Perhaps it hasn't been the season that Scotty Walden and his staff dreamed it would be at the outset. After all, UTEP is a mere 1-8 as Walden's first season at the helm ticks down to its conclusion.

Many a coveted prospect in the Lone Star State shares Walden's vision for what UTEP can become in the years ahead. In fact, the Miners currently hold the No. 2 recruiting class in Conference USA and are pushing Middle Tennessee for the top spot. They'll look to make another surge this Saturday as they welcome double-digit official visitors to campus for the second straight weekend.
