Great to see them contributing in the community (esp. in SMU gear).

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting.

Nick and Shawn will continue to do SMU proud. They are great young men.

Two of the best things that Doh did for SMU basketball. So glad that they got to experience this past season as players at SMU.

Still pisses me off they didn't get to finish their SMU careers with an NCAA Tourney bid. No one deserved it more than Shawn and Nick- solid contributors on the court and great guys off of it.

Great that they are out in the community & hanging out with the kids. The SMU gear is nice, too.

True although that NIT championship would have been nice.

Need some inexpensive pony gear (t-shirts) to hand out to these young fans.

Look forward to seeing Shawn on the bench next year as a graduate assistant. A coach that begins his career assisting the Godfather has a bright future. He'll have a lot of PonyFans tracking his progress and cheering him on.

There was some talk in the past about Nick having some opportunities overseas. Any word on that?

JWP as a Mustang fan would be a south Dallas coup! Park Cities/Preston Hollow on one side, Oak Cliff/the Grove on the other.

This^ use hoops to expand our brand outside of park cities. Need to always try and reach out to the young demographics around dfw and create young fans that grow up with smu athletics. would be good for the school and our sports.

Give away pony tshirts at these events, like the shirts at Louisville game. Get them used to wearing SMU gear.
