And now CRT lets assistant Burton go.
- Thread starter MinerInWisconsin
- Start date
So with Terry it’s not the players that we have to worry about it’s the assistants.
I guess as long as Terry can keep the right players to stay, we should be ok. Tough couple of days for the program though, no doubt.
Kind of along the same lines, and speaking of the "right" players, I had the chance to catch Eric Vila in the NJCAA tourney play a couple games online. To say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. I expected a poor man's Penanva type (Marshall), but what I saw was far from that type of player. It was just two games, but I see just a role player at best. Also, his top seeded team lost to Ranger JC and old BCG. The kid from EP, Brayan Au, hit a clutch 3 to seal the deal for Ranger.

Grad transfer market is already loaded......
Burton was let go last week. He just didn't announce until today. The thing on Lamont just came out yesterday so it may have been kind of a blindside maybe.
UTEP needs to control the message. They get so damn paranoid about leaks that when adverse new comes out it is too late, they lost control and El Pasoans rain hell.
Looks like a spot reopened for Gilyard! You think he could be convinced to stay?
CRT just hired him as assistant. Built a relationship at Fresno. This man moved his family just had a baby. Oh but must have did something! Why the hell no one questioning Terry, I am confused.
Maybe CRT doesn't want to throw him under the bus. If he was that close to him, maybe he just wants to distance himself and not make it hard for Burton to get another job.
I will go on record as having questioned the hire from the beginning. Was not my choice, or even my second choice. The jury is still out as to whether that questioning is/was warranted.
He did gain some of my approval early on as I liked his gang busters approach to recruiting that got all of us so excited just under a year ago, but after this last season, and seeing very little in terms of adjustment, I am far from sold we got the right guy. I hope we did, but I don’t know yet.
It is clear you know some things we don’t...or you just don’t like the guy for whatever reason. I do share in your confusion, though, and expressed that just a couple weeks ago.
If we can keep everyone else, and if Terry can hire two quality assistants, this very rough day will just become a bad blip in our memories. However, if this type of thing perpetuates, we have a problem. Hopefully Terry can get this situation under control.
The timing of this makes me think the Lamont situation is related in some way. Why willingly lose a second assistant coach, along with recruits like this? Doesn't make sense
Here comes your new PG. Terry should keep this paper in his back pocket until he can find the right player or player with coach...
sooooo which of the recruits is first to hit the door out of the ones that we thought were going to take us to the top next year? any bets? more than one? sky is falling?? or does terry have an ace in the hole?
I hope Zarzuela sticks with us, but Wenzel and Zarzuela weren't exactly highly sought after recruits, nor were they going to play much (if at all) next year IMO. The other guys I think are Terry's guys and will stay. This just opens the door for more "varsity" players and 1-2 coaches who might bring them in. CRT may have something in his pocket as well.

Burton was let go a week ago. He just went public with it today. I don’t think the Lamont situation has anything to do with Burton.
Wenzel had interest from Army, Incarnate Word and UTEP. Zarzuela had interst from La. Tech and NC A&T but not what I would call highly sought after. I wasn't particularly impressed with either of them. Perhaps CRT wants to raise the bar recruiting wise.
Wenzel did just go and earn FIRST team ALL STATE honors in the 6A classification. FIRST team. One of like 10 guys in the state. That honor isn’t reserved for schlubs.
I got the chance to see Wenzel in person a couple of times this year. While it is a crapshoot trying to project to the next level, I felt his shooting would translate up to the next level. Looking at the current roster, that is a major area of need for this group. After watching Vila, I'm not sure he will help much to stretch the floor. Pretty much all I see as a threat from the outside is Boum. In today's game, you need guys who can shoot.
I completely agree. As of now, I’m a little concerned that our ability to hit from deep will not be all that much improved next year.
Maybe we should wait and see how Terry counters this first, before we all start with the sky is falling approach.
