Thanks to Mars Volta....and for the sore neck.

NBC News Channel 9 interview with Floyd

Sounds to me like Big teams are gonna get in Hunters ear about transferring and having a better chance at NBA with a Bigger School probably a Big 10 school, not starting a rumor, it just looks bad tight now and if he goes, Utep will be Fine and pick up amother recruit

If Hunter transfers he will have to sit out a year. I don't think that will prepare him for the nba. I hope he is mature enough to accept Darby's apology and move on with his next year at UTEP.

 

[Lucaminer]

If Hunter leaves it won't be because of anything Darby said. It has been out there for sometime he may not be back.

Very professional of Coach Floyd but you can tell there is alot of frustration there. Not only with Darby but with being in CUSA.

It's true that these rumors have been circulating since before the season began, but you have to assume that Floyd is going to try to convince Vince to stay. There is no doubt that he is not yet ready to play in the NBA. Darby might have made Floyd's attempts at re-recruiting Hunter that much harder.

If CUSA sucks so bad, why can't he win it? How do other CUSA schools out recruit us?

 

[nattybry]

STCarlos, your way off on your interpretation of what Floyd said. He said CUSA is better than people give em credit for, but the perception is that it's not which hurts in number of NCAA A A bids, not that Cusa Sucks! Also Floyd has had his two star PGS McKenzie Moore and Isaac Hamilton end up being dismissed and not coming to utep, year n year out Utep is top 1 or 2 in recruiting in Cusa. I don't think Floyd has been perfect by any means, but has met some bad fortune at guard and thats what wins in March.

During his radio show a three weeks back Floyd was asking fans if they knew the mascot for the particular CUSA school he asked about and everyone knew the answer. My point is this, I believe UTEP can not gain any identity with voters and committees because they are not aware how competitive CUSA really is and all over the place. UTEP had identity when he was here years back.

 

[miner1liner]

Carlos! You are a broken record. why don't you give it up or change tunes? Maybe you and your buddies could find something constructive to offer instead. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PUPPY DOG'S POLL RESULTS?

 

[T-6 Miner]

Until teams in the conference win meaningfull OOC games, CUSA will continue to suffer a poor perception nationally. And since conference teams generally perform poorly OOC, is the perception truly incorrect?

 

[nattybry]

That apparently doesn't matter, cause again and again teams like ODU, Charlotte the year before, before that UCF win Big OOC games are ranked and then lose in conf and the conf is perceived weak. Bu the way UAB looking to pull off first upset of tourney if they keep it up against Iowa St, Go Blazers!
