Two months ago, UNLV fans were dumping on Coach Marvin Menzies

Now, he's Marvelous Marvin.

Because ...

6-foot-7 Anthony Smith, out of Yuba College, signed on first. Nobody can out-jump Smith.

Then it was highly touted 6-foot-10 prep prospect Brandon McCoy who some are touting as a one-and-done.

Also out of the JC ranks, 6-foot-7 power forward Shakur Juiston came aboard shortly after the McCoy signing became public.

Right about the same time, 6-foot-1 prep point Amauri Hardy also became a Runnin' Rebel.

It's a whole lotta love for Coach Menzies now.

Ah, the vagaries of being a basketball coach.
