There are roughly 10 days left in the spring signing period and UTEP is still checking things out. The final day is May 16.
The Miners, of course, were all set until Michael Perez unexpectedly left the team.
Now there is a spot available but Miner coach Tim Floyd said they will only sign a player if they feel they can get someone who can help them right away — or just land a special player. There is, obviously, no rush.
Coaches cannot comment on recruits but there were rumblings about a trio of recruits visiting this weekend.
UTEP is going to be a good basketball team next year — and an even better one in two years.
On another topic, it has been a tough spring for Floyd. He lost his mother after a long illness and then his wife Beverly lost her father. Condolences to the family.
Why did Michael Perez leave the team? How has there not been an article on this? the guys was one of the leading scorers on the team and would have had a huge role on the team going into this season.

Perez faded toward the end of the season and the freshmen got more and more playing time. With the incoming group of recruits, he would have playd even less next year and two years from now. Wish him well at his new, smaller school

I think it's a shame when we lose a player of the character of Perez. The kid did lead the team in scoring most of the season, only player to make Conference player of the week, only player who made a all tourney team and you are ready to condem him??? I dont think next years team will be better than this years. You lose the leadership of Gabe and the scoring of Perez. How will we be better? I want to see what our conversation will be next year when Washburn leaves for the next level. We will always be rebuilding if we cant keep guys around more than 2 years.

Losing Mike Perez is old news. If he didn't want to be here or the coaches didn't want him here then good luck to him. They both have the right to choose. The blog is about potential incoming recruits (although not very informative at all). The names that I have heard about the most is SF BillyDee Williams 6'5" from Florida and C Matt Willms 6'11" from Nevada.
What UTEP needs is a 3-point shooter that can handle the ball and defend the perimeter. I'm hoping that Twymond Howard or potentially Williams/Watts can be that guy so that UTEP can go after an athletic big man with next years one scholarship

McKenzie Moore is the real deal. Watch out for him!!!

If Willms nor Dee Williams commit. Be on the lookout for high school junior Dominic Woodson 6'9" from Texas.

“I am proud to say that each of these shipments has made it safely to WIPP for permanent repository without any associated safety issues,” Gov. Susana Martinez said in a statement from Los Alamos.
WIPP accepts radioactive waste from government sites in eight states that had a defense mission. In addition to Los Alamos, they include Rocky Flats in Colorado and the Savannah River site in South Carolina.

please don't overlook art when designing these experiences!! i am a coast guard veteran, artist, and environmentalist, and have learned that experiences in the natural world can be powerfully reinforced when reflected through the lens of art (photography, painting, words, etc.).
