Good job to coach Fox and his staff!  This is a very talented and athletic group of kids to add to a team with already some proven talent.  I am looking forward to watching this team in action.

Just one thing to note: Nevada's recruiting class was ranked in the top 25 before they inked Shaw, Hunt, or Phillips.  I think that the addition of these recruits enhances and deepens this recruiting class, and I would argue that it should be ranked even higher now.  Just about any school in the country would be thrilled to have this depth and talent in a single recruiting class.

Nevada doesn't have a 7 footer this year, but Fox isn't concerned that there is no one over 6'8" on the team.  Aggressive and athletic and fundamentals can often make up the size difference. 

One thing of concern for me is not necessarily of height but of girth.  Because of their athleticism, Nevada may be able to hang with taller players, but will they be able to bang with bigger/stronger/heavier players???  That has been one of Nevada's weaknesses the last several years.  I'm optimistic that they can do so.  We'll see.  I can't wait.

Yeah I saw this on Monday. Coach Fox and company did a great job recruiting the needs of our team. I know we may lack the height we normally have, but the players we do have coming in fill our voids in rebounding and playing defense (or so we've been lead to believe). I am greatly looking forward to next season. Should be some exciting times ahead of us. Too bad I'll be in Basic during some of next season. Maybe they'll do better without me having a heart-attack every game. Go Pack!

 Quite a talented class indeed! But it's going to be hard to gauge what sort of success they can have this upcoming season. They're on awfully young group. The only senior on the roster is Burleson. It is nice knowing the Pack will be a team to be feared for years to come.

 Time to start a new streak of consecutive tourney bids eh.

Great to see Nevada with a ranked recruiting class.  Let's keep that ball rolling.
