That'd be awesome if they make it

I can’t remember the last time, if ever, UTEP signed a McDonald’s All-American

McDonald All-American at Utep

The only player I know of to play at Utep who was a McDonald’s All-American was Chris Sandle. Sandle transferred in to Utep from ASU along about 1987(?). Played two seasons. Quite a physical specimen.

has Twymond signed yet?

Last I heard he was leaning to Utep but other schools were getting in the race. Good to know, thx for the fanshot.

and by the way

Howard is tearing kids up. Put up 26 and 11 a couple night ago, and another 28 point, 18 rebound, 6 assist night like 2 weeks ago. The guy is solid.

I thought I glanced at an article that he might be up for Mr. Basketball in Mississippi.

I wouldn't doubt it

oh ok

So with these studs coming in who do you think is going to have to take lesser roles on the team? GM leaving opens up a big hole and I thought Vint really has a high ceiling, Idk….its going to be interesting.

Well I'm thinking hooper vint

is gonna lose out on some playing time. Unless he just really impresses in the off season and early on next year. Bo, Lang, WB Jr, and Moore will probably play most of the minutes down low. Both Julian and Howard will be 3’s and that will be an interesting battle. Julian is no doubt amazingly talented, but so is Howard. It will be interesting to watch it all unfold.
