La Tech and SMU are completely different ...

He ain't gone yet, just thinking about it. Let the coaches have another run at him. They convinced him before.

However, until they post some wins, JJ, et al, will have a problem holding onto kids like this. La. Tech made no sense to me until I saw they won 8 games and were in a bowl game last year ...
