UTEP women's basketball coach Kevin Baker loves his recruiting class of seven players, who will join seven returnees on a roster that may be complete.
The next task is getting them to El Paso and there hangs an interesting tale of how the Miners organize their offseason.
Unlike the UTEP men, who have already assembled for eight weeks of summer practice that will give way to three weeks off in August, the women are not arriving until July 4 for the second summer session.
Baker does this because he doesn't want his team taking off three weeks in August, he wants a continuous run-in to the season.
