:shocked: Isn't that what ALL coaches say 1-3 days before they announce they're leaving for a new job?

Have to believe unlv will have lower/easier admission criteria than cincinnati... it's a wash on conference play... recruiting to Vegas vice cincinnati should be vastly easier, he won't have to share the city with a rival program

Sometimes. What is odd here is Cincy announced they gave UNLV permission to talk to him.

agree -- mick is making a bigger issue out of it than it is... kinda like all of the talking heads trying to create a story out of lebron james dropping some of his twitter followees (like he does in prep for the nba playoffs...) into a HUGE issue...

Stony Brook is in Suffolk Co. on Long Island. Has about 24K students and has made a huge push to upgrade their athletics. Built a new basketball arena, holds about 5k. About 1.5 hours to the city, but has access to McArthur airport which flies all over the place.Not a problem to get to by air.

Yup, They look to be a sleeping giant. Definitely have the resources to start being a house hold name.
 
Dannen is old friends with Lansing from their Iowa days, Marshalltown is only 30 miles from Des Moines. Dannen saw more of Lansing while Dannen was at UNI. Tulane would pay Lansing what he is worth, and it wouldn't hurt him to start over somewhere else.

Don't ruin my dream.

Been told by multiple sources Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin and UNLV are headed in the direction of a marriage. Talks still ongoing, though.

I have actually heard some coaches say Vegas is actually not that easy to recruit to. Though some students may be excited by the bright lights. Many parents get real nervous sending there 18 year old to a town whose motto is: "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". I have heard some coaches say recruits or there parents say no way to Vegas.

I could see that. Campus and the Thomas and Mack Center are less than a couple miles off the Strip.

Fun fact: I went to elementary school right across the street from UNLV during the Tark/Larry Johnson/Greg Anthony/Stacey Augmon days.

See any games?

I watched a 30 for 30 on UNLV and Tark about 5 years ago. That was a messed up system. Tark was basically running a half way house and the President of the university wanted him gone. Apparently, the president hired a private investigator to secretly film Tark so he could catch him doing something illegal and fire him. He felt like Tark had more power than he did.

Yep, tons. They would give tickets to our school all the time. Gerald Paddio's younger brother was on my 5th or 6th grade hoops team and several of the 1989-90, 90-91 teams came by the school.

Still the best college basketball team I've ever seen in person. I was at the home opener in 1989 when they played Hank Gathers/Bo Kimble of Loyola Marymount.

Vegas probably gets you as many recruits as it loses you recruits... I can see (some) parents refusing to let the child attend college in vegas but outside of the overt gambling, are the 'evils of Vegas' THAT much different than what college kids can find on any large city/urban campus?

:ohno: What?!?! A college president who KNEW the MBB or football coach DID have more power than the university president?? I've never, NEVER heard of that before!!! :shocked:

First, if you want to find trouble every campus will provide that opportunity. Have you been to Vegas? You can see the strip from Thomas & Mack. I was out there a few years ago and played poker with 2 kids from UNLV. Both said they were just stopping by to play a couple hours before class started. The one even said he had two tests the next day. I left and came back and left again at midnight and both were still there. I think there are way more temptations in Vegas than most other college towns. Several college towns are similar to West Laffy or Bloomington.

I believe some parents and even students don't like what Vegas stands for. I don't think I have ever heard that said about West Laffy or Bloomington.
