That former 4 star QB cannot throw the ball after a shoulder injury in high school. That’s why he was a tight end in 2021 at a&m. Feel bad for him, he has had bad luck. However, I agree that NMSU seems to have passed Utep quickly.

Oh wow a 1,2,3,4 punch at running back. Nothing more exciting than watching ground and pound football from back in the day.
We will win the time of possession battle but lose the game 35-14.
An upgrade at the QB position would have been nice.

Just be patient. We are on track and showing progress in Dimel’s 15 year rebuild plan. It’s only year 5 and we are almost meeting the expectations of having a 50/50 chance of winning. Just be ready to buckle your seatbelt because it’s going to be a hell of a ride when we go 7-5 in 10 more years and beat Northwestern Alaska in the CUSA Championship game.
I like the recruiting class so far. Big fan of recruiting O and D Line.
However, where the athletes at and when are they coming?

He would play slot receiver for us. He was that wing at Navy, catching pitches and Navy would hardly pass. He’s a little tough guy with great speed
Reminds me of Walter Dawn Jr when he arrived in 96
"Do you remember when Walter Dawn scored a touchdown against Oklahoma?" "Just barely."
5th now on ON3, 11th on 247.
UTSA signed one 4 star and seventeen 3 stars. UTEP signed three 3 star.
We only got McDuffie because Colorado let him go
It’s clear to see the direction each program is heading to. Utsa also signed many HS players, which is what you want to do for long term success.
I’m a Kugler believer when it comes to recruiting and the “stars” next to their name,; it’s has no significant weight to their collegiate career. His example was the recruiting of NorCal players to Boise who were on no one’s radar.
Mike Price’s best classes were the 2-3 years before Kugler. Then Kugler came in with his ‘stars don’t matter’ philosophy and 5 years later when his classes were mature, we lost every game, couldn’t score, and damaged for years.
When you can’t recruit ‘stars don’t matter’ is the line. Dimel said the same thing except when he gets a guy with 3 stars, he mentions it.
There are tons of examples of no stars and 2 star guys who become superstars. There are tons of examples of 4 and 5 stars who fail. But the evidence is overwhelmingly, if you can land guys with stars consistently, you win.
Dimels strength is definitely recruiting. I like his philosophy of going heavy on JUCOs, because the competition for those guys isn't as strong as it used to be (thanks to the portal). Trickle down effect. And Dimel has obviously increased the talent level.
I don't think star ratings matter, unless your school is P5.

UTEP must go heavy JUCO because they can’t win the HS battles. It’s a great strategy. What we need now is someone who can manage a game.
I'm fine with what Dimel's recruiting it's his coaching ability that gets me
Nice size, hope UTEP is able to land him. Any word on a QB with wheels?
