#SMU commit Cedric Lancaster has just picked up an offer from Houston


Now SMU and UH have package deals for them both.

saw this coming a mile away.

If this staff is worth a lick, they should be able to hold on to them. If not- wow, how pathetic.

This just got very interesting, we could lose Paul, Minor and Lancaster in short order.

[gostangs]

why would they pick a lesser program and school?

we will be fine.

Ask other recruits that have made the same decision. A lot of these kids don't have the most discriminating eye when it comes to academic prestige. Plus if June goes job hunting again this winter that could send some recruits scattering. This thing is far from over with these kids.

[gostangs]

no - its over. you are so eaten up with anti Jones sentiment you dont even want us to be successful.

these recruits aint changing

Free story from rivals a few days ago:

"I really like the U of H," explained Minor. "But the thing is that I want to go to college and play with Cedric. We grew up together, went to high school together and all of that. My thought was that I was waiting on U of H to offer Cedric so we could go together but then SMU offered him and that was my other option so I decided to go play with him there."


I wouldn't say that sounds like the words of a locked up recruit...

[Hoop Fan]

well, how can Lancaster think that UH really wants him since they only offered once Miner changed to us? Seems like our staff can exploit that little fact and I am sure Lancaster is a smart kid and can see UH offer for what it is, too little, too late if you have pride.

there is also the small matter of us kicking their butts up and down the field to the tune of 72 points!

Pony up biatches.

[SMU 86]

Lancaster has indicated that he is solid to SMU even though Houston has offered.

[SMU2007]

Good to hear

[gostangs]

of course he is. they suck on the field and off.

[ojaipony]

of course he is. they suck on the field and off.

Ditto!

I don't see how anyone goes (or let's their kid go) to that school who cares at all about their education. We should cream them in recruiting every year here on out for years to come.

Our pitch . . .
No one has the full package we can provide in the nBE: education, location, campus, sororities, and an actually competitive product on the field all in one AND you will most likely get early playing time while playing for coaches with deep NFL connections . . . why get lost in the masses at some 'factory' public school that's just like every other school?

Any questions?

Cool, sign here, here, and here. (who else can we talk to you that you know who are just like you?)

Repeat.

Thus endeth our recruiting pitch. Not that complicated. Just needs lots and lots of elbow grease and some swagger.

[PoconoPony]

we will be fine.

Remember, half of these recruits are scared to death of truly academic colleges fully realizing that they are either not good students and/or not academically prepared. When in doubt, go where you think you can stay eligible and in school.

[gostangs]

thats great if you want to graduate and be a sanitation engineer. we can make these guys into men who can actually provide for their families if they just let us.
