Miners announce final hoop recruit, Costa Rica trip

UTEP coach Tim Floyd announced the final — and biggest — piece to next season's basketball recruiting class Wednesday

The Miners announced the signing of Joey St. Pierre, a 6-foot-10, 280-pound center out of Richmond, Ill. St. Pierre is added to the four players who signed early, the two — Isiah Osborne and Trey Wade — who were already on campus and the six returning Miners — Omega Harris, Trey Touchet, Jake Flaggert and inside players Paul Thomas, Matt Willms and Kelvin Jones — to make up next season's 13-man roster.

Floyd said next year's Miners will get some extra preparation and that will be helpful with so many new faces.
