Spring game? What is this spring game you speak of?

Re: Five SMU players (per E J Holland)
The number one player on that list should be Matt Davis. Davis is going to excel in the CM offense. I'll go out on a limb and predict that Matt Davis breaks the total yards from scrimmage record by a QB at SMU.
Number 2 should be Gaines. CM is going to figure out how to use him, whether it is at WR or HB/TE.
Number 3 Sutton. The guy is physical, athletic, and has good size. He will have an impact somewhere on the field on offense or defense.
Number 4 Gresham.
Number 5 Ryheem Malone or Shelby Walker. Malone came in late, but still saw PT as a true frosh. He is really smooth with good hands. Walker has speed. Both of these guys will benefit from having the spring, and I think one of them will be really involved next year even with the stud receivers coming in.

I don't see either of your number 5's getting much time at WR.

I've been a big advocate but Shelby walker should not have been on the field this year and needs for redshir . Can't play d1 ball weighing less than 150

He's more likely to lose the job to Hicks than he is to get that record.

I wouldn't count Davis out quite so quickly. He basically played last year with no coaching. I am interested to see how he does with the spring under his belt, just like Hicks.

Precisely what I've been saying. Let's let the guy have a chance without his hands tied behind his back before we count him out

I couldn't agree more with this list. The only thing I'm not sold on is your #1. He might have to be the answer if Hicks isn't ready to play, but I think after spring ball they'll have their answer.
Change #1 to Horace Richardson. One of the most talented corners we've had in a long time. If he toughens up, matures, and is held accountable by this new staff, I think he can be the next Pony DB in the NFL.
