Anderson, a 6-foot-1-inch point guard from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, was the first member of the Rebels’ recruiting class. The other one, 6-2 point guard Josh Pierre-Louis of Roselle (New Jersey) Catholic High, also re-opened his recruiting process.

UNLV athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois is traveling this weekend to NCAA Tournament games as part of her search for a new coach.
