UTEP off season basketball news

[Coach Bill Lewis]

UTEP is have at least one player transfer. Christian Romine, who only played in 14 games this season has asked for and been granted his release. In addition there are rumors that Omega Harris is again having academic problems. He missed the first semester this past season because of academic issues. The rumor is that Floyd is going to kick him off the team (IMO this is what should be done). There is also a rumor that Lee Moore is looking at going to Europe to play. At least one of those rumors seems to be true because UTEP is hosting Katin Reinhart who is a senior transfer from USC. ESPN ranks Reinhart as the #5 available transfer this year. Reinhart is also considering Marquette, Alabama, VCU, Uconn, Xavier, Providence, and Texas. UTEP is also looking at UCF transfer Matt Williams. Williams was UCF's best three point shooter this past season making 55. Williams is also considering Wake Forest, George Washington, Rider, and Miami. As a long time UTEP fan I am getting tired of the revolving door that our basketball program has become.

i grew up in EP and went to go to the games at Memorial Gym and later the Haskins center.  I remember when the Sun Carnival basketball tournament brought in real teams.  The miners are my second favorite teams but the fans are kinda of annoying. Most miner fans don't know there is life outside of EP.
