UNLV Quick Hits:

Rebels’ class of 2015 target might announce decision sooner than expected

UNLV might get an answer from one of its top class of 2015 targets sooner than expected, as Indiana guard Jalen Coleman moved up his visit to Illinois to this weekend.

Coleman, a 6-foot-3 combo guard who attends La Lumiere School in La Porte, Ind., was in Las Vegas last weekend for his official visit to UNLV. He had planned to visit Illinois at the end of the month but decided to move it ahead. Now Coleman’s time on campus will overlap with the official visit of another big-time Illini recruit, Elijah Thomas, who was previously considering UNLV.

Coleman visited Notre Dame before the UNLV trip, but he’s now down to just the Rebels and Illini, according to multiple reports. He’s expected to announce a decision soon after this weekend, and he could be the Rebels’ first commitment in the class of 2015.
