I get where you're coming from as a UTEP fan, but you're missing the point about building a program in today's game. We've had guys like Jake Luton and Tristan Gebbia transfer in and become true Beavers who left everything on the field. It's not about where you start, it's about buying in when you get here. Our culture under Jonathan Smith was built on finding the right guys, portal or not, who would fight for the orange and black. You think Damien Martinez or Anthony Gould care any less because the path was different? They play with more soul than most four-year guys. The heart of the sport is still there, you just have to look for it in new places.
