Deion Sanders son comes to SMU

[Oldmins]

Well, that's interesting news. On Yahoo sports says that Deion's son, who is now in a Sports Academy (?) in Atlanta, will be enrolling here in January. Wide receiver, he says. Sounds good, but note that he is only 5'7" and weighs 170. Does the miraculous turn around in Pony sports begin with this?

Yes, assuming he gets some of his much more talented teammates and some of Deion Sr.'s PrimePrep mentees to commit to SMU as well. Otherwise he'll get lost very quickly in our sea of slots.

[Oldmins]

Of course "some of Deion Sr.'s PrimePrep mentees" will have to be able to read and write before they can enroll here, won't they?

They can't all be illiterate (fingers crossed).

At that size, we can dub him "half time"

What about "small time"?

Let's just recruit the kids of famous athletes and parade their dads around. Maybe the answer with respect to recruits is to become more elite, not less.

Deion was small at FSU

Wow I stumbled upon this on Yahoo, I did a double-take when I saw PonyPride on the header....


Great for the football staff, I didn't realize they were still working. I wonder how they sold him on us?

Not saying he is not good but I do not know if he had a lot of offers. Plus Deion and JP are pretty close. Glad he is a Mustang and enrolling early at SMU.

If June was leaving wouldn't he tell Deion Sr. that if they are buds?

[ponyboy]

"June Jones is one of the best football coaches that I've ever played for," Sanders said. "If I'm going to entrust my son in anyone's hands, you couldn't get a better person. Forget the coaching, he's a man that cares about kids' education and a man that will fight for kids at his college and will leave if they're not treated fairly."

Might want to call him 'sub-prime'
