With all of the GTs combined with Morris' previous recruiting, we currently have a situation where we have a good football team going into a coach's first year.
That hasn't happened since the death penalty.
Previously, our coaches had initial recruiting success by promising immediate playing time. Even Chad boosted early success by doing that.
What is exciting about what Dykes is doing right now in recruiting is that he is the first SMU head coach since the death penalty to have a successful recruiting class (so far) without being able to promise playing time.
In fact, one could argue that Jank is doing the same thing for the first time in forever in basketball as well.
This is a very important moment in the athletic evolution of SMU if Dykes can hold this class together and Jank can pull in a PG.
