How many recruits with BCS offers in this class?

Postby Rebel10 » Mon Feb 03, 2014 9:26 pm

Looks like we are going to get 25 commits. Anyone know how many of them has at least 1 BCS offer?

Gresham
Goulborne
Wyatt
Ingram
Walker

Ingram was offered by TCU 2 weeks ago as a DB. Not sure if either Gresham or Goulborne had committable offers when they committed to SMU but they had a bunch earlier. Goulborne suffered an injury that scared off a bunch. Wyatt had an Iowa St offer. Walker had a Michigan St offer

We are not a BCS program (yet) so it is evidently hard to get kids to come to SMU especially if Big 12 schools offer them. I'm glad we are getting some kids with BCS offers at least.

I can bet you anything that if TCU or Texas Tech offer any of our kids, it's bye bye...

Please list the times TCU beat Big 12 programs who competed for the same kid.

TCU's strategy was to beat out the BCS bottom feeders for kids. DMN did an interview with Coach Fran and he outlines the strategy. But TCU offered a good number of BCS kids over the years before they got into the Big 12. Stallion listed them one time.

If you look at USF a lot of their commits have BCS offers. So it can be done.
