thought this was interesting from the UTEP fan forum


Recommended Posts

Now we know what is wrong with UTEP.  They have no new recruits but they have a reason why:  Enjoy the El Paso Times article.

No it is because El Paso is in the middle of no where recriuts have never heard of before and know nothing about.  Even in Texas most recruits played all their games east of Midland and Odessa.  I have never heard of a El Paso are highschool team getting deep into the state playoffs.  Since realignment with tv markets being almost the exclusive concern; UTEP, New Mexico, and New Mexico State have become probably the hardest places to recruit talent from outside that region to.   The desert is beautiful but jarring for young people to relocate there.   Then the travel time cost to get back home on breaks is drastically higher for recruits not from that region.  Good recruits with choices don’t usually sacrifice that much for a spot in a G5 program.  Just imagine you are a recruit who live along the i-35 corridor  or east.   Of all the FBS programs in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana how would you rank the value of a scholarship offer?  Note top 4 are interchangeable in order

1. Oklahoma

2. Texas

3. LSU

4. Texas A&M

5. Oklahoma State

6. TCU 

7.  Baylor or Texas Tech

8. Houston

9.  UNT or SMU

10. Rice or UTSA

11. Texas State

12. UTEP 

It not an exact science of course. But generally a recruit with equal scholarship offers from programs in the top 8 would choose to be closer to home or chose the better program to UTEP.  And even in West Texas recruits would probably chose Tech over UTEP 9 times out of ten.

Obviously...guy is void of anything close to reality. I am going to go way way out on a limb here and guess the guy is a Democrat. 😂😂

That's rich coming from the fear mongering reality challenged GOP'er.  

Scared of the mythical Antifa. Claiming everything is a false flag. 911 was an inside job. Newtown didn't happen. Child sex rings in pizza joints. Crisis actors.  Kenyan born president. /facepalm

But the liberals are void of anything close to reality.

Just a tad over the top are you? 😂😂. Too funny. So, you are saying you think the guy writing this is a Republican or conservative? I was just stating the obvious. If you don’t think the guy is delusional in this, you really have been drinking the look-aid. Take off your hate tinted glasses and see this nut case for what he is....delusional. Didn’t call all Dems delusional like your tirade against all conservatives. Get a life man, lots of fun to be had.
