already got Justin Jackson coming in at small forward. Rice must really not expect to land one of the other bigs we're recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtball Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I cant believe UNLV took him. I'm shocked actually. However, I'm not a fan of his game (from reports and highlights). I was confused when sdsu "offered" him. He seems like he doesnt have a position. "Make like a tree and scram" - Rosegreen Your administration is the reason why our basketball league is bleeding out currently. If you didn't insist on San Jose being in the MWC, so you guys would have someone that votes similar to SDSU, every team in the MWC wouldn't have to play 2 games vs. a team with a 330 RPI ranking EVERY season. You guys are as stupid as you are desperate. - Cowboy Junky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4UNLV Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 i was a bit surprised as well..i guess this is why his shooting percentage is so high.andRebel-Net.com @Rebel_Net 1h1 hour ago Great get by UNLV hoops today. Despite his height, Carlos Johnson is a beast around the paint. Will toughen every other Rebel up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNLV2001 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Seems to be a Charles Barkley type body / player - least he's thick, got some hops and a little shooting range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badfish Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm kind of puzzled why so many are confused we took this kid. We got killed last year by only having 6-7 players, Rice seems to be utilizing a full bench from here on out. You cant have a roster full of 5* players. This kid was brought in as a role player off the bench, I think it's a great pickup. According to everyone who knows about him, he has a nonstop motor, he is tough as nails, and he will spend the year getting better at Findlay against top competition. He sounds like the perfect type of recruit we need to come off the bench.exactly. Not a 5* princess, but a real baller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedRed702 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Not a fan of this pick up. I understand that more guys may leave. But still, hold out for kobi, and then if we don't get him, look at other options. I'm sure this kid would still be sitting around at that point. Now we will have to have an extra 2 guys leave (outside the seniors) to even be able to land kobi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestintheWest Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 13 scholarships to fill. Not sure where the confusion is. There is a logjam up and down the roster already. These kids obviously wanna be 4 year guys or get in and get out with a solid resume for a transfer. All is well, For Rice is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierRebel Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 @ph90702 I hate to break this to you, but you're still wrong. You made two statements. First, that it was probable UNLV would land Kobi Simmons. Second, that the national experts were saying Kobi would land at UNLV. Even if you say Kentucky doesn't want him, they are tied with Ohio State. And since I did look at the data closely I saw that UNLV is actually on a slight downward trend. Earlier this week UNLV was at 30% and now they are down to 25%. I could give you more examples of how you are wrong, but I'm sure you just calle clueless or a moron and offer nothing of any substance to back up anything you say.
