Arkansas high school senior Hooper Vint has chosen UTEP.  Vint had been recruited by the University of Arkansas under former coach John Pelphrey, but narrowed his choices to Arkansas-Little Rock and UTEP.  In an interview with channel 5 news in Fayetteville, Arkansas Vint discusses why he chose El Paso and UTEP.  Thanks to our old pal John Engleman for the tip.

He obviously looks young and needs to fill out some, but with time and a good weight room work ethic he can hopefully be an asset to the team.  For more information on Vint, check out this site.
