This ranking based off of the following criteria: Talent, stats, how valuable to the team
As the 2025 NBA draft approaches, we welcome a special guest to the show and conduct our own mock draft for the lottery. We offer our assessments of each draftee and clarify the reasons for our conviction that they will or will not be successful NBA players, as well as their potential contributions to their respective teams.
Bryce Dejean-Jones, a former Runnin' Rebel and NBA player, was known for his exceptional talent and unwavering competitiveness. One early morning, on May 28, 2016, after breaking into an apartment, which he mistakenly thought was his girlfriend's, Dejean-Jones was shot and killed. This episode is the narrative of a young man who, despite possessing an abundance of potential, was unable to achieve his goals due to his emot...

This episode is somewhat brief; however, it serves as a summary of Josh's initial month at HC and his exceptional performance thus far. I elaborate on the reasons why Rebel fans should be enthusiastic about the program's future and how he differs from other coaches we have had in the past. Go Rebels!!
Wow, what a past couple of weeks it has been for the Runnin Rebel basketball program and for their fans. Josh Pastner continues to impress as he is assembling a roster that will be ready to compete for a MWC title right away. In this episode I discuss the new additions to the team, why this roster is so impressive, and I attempt to put together my favorite starting lineup among all these good players.
Simply stated, the episode description is the episode's title. I have chosen to rank the top 30 high school recruits who have ever selected a Mountain West Conference institution, from #30 to #1. These rankings are exclusively from 247 Sports and, regrettably, only back to 2010. Therefore, any high-profile recruits, such as Kawhi Leonard or Wink Adams, will not be included.
In this episode of TRP, I discuss the following topics:
-VGK win game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
-The latest players joining the UNLV MBB roster.
- Strengths of the 2025-2026 roster and what ways the roster could improve
-Expectations for next season
-How typical fans don't have an understanding of roster construction
-Reaction to the Nico Iamaleava Tennessee football story
In this episode, I discuss the public's perception of Pastner and the manner in which his personality is influencing a significant number of Rebel fans to adopt his beliefs. After that, I address the new players of the Rebels and their integration into Josh's strategy for the upcoming season. Finally, I discuss my former enthusiasm for message boards, which I have since discontinued. Enjoy!
This is a story about the UNLV Runnin’ Rebel basketball program. The narrative discusses the events of the past three decades that have resulted in the erosion of the national relevance of this once-dominant basketball program and the substantial decline of its fan base. It is the belief of UNLV basketball fans that the program has been cursed, as they attribute every negative event that has occurred since 1991 to this. By selectin...
