UTEP's coaches have been out on the road recruiting since the end of the spring ball, taking a week longer than usual in previous years.
It seems like everywhere offensive coordinator Brent Pease goes to visit a high school campus there is a buzz, and some buzz was created when he offered highly regarded 2017 QB Cam Roane today.
