Whiting, a junior guard who transferred to UNLV from Boise State, was limited to just two games because of a foot injury.
Hicks and Whiting join Rebels Dedan Thomas Jr., Jeremiah “Bear” Cherry, Jaden Henley, Rob Whaley Jr., Isaiah Cottrell and James Evans Jr. in the portal.
UNLV on Wednesday introduced new coach Josh Pastner, who replaces the fired Kevin Kruger.
