From the Orlando Sentinel:

Gotta like it!

# 1 in the WAC. They should have included Desmond and Molly Joness with Vera, Chuck and Dave (Beatles reference). I wonder how many people will get this.

[PerunaPunch]

Pretty cool that Pat Hill calls this Fresno class his best ever, yet we're ranked higher -- at least by the recruiting wizards at the Orlando paper...

[Vitale]

That's true, but just about every coach calls each class their best ever, if only to appeal to the fans and alums.
I hope that in 2-3 years, we're still convinced our class is the best in the WAC.

[Vitale]

And I love the paper's comment about our class:

"This is type of class that can help SMU go bowling again."

Love it - you KNOW that if it's in a newspaper, it's got to be accurate, right?

[FloridaMustang]

The Orlando Sentinel is a highly-respected newspaper..glad to see SMU at the top of the WAC on their list as well

[Stallion]

...for those of you that don't know the Orlando Sentinal is unsurpassed in its recruiting coverage by any paper in the United States and has a Guru named Bill Burkhalter that runs a pretty darn good weblink that often scoops the Insiders and Rivals on Commitments in both BB and FB.

[PerunaPunch]

Stallion,

Wow, I was being sarcastic in what I said about the Orlando paper. Even more exciting knowing they have credibility.

Thanks for passing this information along to us.

[FloridaMustang]

Burkhalter is a stud.

[Ikus]

But haven't you also said that sportswriters don't know anything about recruiting?

I'm confused...

[Stallion]

if you'd read with comprehension you'd understand that he is one of the few exceptions. Instead of being a smartass about something you don't know about why don't you check out his website I cited and then tell us whether he's just another newspaper writer.
