Wow. I wonder if this means Williams is staying for sure and/or another PF is signing soon. Or maybe that Archie will be dedicated to the 4 spot.
It's a race to see who loses more players; Terry or Trump.

It makes total sense that the troll is a Trumpster.
He obviously was not the player we all expected, so I say who cares, more scholarship room.
Bet 20 bucks on cash app he is.I don't think Williams is coming back.

I don't think Williams leaves. He faded a bit as the season progressed (per his expectations). Some not his fault. He is not even projected to be a 2nd round pick. I think he is looking to play in the NBA long term. He had plenty of exposure to NBA scouts here at UTEP.Does anyone know if Williams will graduate this year? If he is, then he’s probably also gone as a grad transfer. NCAAT teams will be fighting for his service.

Agree on Williams. I think he wore down as the season progressed; and teams adjusted to defend his strengths. In my opinion, Terry needs to add at least one interior guy to help ease the load. We need guys who can be effective on both ends of the floor. I view guys like Efe and Verhoeven as bench guys on a good team.I don't think Williams leaves.

The pandemic will blow over. College sports will hit the ground running. I don't better hear from him that he needs a "do over" or another two years due to transfers. He made this bed, he lies in it. He didn't over hype the team, fans and media did.Who’s next?

Shouldn't have run off Gilyard... That was the warning flag, for me.Odigie was plenty qualified to ease the load. Amazed he hasn't entered the portal yet. He may need work on defense, but should have played a lot more this season.
Terry will dodge a bullet if Odigie and William's both stay.
But even in such a disappointing season, he and Senter can claim success on record alone. Meanwhile, we're rebuilding for the second time in 3 years... cleaning up the same kind of mess Floyd would have had.
I hope you’re right. His final two were us and Oregon. These last two years we’ve been fighting to qualify for the conference tournament while Oregon has won two conference titles. If he put up those same number at Oregon would he be a projected second pick right now? I think the appeal to play for a championship team and close to his family will ultimately lead to his departure. But that’s just what my selfish self would do if I was in his shoes.I don't think Williams leaves. He faded a bit as the season progressed (per his expectations). Some not his fault.

True. Maybe we should warn him about what happened to Vince Hunter.I hope you’re right. His final two were us and Oregon.

he's on every draft radar by now.
This is a bad and uneducated basketball take.He obviously was not the player we all expected, so I say who cares, more scholarship room.

he wasn’t the player we expected because Terry failed to adjust to his players inside his offense and defensive schemes. Terry runs multiple four out sets which isolates BW and clearly Tarke is a slashing forward with a swing man’s height, so instead of creating actions with Tarke crashing the paint for layups, free throw chances, and put backs or offensive boards, Tarke stood out the three point line Jacked three’s and that’s not his game. Also to blame is the lack of a creative guard who could find Tarke on those actions.
Terry failed to use a high energy player who can effect the defensive end, crash the offensive boards and should score automatically from inside 7 feet but Eric Villa had more “skill” to Terry and Terry loves having a “stretch four” who he doesn’t have to develop and is a shot maker.
Tarke was an all-conference player for no reason. I don’t wanna hear how weak that conference was, Terry can recruit but can’t coach. He’s losing a player who can add value if properly utilized.
So use that scholly on a project big man from high school who turns into the next Hooper Vint? clearly why would a big man grad transfer wanna play at UTEP with how things are going and with RT licking Eric Villas ball sack?
I'm not in any stretch supporting Floyd's last years here, but isn't the complaining now with Terry at the same level as it was with him? To me it's two different factors. One can recruit and can't coach while the other was an X's and O's guy who could also recruit, but had some other serious deficiencies that dictated his end.
Terry is just contributing to the already long line of suckitude, and mediocrity.
This upcoming year was supposed to be Terry's breakout year. Dreams of burnt orange, Bevo and big money dancing in his head. Lol.I don’t think we’re at the level of frustration with CRT that we were at with the tail end of Floyd’s tenure.
I do however think we are at a deeper level of frustration with losing, or not being good. We’ve had nearly an uninterrupted decade of mediocrity, with a couple really bad seasons tossed in. It’s really wearing on most of us. Since Floyd had such a long leash, I think we as fans have “put” Terry on a short one. It’s the “not being very good” that is getting to me. If Floyd had gotten us into the tourney, especially towards the end of his stint, I think we’d have more patience with CRT. Terry is just contributing to the already long line of suckitude, and mediocrity.
Now we get the off court crap with a .500 x&o’s coach. It’s unbelievable to think but even after all the bs we put up with Floyd, his worst season was 15-17 that included a road win over CUSA champion Memphis and a win in the conference tournament. I think we’ve seen the best of Terry but have yet to see the worst of Terry.Floyd was a way better X&O coach, but his off the court crap/recruiting flubs were just too much.
Amen brother!Now we get the off court crap with a .500 x&o’s coach.

Yup and it took two full seasons my UTEP brothers.I'm not in any stretch supporting Floyd's last years here, but isn't the complaining now with Terry at the same level as it was with him?

I've said it a million times on digs, Floyd gambled on high end recruits and lost. Only problem was Floyd had a pair of 3's while his recruits had a straight flush. Now twenty years prior it was vice versa. His name carried weight and he used it like Rick Harrison; by his last two years he looked like Chumlee.I'm not in any stretch supporting Floyd's last years here, but isn't the complaining now with Terry at the same level as it was with him?
