You need to edit who the newest recruit chose SMU over.

Good job.

Thanks for posting this. I wondered when it would appear.

Otto should be on the PF.com staff.

Rivals calls Seals 6-3 and 218, but there's a report down here that listed him at 6-4, 240.
That's more like it.

I found some pictures of him--he has some length and hopefully can keep growing

This class is shaping itself like a serious brawler. Conf USA or not, watch out for this group of kids along w/ 2010 and whomever follows. A real nice thing is happening right now at SMU and within a couple of years I think SMU nation better be ready for some national prominence, again.

Worst comes to worst, we will absolutely dominate the Sunbelt 2.0

What really strikes me so far about the recruiting class is the size of the players!!! Over the last 10 years I have looked down on the sidelines and seen some really small guys. We are bringing in some big kids!!!

Good article from Beacher...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/4229 ... ion#page/7

You need to add number 14...

You can note that he is a scout 3* (Woods)

Uhhm, Wood is a Scout 3*, not 2*, #85 at position
He is also ESPNU 3*, #50 at position

Sparling is a Scout 2*

Thanks — noted and updated!
