According to Jeff Goodman at Goodman Hoops, the UTEP Miners have received a commitment from transfer Jamal Bieniemy of the University of Oklahoma Sooners. Bieniemy, a starting point guard for the Sooners this past season, started 31 games averaging 5.2 points, four rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 34.5 % from the field.

Having two years of eligibility remaining and starting experience on a Power Five program that went 19-12, Bieniemy brings something to the table that no recent transfer has on thier resume, major program experience.

Starting 17 games as a true freshman for the Sooners, Bieniemy has played in 65 total games at a major program and is considered the Miners’ top signing this offseason.
