Hampton was always one of my favorite players, and his insights will be a great addition here. Welcome, John!

Great article John and let us not forget that Orsini made this excellent hire of Strength Coach Vic Viloria. No question, Coach Viloria's program is going to make a positive difference on this years football team. When potential recruits see and understand the benefits of this strength program, it should have a positive impact on recruiting as well. Coach Viloria's sincere personal loyality to SMU and interest in helping SMU develope a Championship program is also very important.

Any recruit who thinks Vic's SMU spirit is just lip service should get a look at the Mustang tattoo he has on his bicep. This man LIVES for SMU.
