I mean this respectfully, but why is Houston a litmus test? They beat TT but yes, it was a scrimmage and now beat NMSU.
Ze’Rik Onyema signs with UTEPMBB?

I'm not going to say this is the best Miner team in 20 years yet. Let's see what they do on the road first. If they can do well there, I'll start believing. The team is heading in the right direction though. The Aggies in Las Cruces and at Houston will be true road games. Not be all games but good tests nonetheless. We'll see.
I mean this respectfully. Maybe go back and read the thread again. It wasn’t me who said UH would be the litmus test, so you’re asking the wrong person. Try shovelshit’s latest incarnation. He’s the one who said it.
With that said, that’s one thing he and I agree on. UH will be a very good test for us to see where we really are.
I already see a turnaround. During the last years of Floyd we got beat by similar teams to New Mexico eastern and their likes. We also would get swept by NMSU. As early as the season is progress is still clearly visible. I’ll take 3-0 over starting 2-13 with home losses to Maryland high shore, south east side Louisiana, and State of Northwest.
More on Onyema. Seems that he played 2 seasons of Varsity at John Jay HS.
Junior season he was listed at 6'6" 177lbs. He averaged 6 pts, 5 rebounds and 1 block per game.
He was offered by UTEP and signed early after a strong summer.
Senior season he was listed at 6'7" 200lbs. He avereaged 18 and 12 with 1 steal and 2 blocks per game. 32% from 3 and 64% freethrows. He was team captain. He has a 6'11" wingspan and a 28 in vertical (about average for NBA players).
Seems like he is still growing and learning the game. If anything, Terry has a good eye for power forwards and has generally recruited the position well.

After watching his videos and his demeanor as well back in November I was really liking what I saw. Talent, attitude and unlimited potential. Good he can learn from Williams for a season.
Yeah, everybody has a past. Dimel has shown he’s stuck in his. Not everybody is. You obviously are not impressed with the quick turnaround CRT has initiated. I forget that you don’t necessarily have an eye for talent. It’s really tough to see the improvement in just one year’s time, huh? Has nothing to do with Terry’s recruiting efforts.
Can hardly wait for your enlightening reply.
LOL
Was this when we were 8-1 and actually playing well, beating some good teams?
It is funny looking at it now, I must say. But i would stand by my opinion of a noticeable difference in quality of play up until UH and then especially Hawaii, where this team absolutely crumbled.
****in’ shit stirrer. This came out of nowhere. I guess I deserve it.
I’ll take it double battered and deep fried. My crow, that is.

No. You posted on 11/15, so it was near the ENMU game. Miners were 3-0 or 2-0.
You guys think I talk shit just to do it, but I don’t. I know what am I talking about. Look at the rest of the posts. Pure delusion. After we beat NMSU in El Paso!
Im not going to go back and read them but I can only imagine the delusion, my own included.
It is called hope, broseph. Die hard Miner fans are thirsty for any measure of success. Miriam Webster defines “fan” as an enthusiastic devotee. A fanatic. The word is even embedded in my handle. Guilty as charged!
