Is it time to say that UNLV is back?
With three nationally sought-after commits in one week, Marvin Menzies has his eye on completely restructuring a middling Runnin’ Rebels program.
The week began with Brandon McCoy, a consensus five-star recruit currently ranked 13th on 247Sports’ recruiting list. The 6-11, 240-pounder is the fourth-highest rated UNLV recruit in 247Sports’ database behind NBA draft picks Anthony Bennett, Rashad Vaughn and Stephen Zimmerman. He announced his intention to head to Vegas in a tweet Tuesday night, electrifying the Rebel faithful.
But it didn’t stop there.
Wednesday was another home run for Menzies, adding Shakur Juiston (JUCO 4* power forward from Kansas) and Amauri Hardy (3* guard, 5th-highest Michigan recruit).
