UNLV adding four to Hall of Fame

Three former UNLV standouts and a longtime Rebels head coach have been voted into the school's Hall of Fame.

Warren Schutte (1989-93), UNLV's first first-team golf All-American; wide receiver Keenan McCardell (1987-90), the first and only Rebel to score in a Super Bowl while helpingTampa Bay win the 2002 title; and Las Vegas High graduate Freddie Banks (1983-87), who connected on an NCAA tournament record 10 3-pointers against Indiana in the 1987 Final Four, were the players chosen.

Joining them will be Fred Dallimore (1974-96), who coached UNLV's baseball program for 23 seasons and ranks 31st on the NCAA all-time victories list with a 794-558-2 (.587) mark. Dallimore coached 11 All-Americans.

The class will be inducted at ceremonies early next year on a date to be determined.
