with the report that Nyam has been released from his letter of intent, do you think Doherty will sign anybody with these three scholarships?

I bet Coach Doherty snatches one recruit everyone assumes is headed elsewhere, or finds a JUCO. Considering his reputation as a stellar recruiter, I personally hope that's what he does. We'll take our lumps next year, but he has a chance to put together a class that could have a bigger impact than any of us have seen. That doesn't mean he has to land a class full of Darrell Arthurs .... but if he snagged 5 or 6 Willie Davises and one "how did SMU get him?" guy, he could jump-start the revitalization of the program right away. Personally, I think he should hold every scholarship he can, unless a stud falls in his lap. There's no reason to sign a guy just to sign a guy, and then end up wasting four years on a sub-par player.

I believe MD said that exact same thing in when talking about Nyam's release.

EDIT: fixed typo.

If they are headed somewhere else, they've already signed a letter of intent unless they're a late qualifier.

I am predicting self-imposed sanctions of two scholarships. Convenient sanction for this year!

Just thinking you should have given "4" as one of the options just to see whose on top of things!
