25%

that's the percentage of Rivals Texas 3+ stars that SMU got around to offering this year 38 out of 152. Interesting. No comment

[Stallion]

16= Number of 3+ stars from DFW Metroplex (and I'm being very liberal in my definition of the Metroplex) that SMU offered

51= Number of total 3+ stars from DFW Metroplex

31%= The percentage of 3+ stars from DFW Metroplex that SMU offered

[Stallion]

12=Number of those 3+ star recruits SMU offered from "Dallas Side" (Eastern side of Metroplex dividing line including roughly Arlington east)

44=Total Number of 3+ Stars from Eastern Side

27%= Percentage of 3+ Stars from Eastern side that SMU offered

[Stallion]

its too hard man, why bother?

These numbers are absolutely unacceptable in our own back yard. DO we have a shot at many 5 stars? Probably not, but if they are in our back yard, we should at least reach out and offer.

Nobody has really answered my question, and I'm sure there is probably an easy one in the NCAA rulebook that someone can quote me and call me an idiot over, but if we KNOW June doesn't like to recruit, why can't we hire a recruiting staff/coordinator/anyone to handle the recruiting needs of the team? It's not like June's needs are that difficult to explain in terms of personnel... Have the recruiting coordinator build the team and let June do what he's good at and coach the damn thing?

Pretty sure you can give your coaches any title you want.

Larry Brown offered 5* out of 6 4+ Stars in Dallas Metroplex in 2013
Larry Brown offered all 4 out 4 4+ Stars in Dallas Metroplex in 2014

* The lone Dallas Metroplex 4+ star not offered was Desoto's Matt Jones who committed to Duke half a year before Larry Brown was hired

"But basketball recruiting is much easier and different than football"


I'll throw out an excuse for the JJ supporters so we can go ahead and scratch that off the list

[Stallion]

That's why there are 9 assistants in football and 3 in Basketball

I was being sarcastic. The lack of effort made in football recruiting burns my hide like no other.

[LHS81]

Well! At least their top 25 in something they do

[Oldmins]

12=Number of those 3+ star recruits SMU offered from "Dallas Side" (Eastern side of Metroplex dividing line including roughly Arlington east)

44=Total Number of 3+ Stars from Eastern Side

27%= Percentage of 3+ Stars from Eastern side that SMU offered

Yeah, Picky, but... the Dallas Side of the Metroplex includes Arlington? Tarrant County's Arlington, the "Dallas Side"?

[Stallion]

it was just a convenient geographical choice-I don't think SMU offered any 3+ star Arlington recruits-maybe Grand Prairie
