Unlv bb luv from main board

Recommended Posts

I was reading Blue Ribbon and it was talking of Jenkins and Hamilton saying no MWC team will feature a more dominant guard duo than UNLV.  Which I think we pretty much knew but then I was a little surprised when they ranked UNLV with the third best front court behind Utah St as #1 and SDSU as #2.  I was thinking our front court would be our weak spot.  If they have it correct and UMLV can stay healthy UNLV will have a very good shot to challenge SDSU for conf champs this year.

The article forgot to mention Keshad Johnson for the Aztecs.  He may well be first forward off the bench ahead of Che Evans.  Sort of a big miss.

Also, from what I hear, Lamont Butler comes in as a D1 ready PG.

But s always, wait and see applies, especially this year.

People discount the fact that Otzelberger had UNLV competing in the top of the MWC (12-6 conference record tied for 2nd) in one of the stronger years the MWC has had talent-wise in a long time.---and he did it in a 1st year rebuild season with a frankenstein team relying on 4 former walk-ons and some Aussie 31% 3 pt specialist that had no business playing D1 ball. 

Hamilton, Hardy, EML  and Diong were the only original D1 schollie players on the team. 

In the 2019/20 All-MWC Team (1st Team, 2nd Team, 3rd Team, and Honorable mentions (top 25 best players in the MWC)--UNLV only had two players make the list (Hamilton and Hardy)

With a stark increase in talent across the board, I think its going to be a dogfight between SDSU/UNLV for the #1 spot and the rest of the MWC lagging behind.

The one thing I noticed from that is it states that projected records are mostly based on last year's results.  Problem is there was allot of turn over in the MWC from players to staff.  But I do see pretty much all the preseason polls show the same five as the top of the MWC.  Anyway you look at it I feel the MWC overall is starting to get better again and if we keep progressing we will match what we use to be.
