Hunt, a 6-7, 270-pound world-class athlete, is the current world junior record holder in discus throw. Hunt has been enrolled at SMU since the fall of 2007, training privately with SMU's world-renowned track & field coach Dave Wollman. Hunt won gold medals in both the shot and the discus at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing, becoming the first junior athlete ever to win a shot/discus gold medal double. Hunt will play offensive or defensive line for SMU. He will be eligible in the fall.

He'll have to fight it out with my annual mythical recruit Junior "Stonewall" Jackson from Tupelo(right next to One-pelo), Mississippi. 6-4, 322 pound of man. Waiting to hear from NCAA Clearinghouse on eligibility

Can we officially declare our administrative problems with getting transfers dead?
Looking at the first three, you got one juco and a transfer from Miami and a last minute transfer from New Mexico State. There is no way Jones had to go through the same problems that Bennett had to go through to get a transfer QB after his second year.

Does anyone know a timeline on when we will hear if the kid from Miami will be eligible next year. If this kid can play next year it would make Mrydel ruling on Kendial Lawrence easier. I just hope Mrydel doesnt have to go through the beating of interviewing Lawrence to decide on his fate.

His speed is exceptional, and word is he'll get a shot first at DE. Word is he has been clocked as low as the high 4.5s, but considering a variance for hand-held timing, I've been told he's probably a legit 4.65-4.7 ... which is still insanely fast for a guy that fast.
Keep in mind, that this guy has never played football at any level. But if he can grasp the idea of head-clubbing the guy in front of him and running down a QB, who knows?

I bet it's late summer before we hear anything - until then, assume he's a stud scout-teamer who will give the defense a look they haven't had before. Then, if he's declared eligible - bonus (damn, that's dangerously near jtstang's "no expectations" mantra...)

I do not think we got the Serge ruling until about a week before opening game.
