Yes, Liberty. Been there since it opened in 06. Unfortunately no, we don't really have anything SMU should be looking at but we still see pretty much everybody else in Texas roll through. Spent about an hour with Jim Gush in our office last year and had a great time. Nothing to give him as for recruits but this is a people business which translates to relationships and their need to have them with us HS coaches. I feel there is some interest in SMU from kids out there but like any product it needs to be sold especially when we are still essentially introducing it to a generation that knows no history of the Mustangs. A couple guys that are willing to beat the trail and not back down from any of the other schools could really get some interesting things happening. Hope it can happen.

I agree. While you may not have a lot of D1A kids now you could have several in the future and a relationship need to already have been established at with the HS coaches.
