Now Rivals and Scout both have reported that he has decommitted from SMU.

Just another day on the SMU recruiting trail

good job good effort.

His dad was great - but he is an average 4A offensive lineman. i think we will need that spot for someone else.

Quickest decommitment ever? Seriously though not a big loss considering 2 star linemen grow on trees.

We already have a 245 pound lineman in this class that we hope to develop, it isn't terrible if we don't sign another two star lineman. Best of luck to him

I've heard rumors that we didn't really want him anyway. Will try to confirm this with one of my insider sources.

Beard was at SMU over the weekend, thought he had until end of week to commit, he did on Wednesday, but was told the offer no longer stood

After Midway HC Terry Gambill spoke with HC June Jones and an assistant, the offer was back on the table, but, Beard, whose father Joe >>>

Played at SMU from 1979-1983, decided the relationship was damaged and de-committed. Not sure how this ends sometime down the road.

Um.. He goes somewhere else

If we're only going to replace a 2-star with another 2-star...might be nice to pick the son of an alumni great...I think it looks awful to offer then rescind offers to kids like this.

Well, that's awkward.

Mrydel is at an undisclosed WDNWHA command bunker discussing the situation. Rest Easy.
