Sean Kugler said a few weeks ago that defensive play makers were on the radar in this upcoming recruiting cycle, and so far the focus has been to give Tom Mason a few new weapons.
UTEP has recently offered at least six known defensive players, and we know are involved with at least eight defensive players or more after the first week of the contact period.
Coaches were spotted evaluating, and meeting prospective targets across their recruiting areas like Texas, California, and the Mississippi JUCO scene to start things off.
The mid-year JUCO signing period is UTEP’s first priority according to Kugler, and sources tell us UTEP has hit the JUCO scene with a selective eye for guys who can legitimately help right away at needed areas.
