LB 100% Class
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 10:03 amThis will be a short thread cause it really doesn't have substance, but I did want to separate the subject from the EM threads.
Despite the horrific setback, LB has shown the complete class that he has shown from day one at SMU. His public statements, whether written by him or someone else, were spot on in tone and message. He showed disappointment, but still stood by EM and his family by respecting the decision he made. Now, the way LB is treating JMM, is exactly how you would expect given his track record. He is making sure the kid does the right thing and get his degree.
As disappointed as I am with how things turned out, I am prouder than ever that we have a coach that is so classy and conducts himself in such a way that is a credit to our university. He has softened the blow by doing the right things, and by have such a talented team that is not 100% reliant on a one and done player.
No matter how good EM would have been, we still have a very deep team that will be competitive and will most likely exceed the accomplishments of last year's team. Be sure to keep that in mind after you let off steam about how SMU always gets the shaft. At least, we got the right guy to lead the BBall program in spite of ourselves.
