Ouch. True, but .... ouch.

Welcome to SMU, Phillip!

This is the one I wanted...I love the big receivers like this that can out muscle a DB for key first downs.

And how about the jump-ball possibilities in the red zone with all those big guys?

No OU offer, but add to the list offers from: UTEP, Houston, Baylor and Vanderbilt

IMO, this is the biggest football recruit we have gotten in a couple of years.....a big, fast WR with multiple BSC school offers. Burley along with McCann really gives us weapons at the WR position. Very nice.

My guess is McCann is a corner.

Agreed I think he will be a CB. He will kick return for us too, Burley is a big wide receiver with good speed. McCann may also get some carries. These two together, oh man this could be amazing. In four years wow the Mustangs are really gonna be good, but lets not look too far ahead, because we have a great year coming next. Back to the postseason for SMU!

easy there......we still have to find someone to get these guys the ball. Hopefully J-Dub will be that guy.

justin has to be the one this year to lead the team

we cannot have a qb controvsy

Don't count out Eric Johnson. I heard that he also has a bright future!

frankly I'm surprised there's not more talk about Ferguson. I do think it'll be Willis, though.

isn't he going to play WR-that's where he got moved to at Northwestern. They did assign hima QB number 12 but list him as a WR.

I guess you'd know better than I. I was going off of his old Rivals info (just found out I'd never canceled the free trial, so I'm putting the 9.95 to good use) and, as you pointed out, the #12.

Yup -- Ferguson is expected to play WR, from what I understand.

Although, if he was a highly ranked dual-threat QB, as has been reported here before, maybe he should get a look there?

I wonder if that's the plan, with all the WRs (Chase, Pellerin, Cleveland, Sledge, Warren, Givens, Sanders, Hawkins, PBurley, Medford .... and I'm probably forgetting someone) we'll have next year.

What is the plan... to give them a look at QB? :shock:
