🇧🇷 MinerTalk: Meet the newest Miner: Augusto Cassiá joins UTEP men’s basketball and went in front of the media today 🏀 The 6-foot-8 forward brings serious experience and international flair to the Don Haskins Center. A transfer from Ole Miss (SEC) with previous stops at Butler (Big East), Cassiá has competed at the highest levels of college basketball. Before college, Cassiá honed his game at two NBA Global Academies and gained professional experience with Corinthians in Brazil. Now in his mid-20s, the mature, explosive forward is ready to earn more playing time. Though his playing time was limited at Ole Miss, his athleticism and basketball IQ have coaches excited about the upside he’ll bring to the Mountain West. 🔶 #UTEP #Miners

🇩🇪 MinerTalk: UTEP added Leif Möeller, a 6-foot-7 sophomore guard/forward transfer from Evansville. The German product started all 32 games as a freshman in 2025-26, averaging 10.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and one steal per game. He ranked second in the Missouri Valley Conference in assists while shooting 37 percent from three-point range overall and 40 percent from the perimeter in league play. Möeller’s game features explosive drives to the rim, sharp passing in transition and the ability to score at all three levels. He delivered multiple 18-point scoring outputs and showed stretches of solid shooting from the perimeter. A versatile, high-IQ playmaker with size, Möeller gives coach Joe Golding a proven floor general to anchor a rebuilt backcourt. His blend of athleticism, vision and perimeter skill should fit seamlessly into the Miners’ up-tempo system as UTEP transitions into a new era. 🔶 #UTEP #Miners

MinerTalk: Meet UTEP guard landed Reese Miller, a proven scoring transfer from William & Mary. The guard led the Tribe in scoring last season at 12.1 points per game. He played a key role in William & Mary’s first 20-win season in six years, delivering 19 double-digit scoring games while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and adding 2.4 assists per game. Miller’s game features scoring from all three levels: three-point shooting, quick-release pull-ups, soft touch around the rim and strong play in transition. A Texas native from Round Rock, Miller brings familiarity with the region and a proven track record of production. Miller is expected to compete for a significant role in the 2026-27 lineup as the program turns the page. 🔶 #UTEP #Miners
