UTEP softball coach T.J. Hubbard admits that after 19 years in coaching, 10 of it as a head coach, he's never recruited under circumstances like the ones that led to a 10-person class rolled out Wednesday.
Some of his first recruiting class at UTEP was assembled before he was hired in December, he added a few pieces before the COVID-19 lockdown, but what was announced Wednesday was the first official UTEP class of the first post-coronavirus era.
Every person in it had their 2019 season cut short by the pandemic.
"I don't believe in all my time I've had one like this in terms of the logistics," Hubbard said.
