Heard that Golding is going to be hosting some of his most sought after (take it for what it’s worth) recruits this week and that includes recruiting assistant coaches too
UTEP Basketball Recruiting
- Thread starter minermx07
- Start date
Was wondering when I could see the Pecos JV HS prospects.
The transfers from Sul Ross, Northern New Mexico State University and Lenoir Rhyne University should be upgrades. Don’t worry…we’re in good hands.
Don't forget the prospects we picked up in our scrimmage game in Chihuahua this past season. There's got to be some hot 6'2" center we could attract.
GO MINERS!
GO MINERS!
I dunno man. THE Limestone University just shut down, which means their whole team is available.
Man can we just fast forward a year to the end of next season!? This is brutal 😫
I don’t expect UTEP to be competed with the big schools for recruits… BUT come on. Youngstown St., Lemoyne, Albany? Come on man… At this rate Fili may get a call up.
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!
Are there a quality Mexican or Venezuelan floating about? Bum Americans/Bum Latin Americans. Six of one, a half dozen of the other.

...and face potential deportation "mistakes", they better not have tattoos...
I agree anyone with a face tattoo should be deported. Great idea..👍👍💡
So this thread apparently has been completely derailed smh 🤦🏽
Looks like we're going to have a great 3 on 3 hoops team this year.
He has no eligibility left, but players that no longer have eligibility are being advised to get a 5th year.
It’s the NIL lawsuit plus the Covid year that many athletes received. Add that to the fact the NCAA seems to lose every lawsuit.
It’s pretty likely that athletes will get to play 5 years of college sports. Thus, Kevin Kalu is in the portal.
Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.
A lot of Seniors saying it’s not fair that because of Covid, guys got 5 years but now I only get 4 in the NIL era. JC players get more years now too.
It was stupid to give that Covid year to basketball players. Season was over for most schools anyway. I could see them doing it for baseball, but not any other sports.
Well if one can fall you never know. I just don't trust Golding whatsoever
If anybody deserves it it's Kalu. Hard working 4 year senior with a big body. I would actually have liked him to stay under different circumstances, but hopefully he can get somewhere else and shine.
If it wasn’t for his manos de piedra, he would be a a high quality mid major big man.
But, I hope he gets the extra year and makes something of it wherever he ends up.

Dang we’re going up against Juggernaut’s with these recruits! SMH 🤦🏽
I think since we lost our women’s tennis program, Senter and Golding promised them men’s basketball scholarships as an apology. So we only need a few more signees
