I wonder if that’s what Drake Fans said on their way to the second round of the NCAA? Not that Golding can do the same obviously, but I’m saying that’s the route they went.
UTEP Basketball Recruiting
- Thread starter minermx07
- Start date
If I’m being 100% honest besides maybe Terrell I never really felt a closeness as a Miner fan to anyone the last two years. That may be just how it is with the new NIL age. However I’m not obviously excited about Golding keeping his job. The idea of a whole new team is at least intriguing.
6-5, 175 freshman qualifier. 10.4 ppg,4.6 rpg, 44% from 3 on 3.8 attempts per game. From North Carolina.
Interesting strategy Golding going after his own players. 😆😆
Nothing solidifies recruiting like kicking him off the team and rerecruiting a guy. Some said this was a typo. I think it's absolutely true and Golding thinks he has Bynum right where he wants him. We're playing checkers and Golding is playing chess.
Pretty embarrassing that he left for what will most likely be a lateral move.
And these are the players that are hyped up by homer fans until they leave UTEP. Look at the schools that are being mentioned with these portal players. They will end up a mid major or sitting on the bench like Oyenma did at UT.
I don’t care that any of them leave, they should do what they feel is best.
Obviously they are not and I would venture to say most wont budget. Kinda sad to see, unless they are driven to finish school or learn another skill that can make them money.

The interest is so nice, they named us twice.
Gives UTEP better odds at getting him.
Who’s gonna have more wins: our football team or men’s basketball team next year?
Haha. Good question. It’ll be close. Mark my words.
It's so bad that UTEP won't even update their MBB roster.
Very unremarkable stats. Did play 12 minutes a game. EMU apparently can't afford to list players heights or weights.

Why in the world is Golding going after projects?
I can’t believe UTEP basketball is competing for players with the likes of Morehead St., Montana, SEMO and other low tier schools. UTEP basketball was a well respected program for many years and now this is who we compete against? Our future looks bleak, especially as we transition over to the MWC. Help me understand how our historically bad football program can beat out top tier mid majors and P4 schools for quality recruits, while our basketball team continues to struggle to attract and retain talented players. I thought our basketball program had it easier with NIL funds, while our football program was operating with no NIL funding. It’s a lot easier to build a successful winning basketball program at UTEP, versus a football program based on several factors like our previous history, small number of players needed and NIL funding. It’s very clear that Coach Walden has figured out a way to attract and retain quality recruits to El Paso, while Coach Golding is settling for mediocre talent. We need a new basketball coach who can win and compete with top tier mid majors and on occasion with P4 programs for recruits.
I was going to say the same thing: look at the schools we are competing for players with. SMH. Most of the schools we are competing with are not even good or average mid majors. And not only that, but we can’t even get these kind of players to commit to us.
And yet Wilson and Senter sit on their hands, with their face in the sand
I feel good about finding 7 diamonds in the rough that everybody else overlooked.
UTEP should be recruiting international and high school players. Fill out the roster with portal and jucos if needed.
Fire Golding for Godsakes!!!, he’s awful at Talent evaluation Geez! 🙄
I hear you, but the MAAC was tougher than CUSA this past year and the top half were good. MSM didn't light it up like a mid major like Drake but they were tough. I say welcome him.
