During the Tim Floyd era at UTEP, basketball players transferring to other schools hit record numbers.

In seven seasons at the helm of the Miners, Floyd saw 24 players transfer away from the school. During the 2017-18 offseason and preseason, eight players departed, crippling the team and possibly speeding the retirement of the Don Haskins’ protégé in Floyd.

New head coach Rodney Terry arrived from Fresno State with hopes of shifting the culture at UTEP to a winning one, but that might not mean that more players stay in the orange and blue from season to season.
