OL Kelley Turner 6'4" 250 has become our third commitment. It has been reported that he ran a sub 4.9 forty at a recent football camp. He is quick enough to potentially play on both sides of the line. He sounds like an excellent prospect for the Mustangs !

The times when HP is a feeder school for SMU, the ponies usually have a solid football program. This is a good sign for the future.

...when was the last time that HP was really a feeder school for SMU? I would wager it was during the Doak Walker-Kyle Rote days! And that's not a bad sign at all!

early 80's- TD Briggs, Andrew Campbell, Craig Kennington, Kit Case, Lance Mcillhenney, Lott McIllhenny,Rod jones, David Richards, Richard Neely. Looks like a feeder school to me.

Thanks, Mickey. I should have remembered that! The days of the Pony Express and Mustang Mania. That ain't bad, either!
