According to Chris Vannini in The Athletic, his top choice is SMU

Rhett Lashlee not only has the top G5 transfer class, it’s one of the best classes in the country, period.

With 17 additions (and potentially more to come), the Mustangs have the No. 6 transfer class in 247Sports’ rankings. That class includes two four-star prospects in Texas A&M running back LJ Johnson (a top-50 player in the Class of 2021) and Texas A&M offensive tackle PJ Williams (a top-100 player in the Class of 2022). Other highlights include five players from Miami (Fla.), where Lashlee previously coached, and 13 total players from Power 5 teams. Lashlee was with Sonny Dykes when SMU was at the forefront of transfer portal recruiting. That has continued under Lashlee’s leadership.

The next thing is to see if the coaching staff can grow simply as coaches in their second year. Clearly they have some recruiting ability, and we were 14th in the country in offense, but I know I had some questions about their simple coaching decisions, especially on defense,
With the schedule and talent we'll have this year if the coaches can improve at their own jobs it could be a special year, indeed.

49 of the top 50 classes in the Portal Rankings are Power 5 schools.

The lone exception is SMU, ranked #6

We were also the top ranked G5 school last year when the G5 included Houston, Cincy, BYU & UCF

We know how to do this. Just do it legally. Can you provide a good job to one of these guys after their playing time is over. Join an NIL and let's pull this bandwagon to the promised land. Be one of the horses and help SMU win... BIG TIME.
