Well looks like SMU stole 2 from UNT

And we did it within the last 5 days. Take that UNT.

Like beating up a blind guy in a wheelchair, not very sporting.

Lost 5 to WSU. Nothing to be proud of.

Had to make room for the UNT recruits.

First time we have gotten 2 from them in the same class.

In the past we wouldn't even be looking at the same guys and usually because of academic issues

This. Losing these recruits really hurt our class.

We don't know how many would have gotten in (there have been a lot of rumors going around that some would not have made it), so losing someone you never had doesn't "hurt the class."

Stealing from NTSU (which might have gotten some kind of an early recruiting boost from the new coach) is a hell of a lot better than the other way around. Players were identified as targets and we got them. That's the way it should be.

Yes, plan B targets. When your targets are low that's not good. It might be better than the other way around but it isn't good either. We better step up our recruiting or in a couple of years or we will probably see some not so pretty results. If we lose a game changing player it does hurt the class. Only a fool would say different.

It's amazing how one month we are getting ready for our best recruiting class since the 80s, and then the next we're in the middle of the pack for C-USA rankings and stealing from UNT. This needs to be fixed by next year or we'll be the new door mat of the Big East...
