Coach Terry makes 1st UTEP offer / Basketball Recruiting

You’re right in that we haven’t seen him play a D1 game yet. He could be a bust for any number of reasons. My money is on the opposite, though.

What you cannot deny, even in watching just 5 minutes of film, is that UTEP has not had a big man with his level of raw athleticism in I can’t even tell you how long. If he is coachable, if he works hard, if he stays healthy, if he passes his classes, a lot of “ifs”, but if he has those qualities, he will be a damn good player.
True
 
I dont go to practices. I went to UTSA but im born and raised a Utep fan. I have played 1 on 1 against Antonio Gillespie a long time ago when he was at Utep. He was a cool guy.
Sorry, I just realized it was a different member. Sorry

You know what i think i did go to one practice. It wasnt really a practice more of yhem playing pick up basketball. I use to always go to memorial gym to play. Sometimes the players would show up and play.

Is that where you play Antonio 1 on 1?
 
That is wrong. It really is. Oh, well. Their Coach obviously stated..."Me first"
Yea. You only announce your college commitment once and the coach couldn’t even give him his proper respect. He had to go and rub it in his competition’s face first. Oh well time to move on. Good luck Issac prove them all wrong.

This is the actual tweet that OSU coach says he's coming to OSU

I don't speak emoji that well.

Well, let's move on Miners!
And how in the world can you decifer that, or that he is even speaking about Isaac in particular? The tweet is neat but very generic. As far as I can tell, it refers to the process of building his program. You guys are reading too much into this stuff...

Signing day is five days away. But today a top sought out recruit is announcing his commitment. Pretty simple to read between the lines and know who he’s talking about.
 
The UTEP response tweet within that timeline pretty much calling OSU coach out for "slight of hand" use of emoji spilling the beans on IL's big day that he wanted to announce.

His coach took the spotlight away from him on his big day.

Yep, that's what I was about to say. If I were Isaac I would be pissed that he leaked the news ahead on my announcement. I don't know if it would be enough to change my mind, but it would still piss me off.
 
"Slight of hand" speaking is a big deal in political punditry and perfected by federal politicians the last twenty five years; "Wag the Dog" language or "Dog whistling" language are very common terms used to attract certain constituents. That I know rather well. This millennialls speak is still new to me. Coach K poked at himself with a commercial about it a couple of years ago.

That UTEP movement account is not the official UTEP athletics, basketball team, or coaching staff account. So it is not a “UTEP” response. It’s probably some nerd with no connection other than being a fan/student.

You seem really gullible. I have some gold coins worth a lot of money I can sell you.

Yup. My parents would have popped a vein, but I'm an older Gen X'er.

That tweet was at 5pm yesterday ( and after they lost a huge 19' recruit to Kentucky). They also gained a commit today from a sought after PF from Canada. There is NO way one can say this tweet is referring specifically to Isaac or that coach is 'stealing Isaac's thunder or tipping his hand'. Isaac may very well sign with OSU, but that still doesn't mean this tweet gave it away.
 
I know the kids in school right now and you respect that but I wonder if anyone will catch on and tweet (or however) to him about this? Just saying. Sought after recruits have literally changed their mind at the last minute to announcement.

Hate to mention this again but I will never forget the Jaquin Iglesias to OU literally at the last minute. Somewhat highly sought after Texas recruit that committed to Price early. Stayed committed. It was LOI day and Iglesias was ready to sign with UTEP, papers on the table. OU called on the phone and said they will give him a scholi. He hung up and told Price he's switching to them. This is not my story, I heard Price tell this story on the radio some years ago. He killed UTEP when they came here.

Could it be that yesterday at 4:59 pm he received Issac’s LOI?

And please disregard me for now I’m a bit salty about losing Issac.

Gawd dammit Ax, here ya go. (Nothing personal):



What part of "taking a victory lap" needs explained or "#SpoilerAlert"?
 
Oh jeez, I guess it could mean anything. At least you haven't turned into a fact already like 2step.
Thanks for keeping the hope alive around Miner Nation. Hopefully in two hours Issac doesn’t confirm it as a fact.
 
I'd take my "Ford" over a Benz/BMW any day... :)

I do have hope for his family if they got word. I'd be pissed and put if off (cooler heads do prevail, but pendejadas are pendejadas at this level. Right Jeff Darby?) as a parent.

This really did happen to me with my kid and a small Catholic university in San Antonio. Just because they got accepted and went to a certain high school they "assumed" she was just going there and processed her in and took the aid. Never will I allow my other kids to even entertain them in the future.

If one recruit ends up at a Big12 school and the other at W Mich....are there others in the mix for May 16th to sign? What about the PR kid from Miami?

I put it on a mobile dyno one time (second pic) at a racing event, which stated 434rwhp/ 451tq, but I don't think that's accurate (a little on the high side). It's basically stock except intake/ exhaust.

The great thing about Terminators however is that they're built to mod. I have a smaller upper supercharger pulley, injectors, and heat exchanger that ill be installing this weekend. With a tune, I should be pushing roughly 480rwhp and 500tq.
 
Good stuff. I’m slowly walking away from the ledge.
After the Galindo and that highly sought after recruit over ten years ago (ended up at Long Beach State), I said never again. But getting excited about a new coach bringing in new energy to both major revenue programs that were on life support, that has me excited for the near future. UTEP doesn't have to go to the MWC or whatever. Just contend for conference crown, slobber knock NMSU when given the chance, and give El Pasoans something to be proud of.
