For those "in the know" here's the wishlist as I see it of those remaining who remain uncommitted and would be remarkable pickups for us. How do you see it?

Money Hunter
Taylor Tatum (does he really have a 4.21 40 time?!?)
Tere Calloway
DJ Green
Brandon Hines
Billings
RSJ

Good question since SMU only has 3 spots left as of now. I think we might be off Billings', Hunter's, and Taylor's list.

I thought I saw a headline somewhere saying Hunter is seriously looking at us again. Compared to his other offers I see on Rivals we should be competitive there.

I'd pull some offers if we get 4 of these guys on this list to commit (any 4).

It's a shame we aren't in the running for RSJ anymore.

I feel he's pretty much a lock for aTm unfortunately. (terrible school).

I wonder if ED is actually lobbying for SMU at all.

Isn't it safe to assume we'll over-sign by a few, with the intent of greyshirting? We have done it before, and it seems like all schools are doing it now. Maybe there are a few more spots to give than we think.

That said, put me down for at least one more offensive lineman, maybe two or three, and at least two defensive linemen, both in the 290-and-up range.

No school can over sign per new NCAA rule enacted over the summer. The most NLI signings a school can have is 25 now period.

Maybe one more defensive lineman and 2 athletes total.

Right we can only sign 25 on signing day. The rule that passed was called the oversigning rule.

just look back to last year if you want to see how quickly your commit list can change.

I am not sure if it is an NCAA rule. SEC adopted it within their conference but I am not sure abut the NCAA unless it just kicked in this year.

Kicked in the past summer for the NCAA. The Rivals guy looked it up in the NCAA Bylaw book.

We have a track record of losing 4 or 5 to academic issues every year. I am sure the coaches have a realistic understanding of those who are academic long shots. Not sure why they even offer these bubble kids as most prove they cannot handle the academics by flunking out the first year making the whole thing a waste of time for everone.
