I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I'm not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

I'm not surprised by this. We have a lot of OL commits already.

doesnt seem like you would pull the 4 star. Something else going on here?

Something else is obviously going on. It doesn't seem like he has as many schools after him as he should.

I'm guessing grades are the problem, it looks like several schools have lost interest since the article below was written.

like this move, dont be a safety net, plus his feet concern me. He reminds me of Daniel Johnson, an OL from Seattle, WA that Mike Cavanaugh recruited to Hawaii. Complete bust because of his feet..

I find it interesting that this is coming out today and just yesterday things were sorted out with Yenga. Considering that both of these players were between us and a school that had yet to offer, maybe our coaches told them it was time to make a decision. Either way, I'm glad Yenga is back.

are we really in a position where we should be telling 4 star o-linemen to commit now or lose his offer when he's between us and 1 other school? like other people have said, there has to be more to this story. can't possibly just be an issue of impatience on smu's part.

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

If you notice he said his "top two picks IS SMU and Idaho' (instead of ARE, if the TCU guys are still on this board) ......I believe he may have failed the English portion of the SAT's.

It has got to be grades. There is no way that a 4 star lineman would only have two offers from non-AQs
