Tydus Verhoeven could be returning to UTEP men's basketball team

UTEP post player Tydus Verhoeven hinted on Twitter on Monday night that he will be returning to the men's basketball team under new coach Joe Golding.

"You mind if I stick around El Paso? @UTEPMBB let's get to work!" Verhoeven said on his account.

The 6-foot-9, 225-pound Verhoeven, who is from Manteca, California, entered the transfer portal on April 1.

Last season, he made 24 starts for the 12-12 Miners, averaging 4.9 points and 4.4 rebounds. He also had 21 blocks and 17 steals.

Verhoeven began his college career at Duquesne University during the 2017-18 season before transferring to UTEP under previous coach Rodney Terry, who bolted UTEP for an assistant job at Texas.
