SMU is COMING...charging into the ACC waters to compete now in 2024, so says there video on the SMU website
Check out the new Weber End Zone Complex construction tour...it is nicely done and they are rightfully pretty excited about it. There was a 50 Mil donation dedicated to that upgrade alone.
Gerald J. Ford FB stadium was built in 2000, and holds a quaint crowd of 32,000+ and the new addition includes chairback seats.
Rhett Ashley is a 40 year old up and comer in the coaching ranks. Offensive guru reputation.
SMU has utilized the portal heavily also: 2024 - 19 in, 16 out...2023 - 26 in, 23 out....2022 - 17 in, 15 out. Total of 45 in last 2 years vs 39 HS's in 3 years.
Served them well last year using this model (not only UofL uses it) and likely will carry this system into the immediate future to further augment/upgrade their roster.
Total 39 3 years HS recruits: 10 -2024....16- 2023...2022 - 13. Star breakdown: 2 - 4*, 36- 3*, 1 - 2*
2025 HS to date: 11 commits, 1 - 4*, 10 - 3*
Perusal of roster: 1 - 5*, 21 - 4*, 47 - 3* and 43 NA's or Not Rated.
Recruiting strategy indicates heavy lean towards the portal now. Worked for them last year. Why not? Eerily similar to the Cards. This team will a threat in the very near future and is playing for this year too to flex in the ACC. Time will tell, I look forward to playing them at home this year.
IMO they will be very good and hard to beat especially at home. Great FB addition for sure. Don't wake up a sleeping horse especially a Mustang!
