"When comparing the Mustangs' 2009 recruits to those of years past, Williams said, 'The talent is better. Last year's class, and the one before, most of the class had only one offer. This year, the kids don't have to be at SMU - they want to be.'"

That makes me happy. Time will tell what they bring to the team, but I really enjoy reading that for a change.

With an entire year under his belt, Jones has put together an impressive group of players who are expected to sign, despite a disappointing 1-11 season in 2008. So why SMU?
