If he's still a junior in HS, isn't it safe to assume he's still growing, too?

Except that his dad is only 5'10, and he is not around 5'10...

Since when has SMU, declined recruiting short recievers. If you noticed, had to upgrade my avatar. We need to quit screwing around, and Blanka is all about business.

This makes sense since last year riley played qb, rb, wr, and cb

If Riley Dodge did come to SMU, he'd be a redshirt frosh in Willis' senior year. So it's never too early (or often) to recruit a stud QB! It would be great to be able to groom the heir apparent with some real game experience after Willis gets us up by 21+ as a junior or senior. :lol:

That's actually kind of funny coming from the guy who told everybody we were a lock for the New Orleans Bowl at 6-6. Clearly you are all about the business.

That is what I was told by the bowl reps. Both at the Houston game and at the Alumni Tent before the Rice game.

I guess those bowl reps didnt think Rice would be bowl eligible.

Not to mention East Carolina went to North Carolina State and won. Imagine that! A second year coach getting seven wins, taking care of business and going to a bowl.

Hopefully a sixth year coach can get us 7 wins next year.

I dont totally disagree with that, in policy, recruit them, I would, but getting them to come knowing willis is here for a while wont be easy is all I am saying.
Would love to have a guy like Dodge in the system for two solid years before he started, huge advantages with that.

Well I guess both you and they were wrong. Maybe those guys weren't really bowl reps.

Those "bowl reps" could have been TCU fans toying with your emotions.
