he enrolled in January 2010, after missing his entire senior football season in the fall of '09. So he basically finished school in 7 semesters, plus 3 summers mixed in there too. If you think about it, that was kinda slow..especially for a health major

I guess UTEP becomes a likely loss now? Don't know how good this kid is but he will probably make the entire UTEP team superstars with our luck.

No

He doesn't play defensive tackle and we already have a quarterback who is "highly regarded" but hasn't started anywhere, so what's the point of discussion? Are we to collect every quarterback who can't win the starting job at other schools? Unless they are big enough to move to defensive tackle, I say no.

Well, I mean, the guy who beat him out of the starting job did go on to win the Heisman Trophy.

Berglund has just as much potential as this guy and he's already here on scholarship. And as TFLF posted, unless he can rush the passer or stuff the run, he would just be piling on to the position that we already have decent depth at, at least for now.

I doubt that he makes UTEP much better than they were last year, unless they too, had a QB last year that couldn't throw an accurate pass more than 10 yards down the field, like we suffered through for 2012. If they did, then maybe they will be a loss instead of a win, but I'm still counting this as very winnable, at least until our team tells me something different once the season gets started.

Agreed -- much rather have three years of Berglund... good catch for the Miners though.

And as untJim says -- it would be nice to get some defensive line transfers in here.

Don't follow them all that close, but I do beleive they had a lot of issues at QB last year and that this was a big concern going in to the offseason

Remember UTEP just signed Lefty's son as a QB but he will be a true freshman and this kid will allow them to redshirt him.
