Maybe sign up their qb too. He put that ball on target in some tight spots.

I hope we don't sign the quarterback up. He only completed 46% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. I am however really looking forward to see what our freshman QB looks like. I hope they can get him ready for the 2022 season.
Has an offer from UTEP today after an unofficial visit.
UTEP gets a JC linebacker.

"[Junior to be from Canutillo]...Martin has been busy going to various camps and visiting different schools on unofficial visits. Among the places include Baylor, SMU, Oklahoma, and SMU. In addition, he plans to go to a camp at UNLV later this month, and UTEP has shown much interest in Martin. "- EPTimes.com
Has offer from Baylor.
Nice write up on the new additions:
They're in the dead period right now. Starting September 1st they will be allowed to do a little more.
We need one of these bad boys on the team
Kid wanted to follow pops footsteps to Kansas State, but it did not happen. This is from last year:
"• Luke Seib, 6-4, 213, jr., TE/DL, Blue Springs South — Another tall, lanky receiver, Seib is expected to have a breakout season as a junior. He has already drawn interest from Kansas State, where his father Brad played tight end, and he participated in the Kansas City Showcase III earlier this month. He has been featured on the GoPowercat.com website for his pass catching ability at the Showcase."
It’s his. He doesn’t walk around on the sidelines with a placard reading about the history of Laverne and Shirley
An area where I feel that Dimel has done really well, is adjusting his recruiting to fit UTEP's weaknesses. While the rest of the country is signing more and more transfer portal players, Dimel mentioned that we have encountered some personality issues with the transfer portal guys and that he has begun moving away from that. I don't believe that we added any transfer portal players last year, outside of the K State guys, who Dimel already had relationships with.
Dimel states that with more schools signing transfer portal guys, it is leaving less competition for the JC guys and UTEP has had some success with these JC guys(just look at our defense). JC football can be tough, with poor facilities and bad living situations, usually in small towns. A lot of JC guys also have to pay at least part of their tuition/books/room and board, so when they end up getting to UTEP, they often appreciate their situation here much more than other recruits who haven't gone through those same struggles. It's a solid philosophy for a place like UTEP, especially when a lot of these JC guys also have 3 years of eligibility to play. With the roster built as it is, Dimel can also redshirt these JC guys so it's not such a short career for them. Based on all of this, I believe that we will continue to see more JC recruits and very few D1 transfer portal recruits.

Dimel definitely knows our DB's costs us at least 2 wins. Hitting the recruiting trail hard looking to upgrade the position.
For what it is worth:
"What does it actually mean? When somebody puts two fingers on their arm it means that they are revealing a truth or reality about themself."
Is he committing to UTEP? j/k
