That lends some optimism to a likely cellar dwelling rebuild season. Our 7 scolly players are gonna be studs next year. They'll be lean and mean.

That's great news for UTEP and CUSA. How many guys do you all have that are sitting out this year?

Ouante Campbell successfully petitions the NCAA and was granted eligibility immediately. He played in the game tonight, so we have a little more depth.
