Money, more exposure, better competition.
I dont see Frazier as I high level P4 player ala Williams, but he would be a very experienced team player that plays hard and can contribute on both sides of the ball. I can see him in the MWC, ACC or Big East doing well. I hope he stays. Hes a really good foundation piece and he would be a definite leader next season.
Money. More exposure for potential pro opportunities
Yes, there is a NIL for hoops. This year it was around ~ $300 - 350K, from what I heard.
So for comparison purposes Z got $250k to ride the bench at Texas
Williams and Boum 1 million alone at least right? We are screwed.
I think they both got about the same as Onyema, at that time.
It’s gonna be interesting to see if we’re able to keep any of the freshmen or if they chase the money.
We are gonna need a coach that will generate interest and money right off the bat. Then that coach needs to be able to recruit and win almost right away to build trust, momentum and some semblance of retention. It's gonna be virtually impossible for UTEP MBB to get out of the hole now.
There is crazy money being thrown around, but I wonder how much of a market there will be for those guys. Perhaps DTJ as a Junior, but I'm not sure about either Horton or Jones. Plus, I would think UTEP NIL could come up with some type of offer.
Look at LaTech and even NMSU as a model. LAT just needed to add two difference maker players to what they had. You would think Golding would be able to do that, but that is not what happened. Then again, he has a chance to make it all right again this week. 😉

We are smaller than some of the other NIL collectives, but the bigger issue is our recruits not panning out. We have a larger NIL collective than Indiana State (they’re trying to reach 300k) but they have been smart with the money and recruited the correct players and now they’re on the bubble as a mid major while also being a top team in a more difficult conference.
We could have a $5 million NIL budget and it won’t matter if we get the wrong players and have the wrong coaching. Just look at A&M in football

We saw since season 1 when all he had to do was add one key piece. Even if he wins 6 in a row idk if that moves the needle for me. Sure he gets an extension and he ended the NCAAT drought. Man I miss those good teams with 24+ wins and regular season titles. We finished the regular season tied with NMSU. I can’t get that taste out of my mouth…
Some of us wanted to be like NMSU. Careful what you wish for lol
Heard that an ex UTEP coach has committed to forging an NIL program that produces a mil per year to add to whatever Steve Haskins is in charge of. Pretty good source but not an announced thing...yet.
Tim Floyd is my guess for some reason
He's got money, reputation and connections. I wonder if this rumor has any kind of time line?
Tim Floyd has experience with unofficial NIL deals but didn’t he hate the transfer market. Can’t see it being him.
I see what you did there. It won't matter about the transfers. At least we will have money to attract players, coming or going.
I wonder what Floyd thinks of Golding?
Is Foster still coaching anywhere? I don't remember seeing him or Davis at the unveiling of the statue.
It'd be cool if this was true, but it seems like such a long shot. Floyd is the only name who kind of makes sense... unless it's a football coach (Price), but why would he fund hoops.
I know Doc Sadler is extremely fond of El Paso and UTEP. He stopped me in Frisco during the tourney to talk when he saw my UTEP gear a few years ago. Super guy! Not saying he's the guy, but I guess he could be.
Assuming Vegas meant ex head coach, it could only be Floyd.
Terry's currently employed by Texas. Barbee's currently employed by CMU. Sadler's currently employed by Kansas. Gillispie's currently employed by Tarleton. Can't see their schools allowing them to moonlight for another school.
Rabadeuax's dead. Haskins dead. Harold Davis I'm pretty sure is dead.
Now, ex-assistant coach? How did G. Ray Johnson's post-coaching career turn out?

Besides the freshmen, one of the heartening things from this run for next year is that Camper seems to finally be becoming the scorer we thought he would be to start the season. Maybe just took him a while to adjust to D1.
I think he implemented more of a mid range game as of late, rather than just attempting 3s and monster dunks. Which has actually made him more of a 3 point threat too.
It’s ok. We are just waiting for those players that averaged 4 ppg to not get any better offers and finally decide on UTEP.
Where’s the recruiting inside info from our mod? Or does he only cover football?
Not a bad shooter/scorer. #19 on the top 100 JUCO list.
Assist to turnover ratio is 1:1, so he's not a PG which is what Golding needs. Still hoping for a transfer PG and PF.

It's early, I anticipate a couple of D1 transfer guys still.
“ Bynum was a consensus top-100 player and four-star prospect coming out of Simeon High School in Chicago, Illinois in 2021.
He also was ranked No. 73 by 247Sports, No. 73 by ESPN and No. 96 by Rivals as well as being labeled as the 22nd-best shooting guard by 247Sports and 17th-ranked shooting guard in the nation by Rivals and ESPN. The Chicago-native was the No. 3-ranked prospect in Illinois by ESPN and 247Sports.
Since his arrival at DePaul, things never seemed to click for Bynum who last played on Jan. 4 against Butler.”
