In the betting odds this week, three out of the four road teams are favored to win. The one road team not favored to win is Green Bay and the Packers have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers.

 

The Kansas City Chiefs went 11 5 this season and they have won 10 games in a row and they are favored by 3 points in the betting odds to beat the Houston Texans on the road. The Chiefs beat the Texans 27 20 in the first game of the season.

Brian Hoyer is making his playoff debut for the Texans. He does have a winning 15 11 record as a NFL starter and that includes starting 16 games for the Cleveland Browns. Alex Smith has a solid 68 52 1 record as a NFL starter but in three playoff games he's only 1 2 and he lost his only playoff start with the Chiefs back in 2013.

Ex Tejano has not answered because he knows he has very little chance of backing up his claim. I've been a coach in the area for more than a few years and I have seen more than a few excellent athletes get ignored by D1 schools (and some of those actually had the grades to earn a scholarship). It goes beyond just baseball. How many El Paso athletes in any sport received D1 scholarships this year? The El Paso area has over 30 high schools, accounting for about 10,000 graduating seniors each year and you mean to tell me that with those numbers the city cannot consistently produce one D1 talent in any sport! You need to remember that in some sports like tennis, baseball, soccer, wrestling, and especially swimming we are state powers. So why the poor performance in earning scholarships? As a teacher, I admit that academics is the bane of some of these kids, but that does not explain others. It seems that the only time an El Paso kid recieves a scholarship from a D1 school is when they are exceptionally good like Omar Quintanilla who was essentially the best player on the UT baseball team a few years back. ElPasoProud is asking a legitimate question.

 

I appreciate that Just a Thought and yes you are so correct, the same goes for many other high school sports throughout El Paso.

 

Take high school football for example. This past season there were a handful, about 8 to 10 of the most talented local football players who possessed the talent to go DI but did not. These 8 football players ended up WALKING ON to UTEP. That adds to the bad reputation that El Paso high school athletics gets from many throughout the State of Texas and country, where even the local University did not even offer atleast 1 of those 8 talented football players a full ride. When out of town Universities see Utep's action towards their locals how will they view our local athletes? That there is no talent here? That local athletes are dumb and rather decide to stay home and walk on to Utep? What image is it creating? I don't know what image but I know it's not a positive image that's for sure.

 

I am not coming here acting as if I have the answers or the solution to fix it all. I am simply asking for the facts and statistics so that parents and their talented athletes can see the problem that exist here in El Paso through a clearer lens which in turn could lead them in the right direction or steps towards a better resolution.

 

Over the years way too much local athletic talent has gone to waste and the bad reputation about our local high school athletes continues to increase.

 

Time to come together to solve this problem. It all starts with the facts and statistics. If anyone has them please post them so that we can start from there.

utep should make a baseball team to give those good baseball players a chance to play divison 1 on still get that chance to stay in their hometown and plus theres alot of baseball talent in el paso juarez nd chihuahua and i can bet you that utep cuold be 1 of the top rank baseball team in the country because in el paso community college theres no chance to go to the next level.

 

We tried it once already and they really wouldn't recruit El Paso Kids, they had to walk on. Plus UTEP can't be trusted, look all the great track kids here but they go to Kenya to recruit. Look in Football they signed Bump Phillips kid to a full ride for 5 years and he wasn't worth a when he finally played his last year They could have gave any kid in El Paso for 5 years and he could have done better than that kid, UTEP can't be trusted to recruit El Paso Kids plus they will cry about money like always. No find other ways to get your kids to D 1, I'll tell you what, the best way is to make sure your kids have good grades then get a full academic scholarship and walk on at the school of their choice.

 

If UTEP truly and seriously cares about the city of El Paso and its local high school athletes, say for example in the sport of football, they can offer ATLEAST partial scholarships to 10 locals from out of just 1 full scholarship.

 

Seriously how many high school football players that Utep recruited from out of town have screwed up royally their full ride by failing to produce results for the team or dropping out? Cheap coach purses Way to many I'm sure! Anyone has the statistic, please share.

 

If UTEP truly and seriously believes in their YES WE CAN campaign for El Paso and their University then YES THEY CAN believe in our local talented high school football players by atleast offering them partial scholarships by using 1 of their full scholarships.

 

This year UTEP offered like 8 to 10 local talented El Paso high school football athletes preferred walk on "OPPORTUNITIES". Sure UTEP wants to save the scholarships for out of town athletes and get locals to walk on with them getting financial aid or some form of Pell grant. That I see as an insult not an opportunity. How Authentic nfl jerseys can it be an opportunity if you hardly get any serious practice time or reps during practice? Anyone have statistics of locals walking on to UTEP as a preferred walk on then later dropping out of the team for whatever the reason. This statistic would help as well.

 

FACT: Division I University football coaches have the power or ability to split up scholarships. So if UTEP was to use 1 scholarship and split it up between 10 local El Paso Jerseys from china high school football athletes they can by rule and within their power to do so!!! We would then have 10 local El Paso high school football athletes receiving partial scholarships at UTEP every single year. That would help the local athletes financial need and the bad reputation about El Paso's high school athletics as well as Utep's immensely.

 

1 full scholarship split up to 10 local El Paso high school football athletes. UTEP giving out partial scholarships I believe would be a great start.

 

If you do not like my idea don't bash it and insult me but rather post your own idea or solution and we'll see where we'll go from there.

 

TRUE: While recruiting companies have been around a long time, there has been a surge in the number of companies attempting to promote athletes over the Internet claiming that if you put an online profile of yourself on their system, coaches will find you. While there are rare cases of this happening, the research we have done and the feedback Authentic nfl jerseys we have received on these services is very poor. If you have good grades and good SAT scores but maybe failed english your freshman, you may be in trouble. Read the letter and respond to it, whether you are interested in the school or not
