According to Rivals, over the past 4 years, SMU is tied with Tulane as the 2nd lowest in C-USA, ahead of only Rice.
According to every magazine I have read over the past 4 years, SMU's recruiting classes are at best average and at worst in the bottom quarter compared to C-USA opponents.
Don't know where you are getting the idea our classes are at the top.
When did I say our classes are at the top? All I said was if you look at the roster whoever coaches us next year inherits over what Bennett inherited, it's 2-3x better. Bennett went 0-12 with the roster he inherited, I don't think the talent level is close at all, although it's nowhere near what it should be
