How many will sign before the game tonight?
5 guys so far; 2 of which are Sonny's finds:

With Ellison also listed as linebacker, we have two fast, athletic LBs already signed! That's good news.

I also love a 6' 5" QB and a 6' 3" safety.

Williams is so smooth, shifty, and fast. Great get.

7 early signees on day one, 4 of which are Sonny's doing. Will be interesting to watch how this year's class eventually plays out

He said he was going to sign 13 more in March (?). We now have 13 unsigned commits. Wonder how this is going to work out.

I just love the 247 headline: “OL won’t sign early but is optimistic about Dykes” translation: I’m looking for something better and praying about it.

Or it could be that he actually wants to sign with SMU but you know - maybe wants to see who his OL coach will be before he does. Either one.

Actually, I was referring to how many of the unsigned commits Dykes would recruit over, not how many would stick with SMU. Personally, I would rather see him keep bringing in his own recruits. He signed some early and the rest were encouraged to wait and see.

QB is not going to be a QB for long. Expect him to move to WR or maybe defense.

he is a 3 year project-well maybe at best a 2 year since he enrolled early. High upside based only on athletic and physical talent. Technique wise he's about as raw a QB as I've seen SMU sign-even more than Gillins -and I made my feelings about how raw he was from the Day he signed. I'm not sure if Will Brown fits in an Air-Raid based on his videos but who knows with good coaching and patience. I would be surprised if Dykes doesn't bring in an Air Raid compatible QB because I think most of our QBs are mis-matched to an Air Raid Offense
But I will say that Brown does have the athleticism and the arm strength to become a good QB if he can improve his technique. The ball really does jump off his arm even when he is making unorthodox throws
