Seems like a bad week:

Hoops without starter
Suspension news
Player leaves program
Thin at running back
Several SMU offers commit elsewhere
SMU receives a 2010 decommitment
Heartbreak at Moody

C'mon guys, can we get some POSITIVE news (for us and recruits) to look at!!! :P

It's not nearly as bad as it seems for the FB team. That just opened up 3 more scholarships that we needed opened up.

Browsing the BB board seems like nothing will help the mens basketball team. I have never been a big
basketball fan so can not comment on this.

Except for McNeal leaving, this is not necessarily bad news. If Fields produces, we will get by without McNeal although it would have been nice to have both for a season. The most important queston is not who leaves but who fills their space.

As far as football recruiting goes, it is important to me to get a top defense and special teams to be a true power. June Jones offense is one that allows lesser players to get more and so I don't worry about that side of it as much.
For basketball recruiting, it is about the leader, like all college sports. You have got to have the right big time leader, coach that is, to get the men's BB team to a winning one. It will most likely take a lot of money. I read on this site that SMU's coach makes $546,229 a year. Wikipedia tells me that the head coach at Texas makes $2 million a year.
Honestly, I'm ready for a men's basketball power too and for men's athletics (Track and Field) to return to SMU again.
