If this is true (I'm not doubting it, but I just heard this through the grapevine, not through scouting circles), this is a real low-risk/high-reward addition. I was a little surprised when he committed to Mississippi State, because everything I had heard about him was that he was a guy who is ...

Taylor Reed is a guy I really like. I have him at 6-0.5, 185, but I haven't had updated data in a few months. What is accurate is that speed — this guy can really run.

He reminds me of former Kansas State linebacker/safety Josh Buhl. Reed is a couple inches taller, and (more ...

I saw the reports on this board about SMU getting the quarterback from Southlake Carroll, Kyle Padron. I haven't confirmed the offer, but I've seen tape of him, and he's a very appealing prospect. He has a good frame — I have him at 6'3" but the last report I got was in the spring ...

Absolutely.

The ultimate undersized guy who fulfilled the promise coaches saw in him to grow and develop into a college star.

Fantastic pickup for the Ponies. I'm sure the coaches have built a strong relationship with the guy, which is a good thing, because he will collect more offers — probably a lot more — before February rolls around.

A lot of rankings have Hughes as the No. 1 center ...

I've heard Coach Jones and a couple of his assistants are headed to Samoa within the next week.

Vince is a nice player, although I don't rank him as highly as some of the other Texas offensive linemen SMU is recruiting (Joel Gray, LaAdrian Waddle, Stefan Huber, etc.), but he's a good player. He doesn't have the longest arms in the world, making him a definite guard in college after playing ...

This is one of my favorite players in the entire state of Texas. The more tape I see of him - and I've seen quite a bit - the more impressive he is. (I have yet to see him play in person, but in addition to tape, I've also talked to several colleagues who have seen him in person, and they have ...

Love this guy. 6-1 and I have him at 225. Smooth, fluid runner who hits with real aggression. Doesn't tackle guys, he blows them up. Powerful hitter and runner who is a very good pass rusher off the edge, using his power to bull-rush unsuspecting tackles and uses his hands well to gain separation ...

I don't know. I'd call it a longshot, I guess, but not completely ridiculous. I hadn't heard his name in connection with SMU before Scoops' post, but once I read your post here, I made a few phone calls. Chances are thin, but possible, which would be impressive — this guy is a pure ...

Nice player who defies statistics — he's tougher than he should be at that size, and faster than the stopwatch says he is. More than anything, he's extremely tough. Has great drive in his legs, and powers through arm tackles. He's not a pure speed guy, but he's an elusive, slashing ...

Tomlin, to me, is "invited walk-on" material. He does move very well, but your report is bigger than any listing I have for him. Theoretically he could slide back to safety, but based on the film I've seen, he doesn't have a frame that suggests he could bulk up a lot. He makes a lot of plays, there ...

The Osborne brothers are an appealing pair, and everyone seems to think a school will take both in order to get Steven, the more highly regarded of the two. (My file says Steven is 6'3.5", 188.) He plays bigger than he is — he has long arms and legs, and is a terrific leaper. On the ...

Stealing this guy would be a major coup; I hadn't heard anyone had a chance to steal him. He's very impressive at TE, but there's a reason a lot of college coaches like him at DE. He has a chance — with a lot of work — to be a truly exceptional defensive end. For ...
