Former UTEP Player

Does not appear that he played in 2018 for UTEP, but played in 2017. Played in 24 games starting 7. Averaged 4.4 points and 3.1 boards a game. Shot 46% from the field.

Best two games were back to back vs Inarnate Word and Howard where he scored 15 and 17.

6'9" 250 Pound Junior from Richton, MS.

Update spent last year at Jones County Junior College where he averaged 8.7 spoints per game and 5.4 rebounds per game. Should give us some size in the middle with the loss of Gant.

He was the 4th ranked prospect in Mississippi out of high school and was committed to Ole Miss for awhile. Had a lot of current offers including LA Tech and a few other Sun Belt schools.

He moves well! What's his classification?

He will be a Junior after playing Freshman year at UTEP and Sophomore year at Jones County JUCO.

Ok didn’t realize that. I’m guessing Wilson signed in the fall. I’d seen a post where he just signed. Maybe it was an old post.

All three of the high school signees signed in November. From what I know someone on the current roster is going to have to go to make room for Smith.

Definitely need more attrition. Wouldnt mind seeing 2-3 guys not come back next year. Our bench is way too thin on talent.
