Now the Brison William is gone, who's supposed to be the Top player, is it Souley Boum or Jamal The Enemy ?

I prefer his uncle's nickname, Eric "Sleeping with" Bienemy. Hat tip to Chris Berman, of course.
Boum is our best player now that Bryson is gone. Not sure that's a good thing though. Bieniemy dissapointed against NMSU (2 assists and 0-5 from 3). Verhoven needs to rebound!
This is Boum’s and Bienamy’s team. Both are exceptional athletes but Bienemy is not consistent with his shooting and Boum, while a fearless player, over plays instead of letting the game come to him. Kalu is the future. Great upper body strength and explosiveness under the rim but he can’t be judged against a good NMSU team. That game was his first taste of big boy wear big boy pants basketball.
Boum lost us the game against Kansas last year. If he’s our best player we’re in trouble
Terry should have called timeout and regroup but Terry admitted he is a “let them play thru challenges” coach and he got that from Rick Barnes, his mentor. He did that his entire tenure while at UTEP. If we place blame, put it on the CEO.
What does last year have to do with this year? He gets an opportunity to prove of he's our best player or not This Year.
UTEP lost that Kansas game because they didn’t make enough shots and didn’t get enough stops. Yes, Boum turned it over, but that’s not the reason they lost.
UTEP lost to Kansas because the team thought the game was only 30 minutes, not 40 minutes. And also because we had a coach that couldn't match Kansas' adjustments.
No disrespect to Sibley, but he will need to step up big time if he is now our best player. I'm not saying he can't do it, but I had him as probably our 4/5 best player last year.
I think we will be pleasantly happy with Hardy.
Agree on Sibley. I'm just not super confident he is ready to be a consistent factor, especially at the 3. I thought getting a guy like Calvin Solomon would have been a big plus; someone that has produced at this level and has alot of experience. I haven't seen that Solomon has committed to any one yet, but it seems more and more unlikely he will come to UTEP.
