Football Recruiting
- Thread starter JCorona
- Start date
That guy was also saying we would beat Oklahoma before the season started. I like his optimism but I don't trust his credibility
Before anyone asks, no it's not me. I would never say anything that stupid.
probably a homer who hasn’t been a UTEP fan too long, give him some time and he’ll see the light
Beat out Western New Mexico. What a get.
I will start....
Ezell Jolly, UTEP Miners, Running Back
Also runs track. Ran an 11.45 100 and a 23.89 200 as a sophomore.

Utep has no problem getting RBs atleast.I will start....

He’s a new UTEP fan, who is autistic, he has no inside knowledge. Cool dude, but can sometimes go overboard.
Abilene Christian just picked up three P5 transfers (from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech).
It’s about be 9 am EP time, NMSU has tweeted out some interesting and legit signees and UTEP has tweeted a got damn thing. ☹️
I think it’s legit to question the motivation and hustle of this coaching staff in lazy recruiting JUCOs and not hitting the portal hard or Texas HS kids or is it just zero interest from portal and HS kids and only the JUCOs want to play for Dimel? This is one the worst classes UTEP has had in the last 10 years and that’s saying a lot because there’s been some bad ones lol I’m frustrated with this program under Dimel man.

I would say that has been one of dimels strengths... recruiting fairly well. And focusing on JUCOs isn't necessarily a bad idea seeing as there is less competition for JUCOs. El Paso can be a difficult place to recruit to.
At the same time, I agree. This class definitely isn't looking strong. This program needs to find someone who can re-energize the program and the fan base.
I don't have a problem with Recruiting JUCO's he's gotten alot of pretty good players through the JUCO route and has built good relationships. Also, he gets guys that can be here for Spring Ball.
As far as the Transfer Portal, I don't get it. We did get the WR from UTSA and a DB from UNM, but when you see other schools sign 20 out of the Portal you have to wonder what we are doing.
This Class has 2 of the best recruits in the 247 era in RB Jolly and OL McDuffie. Also, Transer Dre Spriggs is a 3 Star. So there are a couple good names in the class. I wouldn't say its the worst ever. Not the Sexiest ever as they hit the Oline and Dline hard
I don’t care where the players come from either. UTEP is more likely to get good production out of a JUCO then some high school player that will just transfer out anyway.
"Jolly picked the Miners over Houston, Baylor. Colorado and several other schools. Assuming he signs Wednesday, he will be the sixth-highest rated recruit to join the program since 2000."

Dimel definitely has no issues finding RBs. That is great. He needs to find a QB now.
That's not Dimel its Barrick Nealy getting the RBs. I think Dimel should promote Nealy to OC.
Unfortunately he isn’t appear to be recruiting any QBs. We are stuck with hardison.
We signed a 3-Star QB in the early Period. Seth Mouser. Also have Kevin Hurley and Jake McNamara to back up Hardison, who Dimel obviously loves.
I'm interested in the Spring Game to see these guys.
Very true I forgot about Mouser. There needs to be a guy or two who can develop behind Hardison or can take his spot just in case poor play and/or injury. Hope Mouser is the guy.
That’s actually a pretty good idea you had. BN is a bright mind. I’d put my money on him being a head coach down the road.
He was a fun player to watch back in the day.
McNamara is everything his brother is with the exception of height. I was able to see him play here in Franklin, TN. He is talented and I hope he gets a serious look and some playing time in the fall.
To add to what Bigwood said above. UTEP is again dropping the ball by not getting Dimel on the radio today to talk with Kappy about the recruits. Instead of Dimel, Kappy with be talking to Kill during the prime time radio spot. I am not blaming Kappy, I'm blaming UTEP and Dimel for this.
8:07 mark DC touches on Miner recruiting.
Pretty good assessment by Dave Campbell’s on UTEP’s recruiting class. I’m really excited with the addition of Jolly and Gossett as RBs and Mouser at QB. Very glad we were able to pick up McDuffie from Parkland HS in EP.
