Actually the big news is the 15th commitment. Joey Fontana committed to SMU. #2 center according to Scout and selected SMU over Nebraska and a number of big time schools.

[Horseshoe]

Who knows where he's ranked. One of the earlier stories on him listed him as being ranked No. 2 and No. 8 in the country .... and the rankings both were by scout. Whatever, he's apparently a good player, and I'm grateful he's headed to SMU. CONGRATULATIONS, COACHES, and WELCOME, JOEY!

I liked #2 better.

I liked #2 better.

14th ranked center by rivals and 5.6

[ALEX LIFESON]

Scout has him as the #2 center in the country, lets go with the positive for a change.

Ben Hughes he other center we picked up is not rated (top 20)but is the second two star at 5.4 which would put him at about number 22 I am not being negative in fact I believe when you can get the number 14 and 22 from any of the scouting services list your are doing better than OK. The reason I mentioned this is that a lot of people on pf seem to place rivals quite high in their evaluations. I have no opinion on any of the scouting services.

I am worried about the well being of Stallion. You have totally baited him by calling an SMU recruit the #2 player in the country and no response. Someone send emergency services to his house to check on him.

"selected SMU over Nebraska"

WOW!

[ALEX LIFESON]

Had offers from Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Arkansas as well. As Stallion likes to say, BCS offers.

[Stallion]

Why would I be upset with a kid who got a boatful of quality offers? If and when SMU recruits any semblance of a quality football team then I will be the biggest cheerleader on the board. I look forward to the day more expect SMU to compete for quality recruits. You guys are jumping on my recruiting bandwagon now. Ohhhh he is rated the No. 2 Center in America-we're goin' to kick some [deleted]!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are the ones who are supposed to claim Rivals, Scout and offers from D1A programs are simply BCS propaganda.
