Wow. Very very strange that the staff thinks this is going to work with high level recruits, going forward.

Thought it was all about 'competing?' :roll:

One of these days when I have time, I will find my kids' crayons and explain it to the sports related paternal unit using very small words...in the mean time to answer the original question on which this whole tread was based...yes, yes we do.

It's more of a visit all you want until you commit. They tell the recruits that and tell them only to commit when they are certain. Funk with their trust and they drop you. Do you know anyone with multiple FBS offers that could explain it from their point of view?

If I remember correctly, this was a deal between our coach and Moore. We would not recruit any other QB's to play at the QB positon if he committed and in return he would not visit any other schools. We kept our end of the deal...he didn't. Pretty simple and straight forward.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

If I remember correctly he committed because Sells was getting close. We stopped recruiting Sells when Moore committed. Now Houston has Sells already on campus taking part in Spring ball. I have no problem with them pulling the scholarship, because Moore did not keep his end of the bargain and the staff did. If anything, I would agree the staff might not have done enough research on Moore to begin with. Would like to have Sells in this class now, but I think the class is going to be great even without a QB.

Wasn't because Sells was getting close.
