Agree. We should email that to June, apparently he needs motivation.

13 Days to go. Everything is going to be pretty much over in 5 Days as most top recruits will be lined up after completing this weekend's visits. At a lot of schools last week is pretty much walkons, sleepers and the permanently confused.

Ranked 79th is totally unacceptable. It will be revealing how our last spots are filled.

It's 2 bowl wins (2nd tier bowls that hardly anyone watched), membership in the worst BCS league ( most everyone is convinced the BE is on the verge of losing AQ status) and the "wide open offense" hasn't materialized yet (plenty of other teams with comparable or worse talent seem to have no problem developing wide open offenses).

Sorry, I was thinking "of course we beat Army" instead of "what the &$^#, we lost to ARMY? And scored 14 points?!. Point is, June is selling a much better car then was being sold six years ago, and he's getting the same price for it, except his commission is 4x as much.

The quotes honoring Junesus' offense were for whiny, sarcastic effect.

Wow Im surprised. I was guessing 90+. Very depressing, and since we just got Houston's coach I have a feeling we arent going to get anything. It is weird how Houston is able to maintain their level when losing their HC and OC, and we only lost a very good OC.... its the curse of SMU I suppose. Lets hope we can beat 1 Big 12 (TCU) and 1 SEC (A&M). Then take down the rest of CUSA, that should be a boost for us, and hopefully recruits getting their freshman/RS year to start off on the AQ team.

Actually we only lost an O-line coach, Houston lost their HC, OC, DC and several other coaches.

My bad, but the point remains that they have a higher rank than us, and they lost everyone

I think we might still be ahead of Rice, but not by much.

Estimate Your 2012 Final Recruiting Class Ranking

Postby goldenstang » Sun Jan 22, 2012 1:55 am

I want to know what excuse all you guys will come up with for June when this class is all said and done. This has to be damn near his first class. That class he had a couple of weeks to put together this one he has had well over a year. Terrible just terrible. Oh wait but recruiting rankings don't matter at all I forgot.

As of January 21, SMUs 2012 recruiting class is now down to 12 3 Star commits with Seaver Myers receiving an aTm offer this week and who knows what he will do ? Rice has 10 3 Star recruits in their 2012 class and may catch us.

Our prospect for this class look pretty sad, in fact increcibly sad. JJ doesn't care as he will likely be gone after this next season.
