I wonder if Dimel will do a CTF and run off undesirables(lacking talent) to bring in more desirable players(talented) especially some JC desirables.
And i bet you Dimel goes after a QB and plays him right away.
He will just run them to death where those that don't see playing time ahead will quit. That's why he mentioned during the presser that he is going to look for players who can run. You may think he means speed, but he and Snyder were always known for working the players to death with conditioning drills.It happens every coaching turnaround in college athletics. It will happen. It will be more a nice talking to that you are not going to play much here and let us find u a nice starting position at a smaller school. Some players have probably been considering transferring. I expect the roster to look a bit different.

But I thought all these games against "the Texas schools" in CUSA were supposed to help us recruit the state of Texas. That was one of the reasons we joined the conference.El Paso geographically is a lil different. We may be better off looking at AZ, CA, hell even Colorado. If we think were gonna outrecruit UNT, SMU, UH, hell even Rice at this point were sadly mistaken. May be better to take our recruiting efforts outside the state of Texas.

Is Dimel going to want a specific type of QB coming into his first year? Speed and height? Josh Freeman was a QB i can recall the most from watching Kstate games. I personally can.care less.if we recruit Texas. They need to expand this recruiting effort and find the players most ready and can be developed. If a QB in Alaska exists that will come down and play and Dimel can comvince them to come be apart of something new that is what we need. Dimel needs to recruit and I hope he puts a staff together that can do it. El Paso geographically is a lil different. We may be better off looking at AZ, CA, hell even Colorado.

Every Miner game I watched this year I felt our players were outmatched physically and then on top of that outcoached. Only way you go 0-12. Arguably worst season in Miner history.
Does anyone think Kavika can succeed under Dimel?
That was the biggest crock ive ever heard. But they did try and pull that. El Paso , a city closer to AZ, New Mexico then to the other side of Texas. We should be looking at potential recruits from.there. Hell Colorado took a QB from El Paso. In my opinion recruiting Texas is whats hurt us. Werr bringing in 7th 8th pickings of whats left. Most of the players but not all should be playing at a different level. Why not recruit a state with less Univerisities to contend with. Do we even look at AZ, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado. Broaden our horizons a bit. Like I said go find us a quarterback out in Alaska if Dimel and co, can go find a way to sell El Paso.

Dimel should go after the QB from Del Valle (Montez) and the RB from Parkland (Hankins). They are the next D1 prospects coming up in 18-19' from EP.
Not sure about New Mexico, but I know local teams that can't get anywhere beyond west Texas in the playoffs can beat the New Mexico state champs.
I am. Just pointing out the actual D1 prospects at his doorstep. If he doesn't need these guys then fine by me.Think bigger.

He's not going to say they suck in public.I think Fernandez gets a shot, but I agree that they will bring in at least one. Interesting that Dimel said he thought we were fine at RB.
Texas is a big state with great talent and that’s the reason every major college football program recruits the state. While I agree UTEP should go after the best athletes in El Paso, there are not enough good recruits in New Mexico or AZ to build this program. UTEP should continue to recruit Texas and expand more into California. UTEP needs to follow the Boise state model and go after kids who were overlooked by big schools and play with a chip on their shoulders. Coaches should be looking for hidden gems like the Jones brothers, Will Hernandez and Trace Mascorro and develop these players. These were players who were only offered by UTEP and we’ve seen how they’ve developed. Hernandez will be joining Jones in the NFL next year. UTEP may have to go the jc or transfer route go after some immediate impact players. I’d like to see our coaches set up camps like Price did (not sure if this stil allowed by the NCAA) to become more visible. UTEP needs to try some innovative things to go after recruits and focus on player development.
What about Metz if he outs in 20 lbs of muscle. He's a SR and can run and pass.Does Kavika, Torrez, Fernandez have a shot under Dimmel? Thoughts?
If Quad is healthy we are.I think Fernandez gets a shot, but I agree that they will bring in at least one. Interesting that Dimel said he thought we were fine at RB.

Yeah I think he'll be back up still though, to whatever transfer comes inTime to move on. He doesn’t have “it”. Not tough enough imho.

True, Damn it seems like our last few QB have been concussed way too muchHow many concussions has Metz had over the last couple of years? I think he’s the last guy you want running at the QB position.
I think we are ok at CB next year too.Running backs are about the only position we are ok at. He needs to find kicker fast. We would have not been 0-12, if that great offense mind we had as a coach hadn’t forgot about the kicking game.
Agree with those that say Dimel will bring in a JC or transfer QB that fits his scheme and I believer he will take a long look at Kavika, maybe as a backup, because he is tougher physically and can run well too.
He was asked if he has evaluated players yet. He specifically mentioned the RB group as being solid. He didn't have to mention anybody, let alone hide an opinion that the RB group was no good.He's not going to say they suck in public.
