I really wish the IT dept would quit locking me out of the good stuff

DEMENT'S basketball team? LOL, that tells you all you need to know about WFAA's coverage of SMU the last few years. Nice piece though.

Did anyone listen to Orsini's interview on staying? He talked about the basketball team and said we "had signed".....then he stopped himself and said we "had a committment from a top 10 point guard". McCoy has signed has he not? I thought it was very strange because he very deliberately corrected himself in mid sentence.

McCoy has signed and is on campus.

I caught that too. The exact quote was, "We signed a top, or uhh, not signed...but we have a verbal commitment from a top 20, uh top 10 point guard, uh hopefully that person will come here one day, and if so, that's the beginning of us turning the corner and being nationally competitive.

Anybody have the scoop? Did he let the cat out of the bag or is he confusing last year's class?

That part of Orsini's interview concerned me, too. Sounded like McCoy's coming might not be a "done deal"?

Or could he be talking about another PG who is about to be a HS senior? If as Calallen says McCoy is "on campus," surely Orsini knows that...regarding the person he spoke of he says "hopefully he will come here one day"

I have no idea who Big O might be talking about...but McCoy is on campus.
