So we are a team filled with transfers and it looks like we are doing very well with what we have. I always wonder if the same happen to the guys who transfer out of our program. From what I see we got the better end of the deal by them leaving and not ruining out program.
Let start off about seven years back!
Jamal Holden: He was a recruit by Charlie Spoonhour and was suppose to be very promising. He was not ready for this type of basketball. The run and gun style of UNLV with Banks and Dalron Johnson. He transferred out to Arkansas Little Rock and finished his career there. I do believe he is playing in Asia according to an Internet source. How i don't know they guy was terrible.
John Winston: Young point guard never really flourished in the UNLV system. Transferred out middle of Sophomore year to Loyola Mary mount. He started two years there but never did anything. He average 4 pt and 3 assists a game scoring 20 points once.
Lamar Roberson: He was a Kruger recruit and was suppose to be dominant after transferring from Huston. He was buddies with Wink, and Emmanuel Adeife. Roberson left the team because of lack of playing time well doesn't seem like hes getting anymore in Louisiana either. He doesn't start and is averaging 5 pts a game. He also has had some discipline problems and was suspend at the end of last season.
Emmanel Adeife: He was big transfer with Roberson from Huston and they thought he was the next best thing. Nope he fought with Kruger and was kicked off the team. He landed in Louisiana as well played 17 games and isn't listed on any roster for his senior year. He average 11 minutes and 2 points a game. Some big minutes.
Beas Hamaga: He was a five star recruit out of high school. He was suppose to be this great player. We all think he was garbage and transferred without playing a minute. He went to Valpo and is now transferring from there. Seems like he doesn't like anything and is not going to do much with just two years of eligibility left.
Deshawn Mitchell: He is another young freshmen who could jump out of the gym but would have never found playing time with the team we have now. He is now sitting out at rider where he can play next season.
Marcus Lawrence: He had praise coming out of high school in Vegas like Tavanari and Billy White. He got a DUI and was out of control. Then transfer to Idaho where he plays but very limited minutes. He also has been disciplined in their program as well.
Troy Cage: was another young recruit that just wouldn't have played in this rotation. He transferred twice after UNLV. Once to Louisiana with the other two and now is on the roster at Tennessee-Chattanooga. Doesn't look like much of a future.
Jerome Johnson: He would have helped the team but career ending knee injury. He is still a student at UNLV.
Doesn't look like we missed out on two much but if you think about the players we have from other schools it looks like we are finding gold mines.
