UTEP received a positive commitment from a double-digit scoring mid-major transfer on Sunday that should provide a spark of optimism and excitement for the fan base.

About 24 hours since he entered the transfer portal, former UTEP forward Ze'Rik Onyema has received high-major interest from universities like Texas, Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, Georgetown, Penn State and UCLA, sources tell 600 ESPN El Paso.

It’s been only one week since the transfer portal opened but both of UTEP’s basketball programs have been hit with an early share of portal activity.

The men’s matchup tips off at 4:00 with the Countdown to Tip-off Show, followed by a 4:30 local start between UTEP (9th seed) and Western Kentucky (8th seed).

On Saturday, the Miners will have a chance for their best win of the year as they face off against 24th ranked Florida Atlantic in a C-USA showdown that tips off at 7 p.m.

As they enter 2023, the free throw shooting by the UTEP men's basketball team has been historically bad and it continues to cost them valuable wins.

On the heels of being dismantled 95-70 against NM State just a week prior, the Miners (6-3) are left to regroup ahead of C-USA play.

Despite the near capacity crowd to watch the Miners defeat to Aggies, how will fans support UTEP as they host five smaller programs over the next three weeks?

UTEP men's basketball hung in with the 12th-ranked Texas Longhorns on Monday, ultimately falling 72-57 in the contest for the team's season opener.
