Watching a replay of Lamar vs. Allen

and I'm really believing that Zelt Minor is going to be a very special player for us...I'm shocked he didn't have more offers than what he did...Colbert looks very athletic as does Cedric Lancaster... Loving the fact that we've built such a strong rapport with this school. It'd be great if we could steal their safety Bonney as well.

Bonney would be a coup, considering the offers he has. But if we could pull it off ...

I'm happy to start with Lancaster and Minor. How did Hyder and Walker look to you?

[CenTXpony]

Walker appears to have legitimate speed however I've yet to see any plays where Colbert connected with him. He did draw a few pass interference calls for what that's worth? Haven't seen anything from Hyder.

Saw Zelt Minor record a few sacks, one in which he drove the offensive lineman back about 8 yards straight into the QB (who was pretty fast and athletic). Colbert appears to be very shifty with great acceleration and agility, if he doesn't get a QB role then I'd say he could be a really great receiver... if he can catch.

I heard from a source which will remain nameless but connected that Bonney's parents don't want him going to a big public school... I'd take that with a grain of salt though but adds fuel for wishful thinking...

Great to know...that might turn out to be a super connection for the PONYS!

I completely agree. I was blown away by his highlights . . man amongst boys for sure . . . one never knows how that translates to the college ranks, though. . . . I have high hopes for the young man and super excited about the pipeline being built there hopefully . . . can we have 5 more just like him please?

Come on, Bonney. You could play here from day one, play close to home, get a superior education on a beautiful campus (with beautiful women), with guys who have tons of NFL connections and a track record of getting guys into the pros. (easy sales pitch to anyone, so let's get after it SMU football recruiters!)

I think we should sell the fact that weve sent 17? Kids to the NFL all which came in as two star recruits or less.... Imagine the potential if we got 4 or 5 star athletes... we can dream right?

One or two 5-star chippers could lure more.

Having one or two of those seventeen (preferably a skill position player) make it big would go a long way to improving the program's visibility.
