Is anyone else paying attention to our conference mates recruiting?

Boise reloaded. They have 2 top 100 guys in their recruiting class. UNLV loaded. They got a bunch of transfers from power 5 conferences. SDSU has a great looking class coming in. USU got a good looking center to transfer to Logan.
To me, it looks like CSU might have slipped a little bit. They replaced Dijon Thomas and Kendal Moore with a couple of freshmen. I like Tavi Jackson, but it's not like their recruits are physically developed. They're freshmen. If Roddy comes back, they'll be fine, but they got younger when Wyoming and UNLV got older.
The top of the league is going to be stacked again, regardless of what Akot, Armus, Roddy, and Maldonado do. If Wyoming wants to cut down nets next year, we're going to have to do it in one of the strongest MWC basketball seasons in history.
Our team needs to get here as soon as possible and start getting reps. The league is going to be a monster next year.

This is the second time you’ve posted about UNLV. They lost everything and replaced it with something. I’d be surprised if they were better.

Unlv didn't lose a lot. They still have a scholarship or 2 and some good big man transfers that they're targeting. They've already added 4 really solid guys.
To me, it looks like they're going to be in that top tier next season.

Bryce is done? 4 of their top 5 scorers were seniors, how many are coming back for Covid year ? Sometimes when your team isn’t good, not having guys return can be a good thing.

Bryce Hamilton was their whole team

Who are the top 100s Boise brought in? I guess I should learn their names

Since I posted this thread, UNLV has lost 2 more guys to the transfer portal. I guess the returning guards didn't see playing time with the new transfers coming in. They have 3 scholarships to fill in Vegas.
Keep on eye on them though. Kruger has been bringing in some studs. We'll see what he does with the last 3 schollies.

I dig it. It’s a true quote. I feel like we upgraded on the bb court with who we got versus who left sans Jeffries

The Lobos just signed big man Morris Udeze from Wichita State. He's 6'8", 245, and has a 7 foot wingspan. He looks like a great get for the Lobos. The Lobos addressed their biggest weakness with Morris.
We signed Ethan for a lot of reasons. One of them is because we couldn't keep guys like House out of the paint. UNM signed Udeze, which seems like a guy that might be able to match up one on one with Graham Ike.
It's great news for the league when the Lobos are good. They actually win games in the dance unlike the clowns in Boise and the guys at SDSU that haven't won an NCAA tournament game in 5 years.
Nevada has had a couple of good signings as well. That doesn't worry me that much because Alford is a great recruiter and a really bad basketball coach.

I don’t think UNM has ever been to a sweet sixteen.

They actually been to the Sweet 16 twice. Last time was in 1974.
But back then there weren't 68 teams in the tournament so....
