Very interesting indeed.

I was thinking maybe he had a connection to UNLV's head coach Tony Sanchez. Doubt that at this point, as Tony's been a high school coach his entire coaching career (since 1998) and was just recently hired to UNLV on December 8, 2014.

Someone suggested this back on 1/18/2015 on their Rivals page, http://unlv.forums.rivals.com/threads/possible-big-time-transfer-unlv-coaches-following.3540/

The Tenpenny and Kamara transfers seemed "affordable" at the time that they happened. Now, the program is really feeling their loss. Neither of these guys would be buried in the depth chart now, if they had stayed.

I think that the same "well-stocked to depleted" change is going to occur at the QB position too, depending on who gets the starting job this fall. The selection of Coker to start - since he is in his final year of eligibility - would probably preserve the status quo and keep everybody in the fold. At the other end of the continuum, the selection of Blake Barnett (unlikely, I know, but possible) would probably trigger multiple transfers.

Yep. Definitely a concern going forward.

Hopefully, Harris is a quick learner and can develop and contribute in their first year like, Ingram, Richardson, Lacy, and Yeldon.

Good luck to Altee. For the most part he was a good citizen his entire stay.​
