Shaker Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 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.

SDSUfan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 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. “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.” -Richard Feynman "When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators." -P.J.

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.

Shaker Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickdraw Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We’re just a lowly program of past accomplishments in the 2nd year of our 3rd rebuild in 6 years. Nothing to see here. You other dynamos just go about your business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
