Keep your fingers crossed ...coaches are

making some very good and promising pitches to players commited elsewhere and are getting favorable reaction(s). SMU will, most likely, get a pleasant surprise soon.

Trust me, unless a player is a quality player....Bennett and staff are not offering a ship. If we get a commitment, two or three over the next week, it is from a player the coaches know can play.

Don't tease us, Stampede -- I sure hope you're right.

Thanks, will see you on Wed Feb4th with the good news.

Wasn't their a rumor of a big "surprise" last year before signing day?

[Mike Damone]

Yep- And he went to Houston!

[Hoop Fan]

Yes, the big surprise last year was Ryan Wolcott. He had committed to walk on at Tech and we got Doaks grandson when we offered a scholarship at the last minute I think. I am skeptical about a big surprise, but always hopeful.

No the BIG SURPRISE was Ricky Wilson who signed with Houston. Rynn Wolcott was the player who benefitted by Wilson's spot.

[Mike Damone]

Everyone expected him to come here, even the Tech folks. Then it was Houston. It was strange for about a week waiting for that one to happen. Who was he friends with here? Daniel Francis? Was that his name? #7. Whatever happened to him? Did he go to UH too. Is he coming back here?

[DallasDiehard]

I think I heard that Daniel Francis had moved on to Houston, too. He and Wilson are very good friends.
