So you’re saying he will be another Anthony TarkeAnother player leaving with a deep reservoir of untapped potential. I'm sure we can expect that he will be a 10-12 points and 6 rebounds per game kinda guy wherever he lands next.
The only way I could see him moving up is if there was someone out east recruiting him out of HS and they saw the potential and see him filling a particular role. Otherwise, he will keep moving down the ladder, me thinks.If he's looking to move "up", me thinks he better have something that we never saw. If he couldn't make it with our talentless squad what does he expect elsewhere? He had ample opportunities here.
No great loss.
I speak a lot of tongue in cheek on here, but it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me if that's the way it turned out.So you’re saying he will be another Anthony Tarke
Tarke's season with UTEP was the outlier. Terry just refused to give him minutes while giving Vila over 20 minutes a game.So you’re saying he will be another Anthony Tarke
You bring up a good point, Fili. During his time at UTEP, Boum gradually developed into a serviceable backup point guard in his last season, but still struggled with turnovers and decision making. At Xavier, he has developed into a solid lead guard. The player that he has become, just like Bryson, is a better, more developed and experienced player than he was at UTEP. Good to see their work ethic pay off. In Boum's case, any realistic chance to play at the next level would be at the one, so this was a great move for him.I'm starting to question some of yalls criticism of players. Some of you said Boum couldn't play PG and he is one of the best PGs in the nation.
Boum had some choke jobs at the end of a couple of games in his earlier seasons, but I don't know who was saying that he can't play PG during his last season here. Boum showed great development and not just anybody can post a triple-double.I'm starting to question some of yalls criticism of players.

He had a triple-double during his last season at UTEP. He was more than a serviceable backup point guard at that point.You bring up a good point, Fili.

Yep, I'm a big Boum fan. Excellent two way player, which is a rarity these days. His ability to transition over to the one full time is impressive, and a testament to just how good a player he has become. I'm sure Bieniemy still tells him he is the better PG though. 😏He had a triple-double during his last season at UTEP. He was more than a serviceable backup point guard at that point.
Good for you. Hopefully more people will “follow your lead”.Here’s the long and the short of it – you need talent. As great a coach that Haskins was, in the late 70s and early 80s he got lazy on the recruiting trail and was regularly losing. Lucky for him, he had a recruiter that brought in the likes of Feitl, Juden Smith, and Kent Lockhart – all in the same year. That sets the foundation for the success in the 80s and early 90s. That was all Tim Floyd, and the limes of Russ
Bradburd. You need the horses. I don’t care how good a coach you are, if you don’t have the horses, you’re not going to win. Coach Terry is a great illustration of this. At Utep, in my opinion, he proved to be a mediocre coach although the talent level was decent. At Texas, with all the talent in the world, he wins national coach of the year honors and looks like a genius. Golding, for a good as a coach as he may be, will not win without talent. That’s on him and his lackluster recruiting. I am a season ticket holder and donate generously, but Utep’s getting no more of my money for next year until I see the final recruiting class.

Wish him the best, but he probably won't do well at SUU either (the WAC is not a terrible conference). He would have been better off going to a lower D1 school.
SUU just lost their coach, so they might drop a little bit too. They could get a Bronze coach like we did.Wish him the best, but he probably won't do well at SUU either (the WAC is not a terrible conference). He would have been better off going to a lower D1 school.
Now the Longhorns are seeing the difference in the type of Beard recruits to Terry’s. Mid players from UTEP and UTA.There seems to be a difference in the type of program Terry’s recruits transferred to and where Golding’s recruits are transferring to.
