It’s like St. John’s all over again for Christian Jones, who for the second year in a row is playing for a basketball program under a first-year coach and on a roster dramatically different than it was just months earlier.
“I’m really kind of used to it,” he said.
Jones and fellow UNLV graduate transfer Uche Ofoegbu, who is making the transition from San Francisco, are being counted on as much to guide the Rebels through this turbulent time as they are to provide on-court production.
This is a UNLV team of many first-year players after all — only three return from last season — and experience is in as much supply as positive campaign ads during an election year.
