Just checked your list on OCSN and your class is indeed a good one. Had you been over to the FFF about a month ago, there were several posts regarding the quality of your recruiting class and how it rivaled ours (although we've added some pretty good players since--Will Oliver for example). The "negative recruiting" junk just popped up last week. The best part is that we must be close to shutting out Arkansas in Texas this year (either that or they hired a couple o'hundred temps as coaches to contact every potential recruit in the state).
Like I said above and was born out in my search, we weren't after a lot of the same guys and it looks like we'll both end up with what we wanted when it's all said and done. I do think this--both Patterson and Bennett are excellent evaluators of talent so I wouldn't worry about the outcome or let anyone rag you about your class, just as I don't let anyone rag us about ours. The results will speak for themselves. I fully expect SMU to be giving us great games and contending for the WAC championship within two or three years.
Nothing would be better than having four conference champs in the same state--WAC, CUSA, Big12, and SunBelt. Texas would again be the King of College Football.
