Isaiah Mack-Russell, a scorching sophomore guard from Winton Woods High, has officially committed to UNLV — and he’s bringing serious firepower with him. Averaging 23.7 points per game last season and dropping a jaw-dropping 43 points on 10 threes in one outing, Mack-Russell was the Eastern Cincinnati Conference’s top player and had major suitors including Cincinnati and Xavier. But he chose the Runnin’ Rebels, who under Josh Pastner are building something special after an 18-17 campaign and a second-round NIT run. The future is bright in Las Vegas — and Mack-Russell is the spark they’ve been waiting for.

AJ Storr, a high-flying scorer and seasoned guard, has officially committed to UNLV for the 2026-27 season, bringing elite talent and veteran savvy back to Vegas. After averaging 15.5 points per game at Ole Miss and dominating the SEC Tournament with over 78 points, Storr’s versatility, size, and clutch ability make him a perfect fit for Coach Pastner’s rebuilding Runnin’ Rebels.

AJ Storr’s college basketball journey just got a wild new twist—he’s transferring to UNLV for one final shot, thanks to NCAA eligibility rules that give him an extra year. After bouncing between five D-I programs and four high schools, his path has been anything but typical. He started strong at Kansas but faded into obscurity, averaging just over six points—his lowest scoring output yet. A fresh start at Ole Miss turned things around, where he averaged 15.5 points and reignited draft buzz. Now, with UNLV as his next stop, Storr’s story is a rollercoaster of resilience—and fans are left wondering what this final chapter holds.
