It’s been only one week since the transfer portal opened but both of UTEP’s basketball programs have been hit with an early share of portal activity.

The fact that 18 former Miners are playing Divison I basketball is an accurate reflection of how the transfer portal has impacted UTEP over the last half decade.

The UTEP football team is looking to avenge their losing season in 2022 with a mix of returning talent and new players on their roster.

News dropped Sunday afternoon that the UTEP football program will be without their offensive coordinator Dave Warner for the future, as fans will see the third job opening for the offensive coordinator position in six years under head coach Dana Dimel.

On Saturday, the Miners will have a chance for their best win of the year as they face off against 24th ranked Florida Atlantic in a C-USA showdown that tips off at 7 p.m.

I’d love to have conversations with kids my age to see how they feel about UTEP athletics. The odds of the connection with the youth for UTEP changing is low, but one can dream.

The full UTEP football schedule for 2023 dropped on Tuesday featuring a few surprises ahead of Dana Dimel's sixth season at the helm of the program.

At 10-3, UTEP is off to their best start since the 2015-16 season when they started 18-1 and ended 29-5 with a WNIT Elite 8 finish.

Dana Dimel announced that UTEP signed 17 newcomers on early signing day. 15 of those are JUCO players and 2 high school players.

It's quite possible that Gavin Hardison could return to UTEP for his fifth season as a Miner, and possibly his fourth year as the starting quarterback.
