UTEP Basketball Recruiting

Hearing Boum is coming back for another season.
I’m assuming you trust the source from whom you heard this. Somebody close to the program?
If I didn’t, I wouldn’t post it.
Huge if true. Now we need to get KK as well. I think TV stays.
Probably doesn’t hurt that then he scores the crowd finishes the announcers sentence yelling his name. Gots to make you fell good.
If he comes back he likely finishing, what, third in all-time scoring as a Miner?
Yes. 1431 points so far. If he averages around 18-20pts next year he should hit 2000 pts putting him firmly in 3rd place (Wolfram 1831 and RC3 2338).

A few games back during pregame prerecorded talk with him and Teicher he stated he loves playing for Golding.

Played 16 minutes over 7 games in the 2021 U19 FIBA World Cup for Canada. Seems like he has otherwise fallen off the map.
I was hoping for some new info, but not bad. BigDerickk needs to start jumping rope!
Hopefully he’s like Big Eddie from TCU. Doesn’t look the part but PLAYS the part.
I like this pick up. HUGE body. VERY raw, but can take up space. IF Marring decides to bolt, this is the replacement. The problem is, we will now have several bigs that need to be developed.
Interesting. Kappy doesn't usually just post stuff without having some kind of inside knowledge. It would seem like a long-shot to get either or both considering that neither has elected to join the portal.
Yeah and the transfer portal podcast took time to log in and give us a heads up wink. There is definitely smoke.
Would be good replacements for boum and bienamy. Now they need an athletic wing for Kennedy.
I think there is premature reporting on Kap's story and on here as well, but not by everyone. As stated in previous threads Bonke may be gone as well as Clardy and Giffa. I think Kalu will be back. He was a true raw freshman that has major upside. Maybe he gets redshirted to bulk up even more and get more accustomed to mid major ball.
For me it’s just a guess with Kalu. Maybe, maybe not. I found it curious that he didn’t see the court last night with the size they had. I didn’t hear of an injury keeping him out. Last game of the season. Even Giffa got on the court. I don’t know.
I do think we’ll have a surprise departure or two on top of who many of us are assuming may be gone.
Golding needed players who can score and defend last night.
I think Golding would want Kalu to stay. He still has time and redshirt and that is basketball value for the future. He'll put in the work (mid range, under the basket, foot work); his recruiting bio prior to coming to UTEP said his work ethic was his strength (which could mean several things).
Coach Golding has been saying a constant sentence the past few weeks on his post game interviews: "UTEP has value". Let be honest, would Bryson have gone to Tech prior to the Beard years? Probably not. Would Jans have brought in Teddy Allen if not for their consistent WAC runs which resulted in auto bids to the NCAA? Eh, it's debatable.
He has house money to play with that he didn't have last year.
That's my drift.
Hopefully Golding is not recruiting by 'net casting'. I'm not sure if any of these guys can help us now.
Who do you think was the best Golding recruit this season? Sibley?
Sibley. I think he has the most potential to become a solid 2 way player.
Where did I say that? I was just answering your question. Sibley did good , but the best recruiting Golding did was keeping most the core players. He only lost BW.
