The Runnin’ Rebels have a bright future ahead after two stand-out recruiting seasons for 2017 and 2018.
In the 2017 recruiting season, head coach Marvin Menzies signed six highly-ranked athletes to the team. Shakur Juiston, Tervell Beck, Chiekh Mbacke Diong, Amauri Hardy, Anthony Smith and Brandon McCoy all joined the roster and will make their season debut in UNLV basketball this winter.
Juiston is a 6-foot-7-inch, 215-pound forward from Hutchinson Community College. He was ranked as the No. 1 junior college prospect in the country after leading his school to the national title last spring.
Hardy is a 6-foot-2-inch, 175-pound point guard from Detroit.
