Recruitng is starting to show
GG was masking what seems to be a team that is not as talented as some thought. We barely beat Montana State and were down to Temple by more than 1 touchdown in the second half. We had to come back on both games to win. GG had to do heroic things for SMU to win those games. Burcham looks okay but without a QB that can do almost superhuman things it looks like we could have a rough year next year due to poor recruiting.

You think it's just now starting to show?

Rough next year? I think it's going to be rough for the next 10 years.

Yeah it's been showing for awhile now (see our performances versus Texas P5 teams) but you're right about next year being rough sans a superhuman QB.

And I think Burcham will have a good year next year but will not have the surrounding help he needs imo.sbsmith wrote:Yeah it's been showing for awhile now (see our performances versus Texas P5 teams) but you're right about next year being rough sans a superhuman QB.

Depends on what you mean by a good year. OOC will be a nightmare for him (likely 0-4 start) and conference play isn't likely to be much better.

Re: Recruitng is starting to show
I could have sworn this has been a post death penalty issue that started to show from the 1st game we played in 1989
Re: Recruitng is starting to show
It should not show this much with a coach in the 6th year with less restrictions than any since the DP. GG provided smoke and mirrors on the true situation which showed itself today.

Re: Recruitng is starting to show
It's not just starting to show. In 6 years our pass happy coach has yet to recruit a WR who could compete with Bennett's guys.
Re: Recruitng is starting to show
Darius Johnson gave us four quality years at WR.

Re: Recruitng is starting to show
Next year could be brutal. I'm thinking the defence in particular will likely be atrocious.
