UTEP Basketball Recruiting

Ok real question 🙋 Are players that still have eligibility on National teams such as Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela, Columbia etc… as good as American D1 players? I feel like maybe it’d be wise to play to El Paso’s strengths and grab the best Latin international players they can. Not in any way saying that’s all they should recruit, but since Fili and to a smaller extent Ayala, I don’t think any Utep coaches have tapped into this potential. Now even more so with the NIL giving some of these players an opportunity to help their families. Also these players would receive even more love in a Hispanic community if they do well. Idk just a random thought!
 
Do yall remember that fat kid Tim Floyd brought in from Cali cause he could really shoot? I think he quit half season.

Are there a quality Mexican or Venezuelan floating about? Bum Americans/Bum Latin Americans. Six of one, a half dozen of the other.
