Ryan Wolcott

Ryan Wolcott is the only surprise I see but aren't we missing one? No I guess its just Ben Poynter who Rivals has as a commit.

Ben Poynter...invited walk-on?

OK, I type too slowly.

So Wolcott got a scholarship, that's cool...

What does the list tell us about the "secret" signing that has been rumored for a few days (the one that we can't talk about)? Does this preclude that or is there still a scholarship available?

[Hoop Fan]

The big surprise was a kicker? Presumably he got offer only when the linemen chose Colorado. Foregive me, but I don't consider that a great development, more like a nice consolation. Some of you guys shouldnt build things up so much, geez.

Wolcott was the late addition.

Was there any player in the country who really belonged at a school more than Wolcott at SMU? Congratulations to him.

I think the original surprise was Ricky Wilson, but for whatever reason he didn't pan out.

I was wondering how Wilson could get into SMU when he couldn't get into TTech. He would've been a great addition, but if for nothing other than good kharma, we needed to sign Wolcott. It just would've been wrong for Doak's progeny to by playing in Lubbock.

I don't think Wolcott was supposed to be the big surprise, and from the tone of other posts, it sounds like there may be another one tonight. If so, someone needs to post it on the forum. Overall, this looks like a strong class, with a fair amount of size, attractive skill position players, and something we haven't had in years, the potential for a lot of quality depth.

You might also add that this is the fastest class I remember, and I've been following this stuff since football returned.

So nice to see it in black and white. It really looks like a solid class. Nice to add a kicker; I assume he starts immediately.

I'm not giving up on McMurtray yet.
Of course, I'd love it if Wolcott is so good he just takes the job. I hope all the freshmen are so good the returning starters have to fight for their jobs!

for what its worth Houston's fans report 20-21 confirmed commitments but no Ricky Wilson yet. But I'm not sure if we got a shot. At the same time that some of you guys were saying that Bennett was excited about a surprise commitment from an R.W., Ricky Wilson visited UH over the weekend, committed to UH according to his HS friend and took a LOI with him. So I guess its still possible but probably not probable.
