WR Cole Beasley also. It is amazing to realize that all this guys listed here are all starters in 2010, besides those two who did not make their grades who were starters last year, except one. Shows what a great job these Coaches have done teaching/coaching.

oh but I thought it wasnt about someone who could x and o 'em up. lol

I think Justin Smart is a PB recruit as well.

Cole Beasley was one of June's first recruits

As an aside, I've been hearing a lot of really good things about Justin Smart this year. From what I've heard, he is expected to have a large impact this year. I expect we'll be seeing a lot of him.

he was supposed to be awesome but never really found the field. not sure the reasons why

I think it was because they rushed him onto the field as a freshman and he was not ready. Although he had a fast motor and desire, he was a boy among men as a DE his freshmen year. Watched him in on TV where he was just man handled by a huge OT in one game. Not his fault, he was just used too early. Then he got lost in the incoming talent of a new head coach. Hopefully he is now ready to compete on an equal level and can show his talents.

Since he committed before Bennett was fired, I think he falls under Bennett. Same with LB's Andrew Ellisan, and Braden Smith, and WR Cole Loftin.

all the years we struggled to put together an O line and to think that Bennett recruited almost the entire group of this year's starters. It's good to see they have all stuck with the program. It's really impressive to see how many of Bennett's recruits have stayed and developed into quality players for us

Ask Cole Beasley, fact is he was committed to SMU while Bennett was still coach here and before Coach Jones took the job. Cole was however a 2008 recruit and signed with JJs first class.

Do not forget 3 PB recruits who are now in the NFL.
