Seems like a harmless question to me emmitt. My point being, isn't that a pay site, if so, how would someone over here know? Geez, do you still have dreams of strapping bombs to yourself, and running

Because some want to think SMU us our rival. They aren't. We can do much better. If we are going to pick a private school with which to have a rivalry, that school should be Rice.

Is this our 6th recruit to lose out of this class now? I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam Miller end up somewhere else as well. Rick

I'm glad the coaches didn't bail on him after he re-opened his commitment and specifically asked for them to stay in touch.

Welcome aboard Cinco. Looking forward to a bunch of sacks & QB pressure from you in the future.

Me too. Good to have him back. Side note: I've seen more kids recommit to the schools they decommitted from this year than any other year, by far. I think it's causation, not correlation, between that and the fact that kids are being pressured to commit earlier and earlier to have a spot in the class. Many more decommits, hence more recommits.

If we can land Combs and Watson then this may be as good a DE haul as we've seen in a while, and the strength of this class. Howard was originally scheduled to visit SMU last weekend, but he visited Tulsa. I wonder if SMU cooled on him. Either way he's a good pickup, but something I can't help but wonder.

It happens to everyone everywhere except a very select few places like Alabama and Ohio State. Vanderbilt's top recruit just flipped to Arkansas... Texas Tech has had a a slew of decommits... I agree that you want to limit it however you also want to go after the best players you can land and those kids have options. There is a fine line between the two and luck plays a part.

You could have an entire class that commits early and stays with you through till the end because they didn't have other options.

Best example, Wheeler committed with us early -- had he not been given the Tech offer late would have stuck with us.. should we count that as a negative or should we have gone after a lessor player who would have stayed with us no matter what? I have no problem with our coaches going aggressively after Wheeler and I am ok when he decides to decommit to a p5 school late because we did the best we could to land a difference maker. They have a board of who is next in line and we quickly should move to that or look at flipping one ourselves.

Right, but Wheeler is not the problem. The problem is having guys flip to Air Force, ULM, San Diego State, etc. If those are truly the guys we want then we can't be losing them, after they've already committed, to those schools.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
