Coach Bennett always says he values quickness over size. So you can scratch Brandon Tittle and Lucious Alexander off that list. Or at least off the list of players SMU will recruit. He wants his guys big, but not if they're slow. And those guys are slow.

I wonder if Randy Denman can help convince Kharylake Martin to come to SMU. That kid is huge.

When Coach Bennett was talking about his first recruiting class, he said he wasn't "in to fat kids". But if they have mobility and footwork and strength and technique, big beats small every time at the line of scrimmage.
