he's saying we've made the short list (17 offers listed by Rivals) - looks like a monster. If the coaching staff can get this guy considering all the attention he's getting, they're doing a phenomenal job
Edit: Looks like there's going to be up to 10 in the short list so it aint that short

Is there such a thing as a "Medium" list?

Sorry guys - no chance of SMU getting the Holmes.
Academic: Pick Rice
Athletic and academic: Pick UCLA
Not to be a naysayer but lets not get our hopes up.
PS: I LOVE the fact that this staff is trying. I was so sick to see us not even in the hunt for Top 100 talent under the previous staff. Don't you think it helps the perceptionof SMU when we are on Top 100 kids lists and helps our overall recruiting when we land 3-4.

I don't know where he'll go but we'll sign guys this year that will surprise you and yes, I absolutely think it helps our street cred just to have our names listed next to some top 100 kids

Pony 81 do you have any factual basis for your "Sorry Guys" opinion?. If you do-esplain it. I kinda doubt it. Even I wouldn't post personal opinion as fact unless I had some solid factual basis on which to speculate. ie he visiting others schools not SMU or isn't mentioning SMU as one of his favorites. I'm not aware of any such information-and he appears to be giving SMU more than a fair shake. You will probably end up being right but I still don't think you should post personal opinions as fact w/o the factual basis
