11 deep (not counting Crandall Head) of guys who would have started on just about any recent SMU team-wow

That is an absolutely ginormous pick up for the Ponies. Getting calls from my X friends telling me that this will put them in the top of the top. They really loved him at X.

This kid will start at the 3. He can hit from distance, put it on the deck, crash glass, and play good defense. He will be the absolute perfect glue guy.

He's a small forward to be sure.

Really a perfect fit. Moves Sterling to the bench where he will excel as an energy guy.

I can't wait to get my tickets for games up here in Cinci and in Bloomington and Memphis. This is going to be an amazing basketball season.

I remember discussing on these boards about a decade ago how important it was to change our transfer restrictions because a lot of teams that collect mature experienced JUCOs and Division 1A transfers in the upper classes were winning all the championships. I realize that's not necessarily the truth at the elite national level but this will be the most experienced mature team in SMU History. Let's test the theory. If it happens SMU will have played the transfer game better than any program in the country. Quite a change in philosophy at SMU

Xavier transfer Justin Martin has committed to SMU, per his twitter page. HUGE get for @LarryBrownSMU + the Mustangs. Eligible immediately.

@JonRothstein · 2h

SMU was a Top 10 team without Justin Martin. Now the Ponies add a fifth-year wing who can really shoot it. Upward trajectory in Dallas.

@JonRothstein · 2h

Early prediction on SMU's 14-15 starting five --- Emmanuel Mudiay, Nic Moore, Justin Martin, Cannen Cunningham, Markus Kennedy.....


Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein · 2h

The wild card now to watch for SMU? Will Texas Tech transfer Jordan Tolbert be given a waiver to play next year. 6-7 F averaged 10.7 + 5.8.
