Under the Radar!!!

Was just gonna post the same thing. The one and only thing that matters is wins. Recruiting is a positive sign, but it's not the same thing as wins. Just like time of possession or steals. Nice stats, but the only stat that matters is how many W did you get.
Once I see a causal effect of recruiting = more wins, THEN I'll get all excited about the recruiting. Best I can offer right now is cautious optimism.
I get that, but people on here complained about recruiting being a main reason Kugler and Dimel weren’t successful. So Walden is proving you can recruit here, which many of us even doubted. So I’m excited, but of course want to see this equal success. I have said year 3 we will see the dividends, but next year 6 wins min should be the expectation.
I agree a lot of people said that. I for one never bought it. Look at the god awful places players go. El Paso is better than a whole lotta places players go. It's not El Paso, and it's not UTEP, it's the perpetual suckage that has hurt recruiting.
According to the rankings, only Boise State in the MW would have a better recruiting class.
I think the new NIL helped out a little. But It's not only Utep that is recruiting good. Lof of G5 schools are getting top notch players.
