"Bell, who is No. 55 on SportsDay's Area Top 100, said he picked SMU over Colorado State, UT-El Paso, Baylor, Tulsa and Kansas. He said he went with the Mustangs because of their coaching staff.

"'I like coach [Phil] Bennett the most,' said Bell, who played as a freshman and sophomore at Wilmer-Hutchins and as a junior at Arlington Grace Prep. 'He's already getting it turned around. SMU is a school on the rise.'"

I like hearing that from kids coming in. That's a real step forward for recruits to start looking at SMU because they see the program on the rise.

The fact is that right now it is easy to sell the "if we had only had you we would have......." speil. I want SMU to get to the "we need you to replace xxxxxx who is leaving early for the NFL." speil.
