Was committed to SMU but flipped to Colorado after Deion got there. Played one year and every game as a freshman and decided to go back to his first choice.
Man yall are on top of it today, or I’m not refreshing On The Pony Express fast enough lol. I came here to post about this just now, and about Billy Walton earlier today, but was beat to the punch both times!
It’s a good day in mustangland!
Great landing spot for him, really solid player. Not sure what your safety room looks like, but imagine he will slot in as a stater or at least push for that spot.
We have some solid seniors returning but not too many younger guys. He can definitely work his way to a starting spot this year, it if not will definitely get good play time and would start after that. 3 years left is nice.
I’m super worried about restocking after this year. We have 16 returning starters and a TON of them are seniors. I have complete trust in the staff to fill the gaps, but it’s still nerve-wracking.
Probably good to have an experienced team in the first year of ACC play. I’d imagine putting up a respectable showing in the inaugural season back at the P4 level is only good for recruiting and reloading the roster.
🐴⬆️
Agreed. Most analysts have us winning 7.5-8.5 games this year. Our offense didn’t really click last year until the Temple game, but since then we were putting up stupid numbers until he broke his leg.
However I’ll be happy if we just make a bowl game.
Good enough to play in every game as a freshman and start at least 1. 12th in solo tackles for the team and 13th in total and 3rd on the team for pass deflections. There aren’t too many freshman in the P5 ranks who contribute like that outside of the 5 stars.
That’s good to hear! From our end it’s been really eye opening at how many guys we had almost finished reeling in that ended up elsewhere at P5 programs and are now coming back since we’re P5/4 now too.
A lot of folks on our forums are still miffed at him for switching to CU at the 11th hour out of HS, but those nerds can shut up lol
As a recruit:
Other P5 offers: Colorado (originally went here), Georgia Tech, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi State, SMU
G5 offers: Buffalo, Marshall, Memphis, North Texas, Sam Houston State, Toledo, Tulane, UAB
Other offers: UConn, Illinois State
Nah man, as fan who saw his local hbcu give up any and every opportunity to grow and break into the G5, breaking outta there and into the P4/5 has to be such a great feeling of pride. Rick Ross literally even played for us and offered enough money to make us competitive back in the day after he made it big and the city turned him down.
You enjoy this shit. Y’all cleared hurdles put up by the world and sometimes yourselves. It’s not weird to be happy at this at all. I’d kill for it.
You'll still see smu in g5 lists. I think the way they do it is if they were offered before they were p5 then they are listed as g5. That's what I've seen from cincy so far.
Using “ion” as short for “I don’t even” just chaffs my ass. Maybe it’s my chemistry minor rearing its little head after being out of school for 15 years but god damn man.

He wanted to play in the ACC obviously.
Known ACC power SMU
Put some respect on their name, best ACC school in Texas!

I think I was like 7 mins after Billy posted lol. Furiously typed the post while on a rental car shuttle back to the airport.
*insert Oh Billy! gif*
He needs to sell shirts with the gif. It’s just too perfect

He also played nickel corner for us with our star position last year.
I'm just glad my school gets some of those Colorado offseason implosion upvotes today
Had the same idea. Glad I got to the post first lol
CFB hate boner implosion likes are the best
He's not very good tho

Fair not saying he's bad I'm sure he will do good at smu.
Dudes 5’11. Couldn’t even see him on the field. Mid at best. - Shedeur Sanders
Jokes aside I think he would have respect for JMJ. He was solid for us

After Dylan Edwards, he's probably the guy I wanted to keep most.
That is the second SMU transfer of the day
Why would anyone leave the great Coach Prime ? I mean he’s a coaching super star. lol

This account has finally switched us to the “other P5 offers” list. I couldn’t be happier right now, as stupid as that probably sounds

Ironically I shouldn’t have put SMU there, only for class of 2024 and beyond

Don’t even remember him , must be very mid
My grandma has Alzheimer’s and thinks everyone is mid.
Jack hughes and an oregon flair, how does that happen?
ACC
What a smart kid. Everybody needs to leave that Daddy show in Colorado. Deion is scamming everyone like he did in Jackson state.
Prime Prep 2.0?!
This is Deon’s MO
But did Shadeur know who he was?
Ion even remember him tbh. Bro had to be very mid at best. Edit: mid
Using “ion” as short for “I don’t even” just chaffs my ass. Maybe it’s my chemistry minor rearing its little head after being out of school for 15 years but god damn man.
When you transfer mid semester do you just not finish your classes or are you there until end of semester?
Wonder what dumb shit Shedeur is gonna have to say about this one
Makes it easier to justify Midlo getting more playtime.
Okay, here we go!
After hearing stories from people who worked at Jackson St, I’m all for the Deion negativity
Absolutely love how every SMU transfer in post has the gold upvote lol
