So is he getting offer for one of 3 or 4 scholarships SMU hands out over the next 3 years?

The way I read that is that they could either have 10 scholarship players for 3 consecutive years, 4 scholarship players one year, or somewhere between. Going down to ten is #notideal but not the end of the world either. Most teams play 8-9 deep at most
It seriously limits them though. Most teams do indeed play 8-9, but they have 12-13 to choose from. I can't even imagine how it would feel if we currently had 3 less scholarships to give for then next 3 years. Obviously, Larry Brown is a big draw, but SMU is still not Kentucky to attract risk-free talent.
One thing for sure, it shows that they really think very highly of Froling.
Imagine them having an Illini-like injury ridden year or two in that span. Yikes.

I think they are having that this season, no? With redshirts, transfers and injuries doesn't SMU only have 7 scholarship players?
Yep, they've been going 7-deep.
But it's only 5:45 in LA? Lol
The kid can't even have his moment lol
Almost forgot about that. That's including 3 very huge senior contributors so I wonder how much they'like drop off next year. It still makes me sad that we missed on out Shake Milton.. Such a cool name and he's been having a fantastic season for a freshman.
It will be interesting to see how the next few years go for SMU. They have been able to sign some pretty good players. I get the feeling Brown doesn't have the patience to follow the same rules everyone is expected to. Maybe he 'll set up Jankovic well or maybe he 'll bury the program.

Ah, damn. Froling's good. Would've loved to have him.
As to SMU, they're going to have zero degrees of freedom navigating through the next three years.

Curious if anyone has any grad transfer candidates yet? This is all I could find..

that lists seems completely arbitrary
"And another one bites the dust" The song remains the same.
Sort of shoots holes in our excuses this year.
Good for Froling I guess. Would have been a nice pickup. We need as many big bodies as we can get moving forward.
There won't be a definitive list until after the season. Not many redshirt juniors out there telling their coaches in the middle of the conference schedule that they intend to transfer.
We've had injuries at key positions, and although they only have 7 scholarship players, they're strong at every position. Regardless, they're still doing some extremely impressive work down there.

Yes, but they have Emmanuel Mu... oh, right.
We really figure out all kinds of ways to lose out on recruits....
Unless I'm mistaken, that was our last chance at filling a HUGE need of a big in this class. I guess we're rolling with Mav/Finke/LB.
That 3 years of the messing with Darius Paul, may in hindsight have be the biggest mistake Groce made here.

Paul and Cosby certainly blew up in his face. That, along with missing out on so many top PGs may be his undoing.
Eerily similar, substitute Richmond and Head above and you've got the same thing (kind of) with Weber.

Minus a car crash and a player left for dead. Sorry, I went there today.
