UN:V lands a prime recruit

Now they certainly aren't all going to be like this particular signing/commitment but check out the headline of UNLV's latest hoops commit: "Top recruit Rashad Vaughn chooses UNLV over Iowa State"

Here's a snippet from the article:
...At UNLV, Vaughn will make an immediate impact. Rice needed a perimeter scorer for next season, a player who can consistently knock down jumpers from the perimeter. Vaughn joins one of the top recruiting classes in the country (now ranked No. 5 at 247Sports), a group that also includes five-star forward Dwayne Morgan and top-25 prospect Goodluck Okonoboh. Morgan has NBA potential given his athleticism and ability at both ends of the floor, while Okonoboh is arguably the best shot-blocker in the country. Moreoever, the Runnin' Rebels will also return starters Roscoe Smith and Khem Birch on the inside, as well as point guard Deville Smith, talented pick-and-pop forward Christian Wood, and others. If all the pieces fit, UNLV will have as much talent as nearly anyone in the country -- especially up front. And now Vaughn gives them an elite-level scorer on the wing...
This is the level SJSU is going up against on the floor.

Yes, grittiness and hard work are necessary components in order to succeed. But there also must be an upgrade in the potential level of the signees coming aboard at San Jose State University. The lack of success this season and earlier will obviously be used against the Spartans by the other coaches, that's a fact. It's an unenviable task for Coach Wojcik and Company but some how, some way that must be overcome.

Jeremiah Ingram is a good start. A center or power forward who is ready to contribute right away is a must for next season or the building plan will need to be stretched out.
