Adam Grosbard, SMU beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the Mustangs and American Athletic Conference during a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:
How much will it hurt SMU hoops to have so few returning players on the court this year?
Grosbard: It's going to be a rebuilding year for this team. Rebuilding could still mean competitive, but with so much youth on the roster it's going to take some time for the Mustangs to really find their strive. It's not like SMU lost some slouches after last season -- Semi Ojeleye and Sterling Brown are in the NBA and Ben Moore is in the G-League.
