Recruiting Class Ranked 29th on Rivals

Postby SMU 86 » Wed Nov 12, 2014 10:29 am

And they still have 2 scholarships to fill. They could be around 20 to 22 after the Spring signing date after filling the 2 spots left.

Would love to see us crack the top 15.

I think we need about 2 years of back to back top 15 recruiting classes with a few glue players in each to build sustainability post-LB.

I agree. Don't we have more than 2 scholarships left?

A lot of kids left uncommitted. A good number of schools will move up, including into the top 30.

By my count six scholarships become open: Caneen, Ryan, JMM, J Martin, Yannick, and Head (not certain on this one, but I believe he transferred too late to fill his slot).

Add the possibility of Markus turning pro, and we could have another four ships to fill. Plus this being college basketball, there's always the possibility of transfers out, academic issues, and other players deciding to go pro here or abroad.

Even without the players we lose, next year will be very solid with the Moores, Sterling, Keith, Emelogu, plus Tolbert, the freshmen, and maybe Marcus, plus whoever else we sign.

If that is the case they could carry 1 or 2 scholarships over to the 2016 class.

always pay attention to transfers , given that so many talented kids leave Dallas and may want to come back home (Tolbert, Ben E.) after a year or two at the powerhouse program. Plus with LB, we can really get a transfer from anywhere (J-Mart).

from the writeup...

..."Led by Connecticut at No. 14 overall, four programs from outside of the traditional power conferences have cracked the top 30"..

the writer just can't say it... uhhh, in other words, 3 teams from the American plus SDSU...doh!

edit:

oh crap, they dropped SMU to 30, and when Kentucky and Kansas land theirs, that will bump us.
Oh well, I faith that LB got some really good ones!
