Its been a good 7 days for UNLV Rebel fans. First Khem Birch decided he will transfer there next season. Then the polls came out and they are ranked as high as they have been since the early 90’s glory days. This is a program that is back on the map thanks to what is shaping up to be a great 2012 recruiting class. With the signing of Birch there are some whispers that fellow Canadian Anthony Bennett could stay in Las Vegas and play at UNLV. There is also hopes that hometown star and #1 ranked player Shabazz Muhammed will stay in Vegas with the help of his current teammate and UNLV pledge Demetris “TooMuchBounce” Morant.
