The most notable trait of UTEP’s basketball roster is how lengthy it is.
A year after cobbling by with seven eligible scholarship players — and a practice squad of scholarship players biding a transfer year — the Miners begin this season with 11 of their 13 scholarship players ready to scrimmage Texas Tech on Saturday. A 12th, Kaden Archie, is set to start playing games in mid-December.
There are five walkons, so a Miners squad that spent 2018-19 searching for bodies may now be seeking more basketballs to distribute.
