    • More from the Twitter world. A kid named Ezeagu 6'11" 240 beast is visiting UTEP next weekend. The kid is strong, athletic, and specializes in protecting the paint. He looks like a project, because he is a bruiser, can't shoot, and would commit fouls left & right, but just DAMN. Please YouTube the kid. You won't be disappointed.

    • Big, strong, has a nasty streak.  Can't shoot, but runs the floor.  Butler is recruiting him.  That should tell us something.

    • Does anyone have anything? I know Likekele will be in Lubbock this weekend. I hope the visit is not to his liking. Also, we need some long athletic bodies.

    • Here is a pretty good interview with Isaac. I think we might get him but it will be a very tough battle. Right now I think it is 60% in our favor.[url]https://247sports.com/college/texas-tech/Article/Mansfield-Timberview-guard-Isaac-Likekele-Previews-His-Visit-to-Texas-Tech-117681178/Amp?__twitter_impression=true/url]

    • I read the interview & I'm not so sure UTEP is at the top. Those 2 Big 12 schools have a huge aspect we don't offer and that is a higher quality of competition.
    I also wanted to reiterate what I posted earlier and that is the type of player this kid is. He is not quick, he's not fast, and he  doesn't play above the rim. What he does do well is he creates space, he is strong, and has OK ball skills. I think what gives this guy his 3 or 4 stars is his IQ. His game reminds me of Marcus Smart (OK St/Boston). I really hope we get him.

    • It'd be pretty tempting to say yes to a school that made the Final Four the previous year.

    Unfortunately, Isaac did not create that picture or even place that picture on his Twitter.  That is just an edit that a UTEP fan made.

    Isaac did like the pic. Which is a positive.

    On another note Deon Stroud committed via Twitter lat Tuesday night.

    • Nice way to sneak that in Stan! Ha ha!

    DEON STROUD 6 5 3-star FORWARD HAS COMMITTED TO UTEP!
    Of course the fear that they never get into a Miner uniform still looms, but we have a new coach!  And he appears to be rallying troopers fairly quickly and effectively.

    Meanwhile Tim Floyd gets the Don Quixote award for his accomplishments in chasing dreams and a return to the old ways of knighthood.

    How appropriate this quote is from a synopsis of the Don Quixote story.  In this instance the princess was Hamilton--Don Quixote rides the roads of Spain in search of glory and grand adventure. He gives up food, shelter, and comfort, all in the name of a peasant woman, Dulcinea del Toboso, whom he envisions as a princess. On his second expedition, Don Quixote becomes more of a bandit than a savior, stealing from and hurting baffled and justifiably angry citizens while acting out against what he perceives as threats to his knighthood or to the world.

    • Stroud & Likekele are 2 totally different players. Likekele is a smart, create space, smooth, & strong player that will frustrate defenders. Stroud is an athletic jumper, race to the bucket, above the rim, and long 6'4", but plays like 6'7" player. This Stroud kid is a spark plug. All we need is 1 long kid like Marcus Canby or Antonio Davis & we can actually win the conference.
    I know that's a big statement with all Freshmen coming in, but we haven't seen this kind of quality recruiting in a while. Anyway, getting Diang and stud 4 or 5 position JUCO/transfer would make my day.
