That is a ginormous pickup for the Mustangs!!

Committed. Makes the Ulysses Bentley IV departure sting a little less.

Massive! At least we upgraded at RB.

In the photo shoot at SMU that is done for top recruits, Wheaton is pictured wearing No. 4 — which already is worn on offense by Tre Siggers. Stay tuned.

Alabama website listed Wheaton last year at 5-11 and 190 pounds. His bio on rolltide.com:

That would be 8.5 yards per carry as a senior

Nice trade off for Bentley's leaving

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

This is just awesome.

Makes me feel better after the basketball defection.

Somewhere in Ft. Worth Sonny Dykes just kicked a trash can.

I wonder if the two are related. Did Bentley see this coming?

[Terry Webster]

I hope he can do for SMU what the Bama transfer did for Cinci.

Man I’m really finding it hard not to overreact to this tremendous news. Between Wheaton, Beau and Moore is it possible that our offense is even better than last year despite losing Gray, Roberson and Bentley?

Don't forget the OL transfers coming as they could be a huge part of any improvement on the offensive side of the ball
