Whether he can coach or not, he seems to have a solid core of "coaches" around him. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out. If he wins at UTEP, he's earned a big payday from a bigger school! lol
Football Recruiting
- Thread starter JCorona
- Start date
An out of state recruit here and there doesn’t make up for the scrap heap he accumulated under his tenure. The Jones bros, Hernandez and company couldn’t make up for all the deficiencies.
3 players…whoo (to 2step)
Overall Kugler was lucky the Jones’ brothers and Hernandez didn’t bolt
Again ... UTEP didn't offer Powell a dollar! That's not how NIL works. Utep or any other University for that matter doesn't pay players!
Semantics though. Money is flowing right into players' hands and they know what to expect wherever they sign.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
A) Go to commit list (on this site)
B) Select year (Kugler years)
See for yourself. I just went from my memory.
I am not defending Kugler, I was disappointed in Kugler's coaching at UTEP. Jones brothers and Hernandez would've stayed to play for Kugler. No doubt in my mind.
Yes, natty. I was just sourcing Kappy's and his side kick comments over a week ago on his radio show.

A few decent offers. Not rated but we need more depth along the DL.
That's an NCAA violation. I am sure you misunderstood what Kappy was saying.
Proof? I can guarantee Kappy didn't say UTEP had to offer Powell $50,000.
50k really isnt that much. Can Utep not shop around for more expensive players?
Powell has two of the top 10 turnover games in CUSA this season. He should give $ back.
Has NIL$ skewed playing time? Where does Jones fit in?

If Powell should give back money, so should Solomon. But I digress, this is a football recruiting thread 😀
Using context clues.... it would appear the old bat 2Step misunderstood a conversation about NIL.
Correct. The conversation was of course in reference to the basketball Miner NIL collective, which has made ~$300K per year available for the team. In comparison, UNM has around a $2M NIL available for basketball. Onyema received $250K to sit on the bench at UT.
I was just talking about that with my son yesterday. UNM is top 25 with a good coach and good recruiting. UTEP has fallen so far its ridiculous.
The sad part is UTEP is unable to even compete with schools that are at an equal level. You look at a team like LaTech, who do not report a NIL, and they are still able to win at a much better rate. This year, basically they added two difference maker guys (Batcho, Batcho Man and Chavez) and returned Crawford. That is an example of the type of players Golding needs to get. No bueno.
“ Though there are varying ways in which athletes can earn NIL contracts, the most common are as follows:
Accepting direct payments for promotional activities.
Receiving free or sponsored products in exchange for promotion.
Receiving free or sponsored services in exchange for promotion.”
His promo activities, sponsored products, services or direct payment were estimated at $50k, as I heard Kap and his sidekick guesstimate.
Christ almighty, some of you need to get….

Alright hijackers, back to football recruiting
That's not what you said.
You said: "UTEP had to offer Zid Powell $50,000 for his services"
UTEP doesn't offer money. If they did, then it's an NCAA violation.
It's for the 2025 class, junior day is the 4th I believe.
Army doesn’t get big hogs because they can’t compete with bigger schools for them but smaller agile foot lineman for their offense.
