So, How did we do?

SMU — The Mustangs make this list for two reasons: Chad Morris is a master recruiter, and their entire class hails from Texas.

SMU gained only three more three-star rated players compared to last year’s recruiting class, but that’s not where this group earns its medal. Morris, a Texas native and former high school head coach in the state, was hired as the Mustangs HC on December 1, about a week before his new team would finish a horrendous 1-11 season with a win at UConn. In two short months, Morris utilized to the fullest his Texas roots to bring in a class low on depth, but high on potential. Under June Jones, SMU deviated a bit from its Texas roots and became more of a national recruiter. Why would you swim at a public pool if you have a perfectly good pool in your back yard? Morris proved in only his first class that he wants to utilize the recruiting pool in his Dallas-Fort Worth backyard.

Morris understands something Jones didn’t get: To win at SMU, you must win with players from the Lone Star State.

One of the keys to this class was the high level skill position players that CCM was able to land. One of the best receiver classes in a long time imo.

And finding skill position players was the number one thing on the list. We needed playmakers at WR and he fixed that pretty well. Mature O-line and we have Davis and Hicks at QB (still think Davis wins the job easily). Add in the receivers and the offense should be in good shape already.

The team quit on Mel long before June quit. the S&C program is going to do wonders for our existing players being able to commit.
