SMU LB decommit Pettway commits to WSU

[goldenstang]

for everyone that thinks Holloway is gone, where is he going to go? IIRC he only had two offers us and NMSU.

looks like Washington St might be a decent guess

I'm still in the running with a prediction of 5-6 decommitments but may be low now. What did SMT have 10-11. Naw couldn't be that bad

I think he had 8-10 within a week, pretty sure the ship has sailed on that prediction.

It's late and my brain is fried, but other than Marks who has de-commited?

I wouldn't count Harper as he was NEVER coming to SMU once Cal offered. Pettway? Seriously, the kid committed sight unseen because he buddy urged him to. Brown? That was going to take an act of Congress to pry him from Nebraska? Lewis may be next, but he has always been the softest of soft verbals.

I would say Marks and Holloway are the only true de-commits (Holloway's isn't official, but I'm sure it's coming). Hulick would be another. Possibly Palacio, but SMU was his only offer.

It might hit 8-10 if you could all of the drive-by commits, but I still believe 2-4 de-commits that were real commits.

I guess according to you it's no big deal. By the way, Palacio just got a WSU offer from Leach.

I am not sure how many have decomitted, I was saying that it has been a week and there have not been 8-10 decommits so that prediction (if I remembered it correctly) was already proven wrong.

but that's just perspective. My perspective was that we should have focused on Texas and branched out where we had contacts like California(Klemm) and Louisiana(Reinebold)

So what were the other coaches doing? Were they just watching Klemm? Every Coach should focus on his territory. That is not Klemm's fault. Klemm just aimed high and got who he was aiming at. If the other coaches had aimed high and got who they were aiming at we would have more Texas recruits that were not Klemm recruits.

Leach just might screw us over on a few. Lewis appears to be looking at Wazzu also.

I'm not blaming Klemm-I'm blaming the Head Coach for allowing his staff to neglect Texas in the prime recruiting months of Frebruary through May which I documented on a monthly basis with the numbers showing us bringing up the rear of all Texas schools by a mile. Even then I pointed out that other staffs recruited a lot outside Texas but they kept their Texas emphasis high. June Jones hired the wrong staff for the wrong job

Stan Brock will save us all. Big East recruiter of the year 2012-2015.

Pettway should not be counted as a de commit as there were very unusual circumstances and it was a mutual parting (actually more so initiated by SMU), I wish the kid good luck though
