Ron Meyer actually signed two players at SMU who were considered the No. 1 High School Players in the Country. Dickerson and who was the other? If you get it-you will also have to explain.

Michael Carter? Number one track athlete/shot putter?

Good guess. But no-but its something unique like that. There's a catch-you'll recognize it if you remember recruiting in the 70s and 80s. But let me assure you we are talking about No. 1 Rated FOOTBALL player in the Country. A true Recruit-nik or possibly a member of the "Naughty 9" would get this.

Charles Waggoner?

prob a kicker...

No he was actually rated the No. 1 Player in the Country(all positions)

Someone Meyer "signed" but who ultimately didnt go to SMU?

Did Meyer sign someone as a junior? Could you do that back then?

You're on the right track.

Russell Carter?

back off the track. Something unique about the rules of recruiting in the 1970's.

Face was splashed all over the DFW papers-this should give it away-but Ron Meyer's first HUGE commitment-and he was a Texan

and it wasn't waggoner?

Earl Campbell

No Waggoner was about Texas Top 25. This guy never played for SMU but he "signed" with SMU. Damn guess the "Naughty 9" aren't Ponyfans

What came a week after SWC Conference signing date in the olden days. Got to have some old coaches on here.
