After leaving UNLV in 1991, Anderson Hunt played basketball in France, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Venezuela.
UNLV Basketball
In a lot of ways, UNLV basketball coach Lon Kruger walked away pleased after Saturday’s closed-door scrimmage against Arizona State.
Every day, UNLV senior Wink Adams has been showing up at basketball practice and seeing the same faces. He’s ready to finally see something different.
One of Joe Darger’s hobbies is playing the guitar. He likes country and hard rock and whatever falls in between.
This is how the game is played: A college basketball program signs a highly rated recruit who also considered a program of superior stature and tradition. In this case, Kentucky.
Before, during and after practice, several 3-point shots fly from Tre’Von Willis’ fingertips. The UNLV sophomore guard figures he shoots at least 100 of them per day.
Preseason rankings are mostly meaningless, and UNLV senior guard Wink Adams readily acknowledges that. He also admits he watches the polls closely.
With broad shoulders, bulging biceps and thick legs, UNLV senior Wink Adams resembles a power lifter. He’s one of the most physical guards in college basketball.
After a couple of months of college life, UNLV freshman Oscar Bellfield is handling almost everything with ease.
Kathy Olivier just keeps talking — she’s a college basketball coach, which means she owns the intrinsic capacity to yap like Churchill — until the recruit’s eyes flicker. That’s when she knows the proper button has been pushed.
It will be two months until Derrick Jasper is ready to participate in basketball practices and another year until he can play in a game for UNLV. About all he can do now is sit and wait.
Most of the time, Darris Santee is relaxed and quiet. He seems almost too polite to be a power forward.
Thirty-nine minutes after the scheduled start of UNLV’s opening basketball practice Friday night, senior guard Wink Adams jogged across a red carpet and led the team onto the floor.
Little or no buzz accompanied coach Lon Kruger’s first basketball practice at UNLV in October 2004. He was excited, but few others shared that enthusiasm.
