2008 Rivals - SMU Current List of Recruits Offered

According to Rivals, SMU has offered all of 5 prospects so far, 3 of whom have accepted offers at other schools. The offers are to:
QB Riley Dodge, Southlake, Texas (committed to Texas)
QB Tommy Dorman, North Richland Hills, Texas (committed to A$M)
RB Harrison Jeffers, Lawton, Okla. (committed to Tech)
S Cody Davis, Stephenville, Texas
Athlete Cornelius Douglas, Lawton Okla.
Of course, we know that the big boys will get theirs first as demonstrated by Texas, which already has at least 17 recruits committed. A good comparison for us, however, seems to be Tulsa. By contrast, Tulsa has already offered 21 recruits and have obtained 2 commitments so far (RB Marcus Wright, San Antonio, TX, and OT Taylor Davis, Plano, TX).
I don't know how accurate the Rival's list is as to the actual number of offers that SMU has made. We might be offering kids that have not shown enough yet to make it into the Rival's database. It would be interesting to hear the strategy and philosophy that we are pursuing to try and obtain signatures for the upcoming 2008 class. It seems to me that to get the best you have to at least show you are interested! (Or maybe we are still celebrating the signings of the 2007 class. If that's the case, its too bad the competition doesn't seem to subscribe to that philosophy!)
