Didn't he go into recruits homes for face to face visits ?? You think JJ would have recruited either Dickerson or james? And don't give me payola as an excuse. He sold SMU.

Exactly. EVERYONE was paying.

He sold SMU, hard. He wanted to be here, and he wanted to win.

That's really all I want. Someone who wants to be here. Someone who actually wants to win here.

"Take a couple of weeks off during recruiting season"
"We are wasting our time recruiting the Metroplex, Greater Houston and East Texas because the kids don't call us"

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.

Campbell graduated in 1977. Meyer came to SMU in 1976.
