With unanimity, high school coaches who spoke with The Morning News said SMU could be “gold mine” for a coach who recruited the area well. Smith, Arlington Martin’s Bob Wager and Jesuit’s Brandon Hickman all pointed to Texas A&M wide receivers coach David Beaty, a former North Dallas and Irving MacArthur head coach, as a potentially great fit. Beaty is considered one of the nation’s best recruiters.

62 scholarship players from Texas

those numbers can be deceptive because of walkons but if you analyzed for scholarship players only you get the same kind of result

The coaches have spoken. Beaty is a good fit.

Morris HC. Beaty OC.

Didn't they also speak up for Jimmy Tubbs and then never helped him out? They always come out with these quotes regardless of if it is basketball or football. The fact is that you have to hire a head coach and a full staff of assistants that are going to recruit the area. I even faintly recall praise for June and the staff when they came on board for trying to recruit locally.

Flat out unacceptable for a program like SMU to not have a constant presence at every major high school program within 150 miles of Dallas. I think these first two games have to be an eye opener to Hart and the CoC in regards to our obvious lack of talent. This didn't happen overnight as those of us who have been critical of this staff's approach to recruiting can attest. The number one priority for the next HC is a coach that has deep ties to Texas (preferably Dallas) and can assemble a staff full of relentless recruiters who can walk into DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Denton Ryan, Allen, Mesquite, etc. and have the ability to get those kids to consider SMU. If you did that alone, even after the Texas, OU, A&M's of the world have taken the big fish, you'd have a program that was the best G5 program in the country and borderline Top 20.

They sure did RIP, but Tubbs wasn't fit for the job.

The facts and numbers don't lie. June & his staff ignored DFW.

[Stallion]

that meme was always ridiculous
High school coaches don't steer recruits anywhere
The College coaches have to sell the recruits and it doesn't hurt when the high school coach is positive about the program
As we seen in BB recruiting there is also a synergy factor too when recruiting Texas
You didn't hear me talking about June Jones recruiting DFW well
I lambasted him from Day 1 based on his his ridiculous coaching staff that had no real Texas ties except for Surfer Boy who flew into Texas a couple of times a year

If SMU were somehow able to land Morris and Beatty.......wow.

You make any kind of excuse for your boy Jones. What next are you going to lobby for Mason to get the job?

[Rebel10]

While TCU’s Gary Patterson and North Texas’ Dan McCarney have made it a point to engage with the area’s high school coaches, Jones did not.

For example, until 2012, the North Texas Football Coaches Association held coaching clinics at the area’s three FBS schools, with more than 300 coaches in attendance. Patterson and McCarney are regulars at the clinic, available and engaged as much as their schedules allow. (Patterson’s connections with high school coaches are even tighter, hiring popular Arlington Bowie coach Kenny Perry in March 2013 as his director of high school relations and recruiting; Perry was promoted to cornerbacks coach this spring.)

Jones, on the other hand, showed little interest in participating in the clinic, making a few brief appearances. Over the past two years, SMU declined requests to host the event, forcing organizers to move SMU’s dates to Garland Lakeview.

That was a few DISD coaches but these are coaches from the entire Metroplex. In fact, one coach in another part of the state called June Jones out in a tweet during the game for not recruiting locally during the Baylor game. And as Big10PF pointed out, that was unprecedented.

There is literally not an excuse in his entire post. He said you have to hire a head coach and a full staff that will recruit the entire area, which he and everyone else knows June did not do. How is that an excuse?

Definitely unprecedented.
