    OT: Ominous Vibe

    Without getting into too many details, there has been an insane spike in the amount of cyber hacking attempts coming from inside of Russia since the invasion started last night. It's likely these cyber criminals are just taking advantage of the situation, but today has been havoc dealing with...

    According to Dimel, he was on campus last year and redshirted.

    According to Dimel's radio interview, either Bellon or Walker(HUDL link below) will be returning our punts next year:

    Jordan Palmer also said that Calvin Brownholtz would be a "great player for the Miners for years to come" and "UTEP fans should be excited that the Miners have another potential starting quarterback ready to take over the team in a few years"...

    Rankings can have value, but the JC guys are not accounted for the same way as HS guys. In UTEP's particular situation, due to it's large number of JC's, it is complete honest to say that the rankings don't matter. What is nice about our program currently, is that most colleges recruit JC's...

    Football Recruiting

    Just a little clean-up; some of the guys that we were in on and the coaches got to visit, but then ended up signing elsewhere, were: - DT to Fresno State. - DE to UNT. - DB to EMU. - WR to Utah State. I show 2, possibly 3 more JC guys, that are still unaccounted for(haven't signed with us and...

    Glad we got Bellon, I mentioned him last week. He should immediately help our return game. That was a position of need.

    IMO, Flores pretty much entrenched himself as a starting WR for Dimel last year. Flores was our 4th leading receiver on the season(both in receptions and yardage) and he is our 2nd leading returning receiver for next year. He also didn't really start playing WR full time until about 1/3rd into...

    We are likely looking at: Ballard, Smith, and Flores as our starting 3 WR's. Ballard is going to have to hit the ground running, with very little experience. He is a bigger WR. Flores was a better WR than expected and could fill the role as the possession WR. That leaves Smith as our only...

    Respectfully, that is kind of a ridiculous post. The 4 posts above this one described our recruiting class as "solid JC guys", "this could be a solid class", "Dimel has been a busy boy", and "I'm hopeful that we have a great signing day". There was absoultely nothing wrong or even negative...

    Some schools are coming in late on some guys that Dimel and company were on early. We'll see how many we can hold on to. As for need, we really needed a JC WR with top end speed who can contribute early. We had a shot at a couple, but don't have one yet. Losing out on Vaughn really hurt...

    Every other play on his HUDL video looks like he could be called for holding. He will need a lot of coaching in regards to his technique, but he obviously has the size and decent feet to work with. He is coming in early and should have 3 years to develop(although it is now harder to project...

    Maybe Dimel is the right person, for the job?

    There have been a lot of reasons over the past year, which very easily could have resulted in this program falling apart or at least result in a lot of things starting to come undone. All of these negative events have been out of Dimel's control; We were basically humiliated in the conference...

    Transfer Portal Update - Aaron Dumas

    I think the best hope for UTEP to find a consistent way to offer money with NIL, is if Mountain Star was to decide to help out and if they were to add UTEP players to their payroll(obviously, under the correct structure). It woud have to be a charity effort from Mountain Star, but if they could...

    Tyrin Smith - gone

    Before we talk about firing a coach, here is one side of the story: 1.) Player A enters the transfer portal and immeditately started getting followed by big time programs. 2.) Player B plays the same position as Player A. Player B see's the immediate recruiting attention that player A got...

    Cowing enters portal

    Hate to lose Joseph. Wonder if a decline is coming, in that colleges will start recruiting less high school recruits. Recruiting high school players just appears to be too much of a risk under the new immediate eligibility transfer rules. Let someone else waste their time recruiting the...

    Coaching Change Rumors

    I loved Hoeffer's only year here as DC and agree with the basic overview of your post, but you are way off on the Hoefer timeline. Hoefer was our DC under Nord during the 2000 championship year and was gone long before Price arrived. Hoefer also went to Kentucky from here, as opposed to Texas...

    WR Banks in the portal

    I first mentioned this Cowing scenario happening back in Oct. Hopefully he will secure some nice NIL money commitments for him and his family from the schools that will start to recruit him. We just have to get used to knowing that our top players each year will always have an option of...

    Specifically, what local kids do you want them to sign this year? This appears to be a down year for EP. Only 2 EP kids signed FBS yesterday. UTEP had offered both and they elected to go elsewhere. Not sure of any other EP kids this year who are considered legit FBS prospects. As Kickball...
