Marcus Holyfield to play football and basketball at SMU

[SMUfiji43]

Did anyone ever find out what his football background is? It seems like he is definitely more of a basketball player and should emphasize that over football. It's not like he's a 6'7 freak athlete like Hunt who is absolutely worth taking a chance on. Receiver is not a position of need anyway. I don't understand why we would give him a scholarship if he is clearly more of a basketball prospect( and may not have even played football). I hope I am proven wrong, but right now I question the logic of this. Best of luck to him

Looks like JJ is the only one who can recruit basketball players.

Can you say Rhonda?

Interesting...quite a few articles out there about his basketball accomplishments. Here is a video of him dunking on a high prospect out of Mater Dei:

Wooooot....anyone that can own Mater Dei is cool in my book. Sorry Mike.

Funny how 3 years ago Jones was being credited for recruiting basketball players and now he is being lynched for failing to land better football players.

He lynched himself for how he treated SMU during the ASU fiasco. He is simply reaping what he has sown. I don't think the hard core JJ supporters understand that. Has Holyfield played in a football game for us?

Not defending him, just an observation. As in Pony Excess, things change.

who gave him credit in this thread? Lots of folks asking if he can play fball. Why did he recruit a bball player who had never played fball. He used up that chit with Hunt.

Pocono pony said it looked like June was the only one who could recruit basketball players. It is right there, you just have to scroll up a bit.

I guess I misinterpreted what xc was trying to say. Seemed like he was saying people were lauding Jones for recruiting a bball player. I did not see that in the thread. Maybe I just misunderstood his point.

None the less hope Hollyfield can hoop. I think any body that gets on the court consistently helps the team just through minutes of rest for the starters.

I don't think you use up a chit when the bet pays off.
