Ok guys. Let's tap the breaks and take a collective deep breath. Check out how ESPN has graded the commitments we have to date. I can't remember how last years class was graded, but this class already seems comparable to what we did last year. Couple that with the high level of interest we have received from a number of highly regarded recruits from across the country, we will be fine.

Has the staff arguably been derelict in it's Texas recruiting efforts? Possibly. But when it's all said and done, I assume most of you will proclaim this the best recruiting class we have had in 25 years. So let's let things play out. We will be ok.

Should we completely discount 18 Rivals four star recruits showing interest in SMU? Should we put an asterisk next to those recruits who just happen to not be from Texas? Does talent disappear at the border?

As long as they can play, that's great.

You mean in addition to Manvel, Texas DE (projects as OLB) Glynn Cheeks (6-2, 218) and Manvel DE Taiwan Johnson (6-3, 230, 4.7)? Cheeks reports an offer from Air Force; Johnson claims about 20, including Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Boise State, Colorado, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Purdue, West Virginia.

Or did you mean others?

Taiwan Johnson from Manvel is one of a select group of Invitees to Texas' June 5 Camp. Tommie Mark also and he said some nice things about SMU

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.
