It's been a month since the class of 2016 was officially unveiled, now the attention turns to 2017.
UTEP has built up plenty of depth along the offensive and defensive lines in where the lineman count on both sides of the ball could be down compared to Kugler's first couple of full year recruiting classes.
Now with UTEP switching to a 3-4 defense, both inside and outside linebacker depth become a major priority not only for 2017, but possibly 2018 as well. How about a dominant pass rusher, anyone?
Wide receiver is another area that should be addressed in 2017 as the current group of wideouts are mostly veteran upperclassman who will be graduating after the next couple of seasons.
