Coach Terry makes 1st UTEP offer / Basketball Recruiting

So what you are saying, Fili, is you are ok with not getting anymore guys to play the paint? Just go get more guards?
Look man, I like ALL the kids Terry is going after. My concern is rebounds, cuz we ALL know we won't be shooting 50% from 3s every night. We need to get a damn rebound. Also, when we play a team with a couple decent big men, how are we going to defend them?
We have roster room for plenty of guards, but we DO NEED inside players too, and I am just not seeing many more names out there yet....hence I was basically begging for one or 2.


I'm saying go out there and get players that can play in the D1 level. No matter what position they play.
 
Terry is unbelievable with the quality of these signees. The only negative
is that we have to wait till 2019 to see Tarke. Need to cheat and get him on the floor this year.
 
Transfers sit out a year usually. Someone able to look at the NCAA Basketball handbook/advise? I’m not being sarcastic!

Regular transfers have to sit out a year and this has always been the case. You guys must be big sports fans.....

Grad transfers are eligible right away and players hit by post season bans are usually eligible to play right away too. All those players that left Floyd had to sit out a year as well.

Same goes for football.
 
Hopefully we will hear good news regarding Bryson Williams soon. Adding him to the frontcourt with Tarke would give us a formidable duo in a couple of years. Then Terry can begin filling in with freshmen behind them to allow them to mature, but still win in the short term. Plus, we still have room to add more guys for next season.
 
We need a another big guy to seal this recruiting period.

Coach Terry and his staff have done an outstanding job.
I wasn't sure Coach Terry was the answer to our frustrations,
he sure is answering our prayers.

Go Miners...
 
Tarke a much better recruit than Likelele in my opinion. Has proved himself as a scorer already at this level, is a solid rebounder, and at his size will be a better perimeter defender. Add to the fact he gets a year to improve and get stronger. Tarke is a massive get.

Yeah, much better to have someone here 2 years, rather than 4.
 
CUSA be like

He has to wait a year to play? Why would he want to do that? Must have been pretty bad situation for him to give up a whole year to go elsewhere.That's a tough challenge for a young guy to deal with. Excited to have him!

He doesn't lose a year of eligibility when he sits next season.

Tarke has established himself. How many points has Likelele scored? Just because you’re a freshman doesn’t mean you will stay 4 years or even be any good. How many guys get here and can’t play?

That’s true, but Likelele might become an exceptional player. You’re getting pretty much a known quantity in Tarke. Tarke is a safer bet, but it’s not like UTEP had a choice in the matter. Tarke has established himself played Kennesaw St and Stetson, not like he was killing Arizona and Gonzaga.

I bet if Likelele had committed and Tarke would have gone elsewhere, your comment would be reversed.
 
don't feed the troll boys, he just wants to derail this tread that's been great these past two days.
I'm to high to be sucked into his nonsense
He has once again has verified his true being. With everything going so great and every one glowing with Glee; Droopy continues to spurt his negativity when if he were a genuine fan would be equally proud and happy.

Exactly. All of us yesterday welcomed Eze and today Tarke but if you notice there are two unhappy campers.

66 you answer your own question with a big ?.
Tarke has the experience Likelele has to gain that experience.
Tarke will contribue right away, once he plays.
Plus we need to get things rolling and not let good players get away.

GO Miners...
 
I think we will be a really good team really soon. Maybe even for the 2019-2020 season. Coach Terry is doing an amazing job. These are recruits that good schools want and we are getting them. It's a great feeling. A feeling I haven't had in the last 3 or 4 years of the Floyd Regime.
Still alot to happen, but how does this 2019 starting 5 sound....
G- Evan Gilyard
G- Isaiah Osborne
F- Anthony Tarke
F- Bryson Williams
C- Kaosi Ezeagu.... Sounds Good to me!

That lineup looks solid to me as well. Obviously, a key would be how Ezeagu develops, primarily on the offensive end. He is raw and young, but has nice physical tools. It just takes time for big men to develop. The other four should be able to compete at a high level in CUSA; potentially all conference type guys. Great start in a short time by Terry. I am looking forward to what he can put together in the Spring.
