Not if his major goal to get major playing time and get a shot at pro ball as soon as possible. Besides I think colleges have financial aide programs for athletes that want to come back and get their degree after their eligibility is over.


Yep, like I said, either way I like SMU's chances.

I said "if". Not sure what his goals are one way or the other.

I heard Josh Pastner interviewed last Thursday on Sirius Radio...he said that we'd be pre-season Top Ten.

Not sure how much influence Pastner has on the polls since he is an AAC homer but most that are not associated with the AAC are saying SMU could be starting the year as a top 15 team.
