Probably because he was drafted by the USFL and not the NFL.

What's really impressive is that there are only 7 or so players on that list in 20 years. And yet each and every recruiting class by each and every head coach was considered the best at SMU since the DP.

Who would be considered pro material on the roster now in your opinions? Sanders and Robinson for sure....Yenga has potential...DJ in the future...

Does sucking up to everything coming out of the Coaching Staff get old for you?

No, probably not, I guess it's just a reflection of my personality, I always see the glass half full in life, not just here on ponyfans. If you notice the regular posters on this board, you get a good sense of their attitude on life, their posts are a reflection of that attitude. My personality, (with my own flaws) has allowed the Lord to bless me with a beautiful young wife, (that still has friends baffled) a successful sales career, strong involvement in my church, trust by SMU alums and friends, that give me money for the Mustang Club, and many related projects, (thanks again friends). And as you have pointed out in a previous shot, I am not an SMU alum, but, I have been a fan for 40 years, and if you put guys like me and you on a fans scale, in my opinion, SMU would benefit from 20,000 cheerleaders like me, as opposed to guys like you. And while all of your research is honestly appeciated by everyone, being the "suckup" that I am, I have been told by numerous coaches, including our TOP recruiter, that you make things more difficult for them, and that you actually HURT the program. But, I will see you tonight, and yes I will be optimistic, and my brother will be waving his flag, (or pom poms) as you said. GO MUSTANGS!

Craig James is on the list. Do not know how to tell you where. In the middle. He is between the 7's and the $$. (#187)
