Almost all of them followed a coach to UTEP.
GJ Kinne did a similar gutting of UIW -> Texas St.

I can hear Scotty Walden at his first UTEP players meeting right after he's introduced to his new team say "I'm coming...and I'm bringing my own luggage...and it's Samsonite".

Between coaches taking new jobs and the wild west portal things are crazy. As a fan of any team you have to hope your coach retires and the replacement is on staff currently and loved by the players. If a coach goes to a bigger program he can take a good portion of a teams production.

One of the stranger ones is Sac States punter going to UConn. Don't know if he has family connections or whatever but that seems like a step down.
