No recruits, big problem

Last week Evan Tafoya-Vallo, a senior linebacker and guard at Rio Rancho High School in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, de-committed from joining UTEP’s football team after graduation.

No problem, UTEP always loses one or two commits before signing season starts. They will be fine without this multi-talented athlete, who can play offense or defense.

Yes, it might be all right, if only they actually had another commit.

At 0-8, UTEP football has been nothing less than disappointing this season—most coaches, players and fans would agree, to say the least.

The fact that Athletic Director Bob Stull announced his retirement in August and they still do not have a replacement yet when it is almost November is frightening.
