DMN: SMU is lucky to have June Jones - he's going to win

[mustangxc]

Reading the article, it comes across as if June Jones really does get it. Then you go check our commitments on rivals and… I'll stop right there.

Outside of the UT transfers who is he talking about?'

“We’re getting a lot of looks from all around the country of kids who want to come home — kids who went to a top program elsewhere but now want to come back. They call us first."

Apparently they look here and go elsewhere.

That's was the only positive thing I read in the story-hopefully its a QB-and a LT, and FS and a couple of CB and maybe a RB, Punter, Kicker, two guards and NG. Then we are set

Right, that's it. And this lamp, and that's all I need.

And I don't need one other thing, except my dog. And a 4 month vacation in Hawaii every year.

Am I wrong that June has gotten every recruit admitted who qualified?

Don't forget a Special Teams coach

[Dooby]

This town's media, with rare exception, has this bizarre fascination with coaches. The never suggest coaches should be fired. They cover up coaches' transgressions. Maybe it is every town but this town's media worships coaches. There has never been a tcu, unt or smu coach that should be fired. Even knowing Mac Brown won't come back, they won't say it is the right thing to do. They talked about Campo and Wade getting raw deals from Jerry. They cover up/overlooked Nellie skipping practice to play golf and promoted his BS demand for an extension and then suggested Nellie shouldn't have been fired by Cuban after Nellie basically begged to get fired so he could get paid not to coach. They never talk about Landry being so old and out of it he sent in the wrong play from the sideline n a game. They overlook the fact that many of Jimmy's friends said he wouldn't coach the Cowboys more than five years.

Good point, Dooby. Hadn't really considered that before.

Very Good. I would add, JJ is 36-40 at SMU. Average ranking of 36 teams he has defeated...#110

With slight *. He got just about every one admitted who didn't have a criminal record (5 years in jail) and 2 kids that were offered delayed admission in January if they completed two community college courses. One went to UTSA and quit within about 1 year. One changed commited to UCLA and was delayed admission at UCLA and you guessed it took two community courses in California. Never went to UCLA-was he denied admission? I don't know but he claims he switched commitment to Oregon St. Quit football within 1 year after never playing game because of recurring high school injury. There may have been an obscure JUCO TE too who committed late but was never admitted because of either some non-transferring PE/correspondence courses or something. He never started at Arkansas St. He was only committed for a few weeks so I doubt many remember him

There was one, Darryl Jackson, which (I guess?) is debatable. He signed an LOI here, but then didn't arrive on campus- not sure if he wasn't admitted, but it looks like he then signed with Oregon State, didn't do anything his freshman year, and retired from injuries.

There was also the stud New Mexico running back with serious prior transgressions who was probably coming here, then wasn't, but he was a JUCO and it wasn't grades, it was "other stuff." Don't know if June decided to cut chase or was told to. Don't think he ever panned out here.

I think Dontae Levinson didn't make NCAA standards, then fell off the face of the earth.

He made it in then transferred. Stallion can give you more examples of how the admissions issue is no longer a problem.

Dante Levingston was admitted and attended for a full year. He quit SMU because he was a Klemm commit and decided to leave on his own. BTW we were just discussing him on Scout. He ended up at Santa Monica JC-and now has about 8 offers from Sun Belt and below type programs but also perhaps Tech and Kansas St
