Trust me, Stallion doesn't know anything other than what he reads on Rivals. He dreams nightly about Rivals.

And Stallion, you would probably need to be a member of the Mustang Club to run for President.

Nothing yet though get a little anxious when he bring his family to see the sights at Texas Tech.

At least we offered so little more we can do

This dude needs to take his dog for a walk across SMU .... and conveniently tour the campus and accidentally bump into the coaches, to remember why SMU is the place for him.

add Richardson Berkner DE Ugo Chinasa to the offers by SMU reported by Rivals. However, he has offers from just about everyone in the country and is presentluy favoring UT and OU.

Ah yes, Ugo. My favorite recruit in the 06 class. Kid is an athlete. One advantage we may have is if he wants to play both basketball and football, we would be much more likely to accommodate than UT or OU.

What is your basis for that statement?

I'd imagine he meant that UT and OU wouldn't let him play both. Doubt he would even make their hoops squads. If its a must, they probably would have no problem telling him to get lost.

Kind of like (imaginary post) "If B-Hop wants his brother to get a scholarship as well, we would be much more likely to accomodate than OU or UT."

Okay. Except that didn't Johnnie Freeman want to play hoops a couple years back and didn't Bennett say "not no but hell no"? Unless I'm just imagining that happened it sounds like SMU's policy the same as UT and OU in this regard.

I don't know. I imagine its a sliding scale based on their talent. I thought we going to allow the Thornton kid or Byron Eaton to play both, but I could be mistaken. I do know he would have to be on a football scholarship, so Bennett would have more say so than Tubbs.

If we don't allow it for top recruits, we're crazy. Better programs than ours allow it.

Freeman barely played for Bennett. Maybe because he never played hoops previously and he and Bennett had no prior agreement, Bennett told him Hell no.
