A quick note on UTEP’s top QB target

[Parker Thune]

Eli Morcos took an official visit to UTEP last week and the Miners felt very confident in their odds to land his pledge, but Tulsa got him on campus this past weekend and swung the momentum in a major way.

At this time, I am expecting Morcos to commit to Tulsa and UTEP’s search for their 2025 quarterback to continue.

Kevin Wilson’s track record of successful QB development and Steve Spurrier, Jr. for the football side. No comparison on the academic standing between the universities and a crazy low class sizes at a private University vs a public institution. City of Tulsa vs El Paso as a home for his time in school no comparison.

I think it's there is other young QBs in front of him. Idk Tulsa's QB situation but there is about 3 QBs in front of him if he came to Utep. He isnt a top notch recruit that would be able to jump them all.

I don't know who you are but you must be from Tulsa. I will agree with your first 2 points but UTEP is rated as a top tier academic university. I have relatives who live in Tulsa because they transferred there for work more than 20 years ago . they are from Illinois and say they can't wait to get out of Tulsa. The couple of times I have gone to visit I can see why.

You’re spot on. Why anyone would pick a city in Oklahoma over El Paso is beyond me.

The NBA did.

The NBA did.

If we were the only major city in the state they would have done the same.

The NBA did.

OKC and Tulsa are 2 different places. When the NBA team has a team in Tulsa, come talk to me.

As for the recruit picking Tulsa over UTEP, well hate to break it to you ladies, but UTEP hasn’t done much in the last 15-20 years.

Score one for Fili!

You win some. You lose some. UTEP just picked up a verbal commit from a QB as well. Let's move and wish Morcos well with HIS decision.
