Don't write anything negative about UTEP athletics specifically about the WBB pathetic program because your post will be deleted. I strictly followed the posted Forum rules but it doesn't matter because the post was deleted anyways. Sad that you can't have an opinion anymore. Freedom of speech is gone. This is a public forum but is ruled by someone who doesn't know what he or she is doing.

What did you write? We’ve been very critical of Bronzeing and even homeboy Walden on here.

I heard the new moderator is Keitha Adams. Maybe it’s coincidental?
 
Senter probably hired all UTEP-positive Deaver. We’ve been very critical of the entire athletic program and president so I’m not sure how negative your opinion was or if it was considered threatening 🤷🏽‍♂️

What did you post and what was deleted?

This isn't a public forum, so you have to follow the rules of the owners of this site.

Funny that you say that because Adams almost got into a fight with the Kennesaw coach after the game. I heard a commotion after the game while I was walking out of the tunnel and Adams said something to the Kennesaw coach about their team having "having swagger" and yelling other things I couldn't make out. The Kennesaw coach looked confused and didn't say a word.
 
I would never post anything threatening or disrespectful. I just stated the facts. Keitha and her recruiting of International players worked for a while during her first stint her in El Paso but those days are long gone. I know her top assistant coach focuses on foreign players trying to find that diamond in the rough but it just isn't working and the players she does bring in are average at best. I know college basketball recruiting is difficult especially in El Paso but it may time for a change. Someone younger who has the drive to bring some under the radar talent. Maybe some top players who may not fit the mold, but can play. Concentrate on ability at the guard position, not necessarily size. Focus on speed, shooting, unselfishness and defense. This I don't recruit under 5'5" for a guard makes no sense especially for UTEP. So you get a 5'6" to 5'9" guard who has average skills so what, I would rather have a 5'3 to 5'5" guards who can play and may be over looked because of their height but would fit in nicely at UTEP. You then start looking for the best available undersized forwards and centers, who play with heart and know how to block out, play defense and rebound. Stop just recruiting for size and not players! If you are lucky enough to come across an athletic girl over 6 foot that wants to play at UTEP great but there are a lot of very good 5'10" to 6' players with long wing spans who know how to use their bodies and are usually quicker than the taller girls. Focus on an up and down style with a crazy fast pressing defense that disrupts things on every possession. Probably not going to get many players who are rated with stars next to their name but focusing on the next tier of players may work rather than getting players who have the size and look the part but can't play, which describes most of their roster now.

I'm not quite ready to give up on Keitha yet. What type of NIL does the women's team get to play with?
 
Based on the last two years, including last year’s last place finish, what makes you not ready to give up yet?
Because her career encompasses more than just the last two seasons, including her first two seasons in her first stint at UTEP that weren't very impressive either.

That was over 20 years ago and she won 7 more games in year 2 than year 1 then.

Everything has changed.
 
Almost as many losses that season too: 15. Took her 6 years to increase her wins by only 4. 5 straight conference losing records to end her time there. Yea just give her time 🙄
Again, what type of NIL does she have to work with? Why pay contract buyouts if we're not going to give her replacement the resources to do better?

Keitha has been the UTEP ladies' best coach and was able to build something here. Her formula is to load up on international players and develop them. But if your expectation is immediate results, is she getting the NIL support to match those aspirations?

Yes and I wonder how UTEP's compares to Liberty and MTSU. I would venture to say that at this level of women's basketball the NIL is minimal.

What kind of NIL do our conference mates get is the real question. I have heard Keitha complain about NIL but for women basketball in CUSA, what is the average NIL?
