The vagaries of college recruiting, the sheer inexactness of evaluations by so many different schools, raises unanswerable questions.
For example, how could Tyrice Knight have just one scholarship offer three years ago?
UTEP's star linebacker put in a productive 2019 season at Independence Community College in Kansas, a common stop on the recruiting trail. He has the frame (6-foot-2, 235 pounds), the quickness, the motor, the intelligence to play anywhere and all that was on tape.
UTEP coach Dana Dimel has one theory as to why more people didn't know about Knight, now far and away the Miners' leading tackler over the last three seasons as the Miners get ready to host Florida Atlantic on Saturday afternoon at the Sun Bowl.
