This thread is awesome. Thanks for posting the videos, Otto.

Coaches always talk about getting players who are bigger and faster and stronger. This year's guys look like they really fit that description!

Bump

This is a fairly good reference point between pre-Asu w/Klemm vs post-Asu w/o Klemm.

The pre-Asu w/ Klemm was ranked #47th on Rivals.

Let's see JJ earn his paycheck.

[Warbow]

Is Khalil Pettway still an SMU recruit? Heard he decommitted.

[mrydel]

He, Marks, and Harper are gone from the list of 21.

Gehrig Dieter's record breaking season, all games.

[redpony]

I believe that Lewis and Palacio have also de-committed. Guess we have only 16-17 commits now - if we include the juco from this w.e. Kind of discouraging compared to what this class was a few months ago.

GO PONIES!!!

i love all you guys who are new to the next level of recruiting. it's not your fault, you've never experienced having a successful team who's coaches get hired by other schools, teams who's recruits have offers from BIG time programs, recruits who are given national exposure and make "signing day announcements".

has SMU been good before? absolutely, and they've competed like this before, but unless you are/were a very big donor and opened your wallet in ways it probably shouldn't have, you didn't know about recruiting other than maybe hearing about some high school kid in Sports Illustrated or the Dallas Times Herald high school sports edition.

you'll get the hang of it after a few years. it's a good problem to have.
