Is there any indication as to whom or do teams lose a few commitments every year. I saw on Rivals where the Fontana kid was starting to take a few more visits. That would be a bad one to lose.

Agree. Hope he commits to SMU.

He has just made a general statement in a couple of interviews.

Well, if we lose 2 or 3 of our 3 Star guys, this class would not be much better than our typical PB recruiting classes of a few years ago.

I ran into a wrestling coach from Fontana's HS at Starbucks a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I name-dropped thinking I'd get a gushing endorsement of what a good kid he was, that he'd be good for SMU, etc etc.

It's second hand hearsay, so I won't post it. But I will say that what I didn't hear what I thought I would hear. Didn't affect my opinion of the kid, but I did think it was particularly sorry for someone from the athletic dept of the kid's HS to throw one of his athletes-or former athletes-under the bus to a complete stranger.

Why bring it up then? Post it with the disclaimer it is from a second hand source.

Here's hoping tonight we add another player off that list!

Rivals has a really good story on their front page right now about the remaining targets that will be in town this weekend. Very interesting my friends, very interesting.

Are you going to share the names with us?

It is a well written and very informative piece...it's also something that most non-BCS rivals sites don't do.

It was a cool story. However there is really only 4 guys coming in to look at the school. 1 is already commited to tulsa for the most part. i just want Rufus Porter. And the guy from goliad sounds like he could be a steal.

Committed aint signed. If he is here visiting then we have a chance.

it'll be quite the cross to bear if we lose that guy to La Tech and the Cogswell guy to ULM.

Cogswell is a key cog in the future pony football machine.

If we can't get him then maybe we can look at Spacely. I hear he's quite the Sprocket.
