Nearly 12ppg as a freshman is pretty good don’t you think?
UTEP Basketball Recruiting
- Thread starter minermx07
- Start date
Saving grace might be Onyema did not have a great year... but big men are coveted
We’ve already tried a Buffalo transfer. No thanks.
It will be like taking Hardy away from Southern Miss

Givance came from Evansville. You're thinking about Juwan Newtons (also from Evansville) brother Tristen (from ECU).
However, yeah Givances Evansville team won 6 games last year. Hardys Southern Miss team was awful as well. Being the leading scorer for an awful team can be a bad sign at times.
Well, hardy fumbles the ball while dribbling up the court multiple times a game, with pressure or no pressure, seems that be a pretty bad sign for a guard.

The tweet mentioned UTEP contacting him, along with a bunch of other schools.
Someone needs to ask Golding during the next call in show why aren't we aiming higher with recruits
I would be real interested in his answer.
I'd like to hear it as well. He may also execute a tricky way of answering without actually answering like politicians do.
Here’s a power 5 transfer we’re after. Hope it helps ease some of the recruiting worriers lol
I like the WCC. Santa Clara is a good fit. Herb Sendek is a good coach.
Golding needs to hook up with the UTEP boosters back west and ask to sleep in the cabana and steal some west coast kids.
Sure could use Sweet Lou right about now.
WTF does this have to do with anything? The Temple transfer simply mentions Santa Clara as a possible destination like UTEP. Who is Santa Clara a good fit for? Have you seen this Temple player play in a game?
I miss Sweet Lou. Gave great insight into UTEP athletics without spilling the beans and details. I remember years back he told me to go fly a kite. I still still wear that as a badge of honor.😝
Really surprised how quiet it’s been. Not sure if that’s good or bad. (Specific to who transfers)
It's not good. Golding is a poor recruiter. Even if he gets lucky on a young high schooler, they won't stay at UTEP. He needs to hire a recruiter AND change his thinking about how's he's gonna recruit (either that or our AD needs to take charge).
Also regarding the NIL money who knows what we are dealing with. For all we know the well is dry?
It took a while last season as well. I'm always interested too, but my excitement level is way down this year.
It seemed like it all came out relatively quickly after Southern Utah smashed us in the DHC, but that's probably just bad memory.
I also have low expectations for next season, especially if Golding doesn't make minimum two or three huge gets in the portal. This team needs two scorers atleast.
This team needs three shooters — doesn’t need high profile recruits — just three people who can specialize in making open shots —-
Let us know when you find them
Something I have never understood is how you can be such a bad shooter at the d-1 level….. I play maybe once a year and within 30 minutes I can knock down about 11-15 in a row from 3pt range which ends up translating to about 2 out of every 5 I shoot in a pickup game no matter the level — played against ex d-1 players - normal Rec players like me —- i just see it as players not putting the work on the Bball floor — maybe focusing too much on athleticism?
I will apply. I made a game winning shot during a scrimmage in elementary school that one time.
Any eligibility left? I wouldn't care as long as you can hit shots!
I made an NBA three just by holding the ball high over my head like I was looking to pass and just flicked the ball with my wrist without looking, nothing but net. (Larry Bird was my fav) I was king of the street for a day.
