SID/Hart: Questions I sent Coach Jones

[Big12Mustang]

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask Coach June Jones several questions that many Mustang fans as well as I have pondered so long.

1) Coach Jones: As we have seen through many scouting websites (scout, rivals etc.) it seems that the average quality of recruits that SMU just signed seems really low compared to our conference rivals as well as our usual Big 12 and other regional Texas rivals. Q: is there a plan in place to step up recruiting quality and build stronger relationships with local DFW high schools and other Texas hotbeds such as East Texas and Houston?

2) I can speak for all SMU fans in that we would like for our football program to return to national prominence and a top 25 status. Our Basketball program just cracked CBS top 25 status this week and is poised to reach AP top 25 status after our wins versus Temple and Cincinnati this week. Do you have a plan in place to prepare our team for tougher American Athletic Conference competition, as well as tougher TCU, Baylor, UNT and even Big 12 competition with our current athletes and with our future recruits?

3) Could we come up with a coordinated strategy between SMU Football and SMU Basketball to build a solid brand within the city of Dallas by executing several measures including, but not limited to: 1) Town Hall meetings of both sports between coaches and fan base/students/community; 2) Coach happy hours or luncheons with Coach Jones and maybe Coach Brown as well with our community; 3) Start an alliance with the city of Dallas as well as local businesses, community and churches to start promoting SMU Revenue sports throughout the city of Dallas and earn the support similar to what TCU has gained in Fort Worth and other Texas programs have with their city?


And a Bonus question::

4) Start a new tradition of transmitting Away SMU Football/Basketball away games at Ford Stadium/Moody Coliseum?

I thank you for the consideration of my questions! #PonyUp and #GoMustangs

Nailed it. What forum are you posting these questions on? Would love to see the responses.

I emailed them to [email protected]

They said on the signing day announcement that we should email questions to JJ for the Q and A session they are having.
