Adam Grosbard, SMU beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions recently about the Mustangs and the American Athletic Conference.
Question: Could Sonny Dykes be a better recruiter than Chad Morris? He landed some guys rated higher than Chad ever did before signing day.
Grosbard: It's hard to compare, because Dykes did get some better rated players, but he also has the benefit of SMU coming off its first bowl appearance since 2012. Knowing the team is close to winning helps in recruiting. Chad did not have such a luxury, because he inherited a mess from June Jones.
