Banjo got upgraded to 3*

[Cadillac]

Plus they put Parker and McElroy on there as well. We went from having 1 3* to 4.

impossible Rivals is prejudiced against small schools like SMU

(This is at least the 10th SMU upgrade to a 3 star by Rivals of SMU recruits in about 5 years-its time to realize that argument doesn't hold water)

Who is Ryan Smith? That one came out of nowhere.

[Cadillac]

Looks like we have a Ryan Smith on there too. I don't recall him on our list.

about time they updated it. our class looks somewhat legitimate now

[Top 25]

Ryan Smith is the son of former Mustang great, Anthony Smith (and nephew of also former Mustang great, Gary Smith). He had been committed to Rice.

A superb pickup.

[ALEX LIFESON]

I think he is the son, of former SMU football player Anthony Smith. From the 81-82 era.

That puts us at 25 commits and Rivals is still two short.

Alex Odiari is one, who is the other?

[Stallion]

Odiari and Robieske will not be counted by Rivals because they are Transfers and/or Grayshirts respectively. They are Class of 2005 and 2007 not 2008

They KNOW JJ can pick talent. I bet we might even have a few more guys upgraded before it is over besides Chris Banjo. All things considered, this recruiting class is turning out to be a huge improvement for SMU . GREAT JOB JJ !!!
