UNLV Basketball Happy to Gain Vital Recruit in Troy Baxter

The UNLV basketball team was in need of some good news in the off season. After a trip to the Bahamas, the Rebels have returned with some positive gains. One of those positives is that they have a new commitment in Florida high school basketball player Troy Baxter.

CBS’ Jon Rothstein broke the news on Twitter:

Why is this such a great gain for UNLV?

The last thing the Rebel basketball program wants to start is a culture where transfers are the only ones who want to join the UNLV program. Sure, their knowledge and experience may be a reward for the Rebels.
