Ha, I got ya! You thought this was football recruiting but its really basketball. The whole reason why I'm doing this is because we actually have recruits people care about in basketball and we have 5 recruits with an 89 or higher rating by Scout.com lined up for the 2011 Recruiting Class. UNLV's 2011 class needs to be good as we will have most of our talent departing after this season. I will not provide any analysis except for what ESPN provides before cutting off via ESPN Insider.
Name: Grandy Glaze
Position: Power Forward
Hometown: Brampton, Ontario, Canada
High School: Notre Dame Prep
Position Rank: 34
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 230 lbs.
Status: Verbal Commitment to UNLV
Glaze is an undersized power forward who plays the game with unrivaled intensity and toughness. He isn't especially skilled, or explosively athletic, but is strong as an ox and absolutely relentless attacking the defense and rebounding the ball. Glaze won't break anyone down with his handle but he still...
Looking at 2011 Recruits: Utah's Derrick Brown

Name: Derrick Brown
School: Utah
Position: Quarterback
Height/Weight: 6'3''/230
High School: Vista Murrieta in Murrieta, California
Offers: Utah, Colorado State, San Diego State
Date Committed: June 27, 2010
Recruiting Profiles: Rivals, Scout, ESPN, MaxPreps
Tim Tebow immediately comes to mind when watching this bruising quarterback play. Like Tebow, he has a strong arm and runs the ball very well. In fact, he models his game after Tebow, who was extremely successful in Urban Meyer's spread offense that Utah runs.
Comparing Brown to Tebow, who is one of the most successful college football players ever, is a little much but he does play with a similar style.
"The similarities are the fact that they're both big kids that think of themselves more of a running back than necessarily a quarterback," his coach said to Rivals.com. "Derrick likes contact. He likes to hit. He's 6-3, 230. Those qualities make you think of Tim Tebow's game. He's not quite to that level yet. But he's somebody that Derrick looks up to that plays a similar game."

Amidst the Pac-10 expansion madness where Utah was left out of rumors, Ute fans needed some good news... and they got it.
WR Reggie Dunn out of Compton C.C. committed to Oregon State in 2007, but is now heading to Utah after the Beavers grew tired of his academic issues. He was listed at a four-star WR by Scout and Rivals. Scout ranked him the 48th best receiver coming out of high school and Rivals ranked him No. 28.
The 5'10" 185 pound speedy running back ran an official 4.35 forty at a Nike Camp in Los Angeles where he took top honors. He also runs a 4.28 at the USC camp.

Name: Daniel Nielson
School: Utah
Position: Offensive Tackle
Height/Weight: 6'6''/278
High School: Hurricane High in Hurricane, Utah
Offers: Utah
Date Committed: February 19, 2010
Recruiting Profiles: Rivals, ESPN, MaxPreps
Utah's fourth pledge in the 2011 class was an in-state offensive lineman from 3A Hurricane with great size and potential. He is Utah's second offensive lineman commit for 2011 along side Isaac Asiata.
Nielson looks to develop into a big, strong tackle with his great height of 6'6". He is considered one of the best lineman prospects in the state of Utah. The big kid can also move. According to his recruiting profile he runs a 4.9 forty.
Daniel Nielson played on both sides of the trenches in high school and recorded 31 tackles in the 12 games as a DT in 2009. His Hurricane team lost the state championship to Juan Diego on a last second Hail Mary.
UNLV 2010 Football Recruit Analysis: Week 7 - Recruits 19-21

This is the seventh article of an eight part "Recruiting Trip" that will describe each UNLV football recruit. Each separate article will start off with the same introduction.
UNLV has a wide variety of recruits this year, as this coming year will be Bobby Hauck's first year as UNLV head coach. This class ranges from Defensive Ends to Running Backs and shows promise in almost every recruit. He impressed many people, including myself, in the job he did in such a short period.
Hauck was put in the top 25 recruiters by ESPN, given the late start he had, and that deserves some recognition in itself. His highest recruit that he signed was given a 75 by Scouts, Inc. and was a 3 star recruit, but when your coming from a team that went 5-7 its past 2 years and has literally no prestige under its belt, thats not a bad job of recruiting.
List of 2010 Recruits, their upsides, their downsides, and statistics:
Name: Kenneth Penny
School: UNLV
Position: Athletic (Not assigned a position yet)
Height/Weight: 5'11" 154 lbs.
High School: Lancaster High School in Lancaster, TX
Other Offers: None
Recruiting Profiles: Rivals, ESPN, Scouts, Max Preps
There was no information to give an evaluation of this recruit.

List of 2010 recruits, their upsides, downsides and statistics:
Name: Perry Cooper
School: UNLV
Position: Outside Linebacker
Height/Weight: 6'3" 220 lbs.
High School: The Woodlands in The Woodlands, TX
Other Offers: Buffalo, Kansas State, Iowa State, UTEP
Recruiting Profiles: Rivals, ESPN, Scouts, Max Preps
Cooper doesn't feature great athleticism or coverage skills, but he does show patience in stopping the run and going after the QB. His patience in looking for the gaps in the offensive line always gives him a chance of stopping the run or getting to the QB on a blitz, but if there are no gaps in the offensive line he can't really do much. He's not very big, very strong or very fast, so he can't really get around an offensive lineman one on one. His coverage skills are not very good because, like I said earlier, he's not very fast and likes to go after the interception a lot. The fact that is coverage skills are bad is really going to hurt him in the long run. The upside? He features great patience in the gaps. The downside? His coverage skiills are bad and he isn't very athletic.

Name: Jordan Robles
School: Utah
Position: Defensive End
Height/Weight: 6'5''/238
High School: Salem Hills High in Salem Hills, Utah
Offers: Utah
Date Committed: February 28, 2010
Recruiting Profiles: Rivals, Scout, ESPN, MaxPreps
An early commit for the Utes in the 2011 class is big DE Jordan Robles. He is the younger brother of Utah QB Griff Robles and looks to add to Utah's tradition of great defensive ends.
Robles, like his brother, is an athlete. He played quarterback, running back, defensive end and even basketball in high school. He has a 6'8'' wingspan and does a great job getting his hands in the passing lanes. He looks to be a force on the defensive front once he adds more bulk to his large frame.
