SMU Mustangs’ recruiting hits turbulence as the departure of ace recruiter Casey Woods shakes the program’s foundation. Are SMU’s recent struggles in landing blue-chip prospects a short-term dip or a sign of a new recruiting reality under Rhett Lashlee? Grayson Singleton spotlights the impact of losing key coordinators, including Woods’ storied track record at Auburn and UAB, and questions if other staff members can fill the gap. Key topics include the challenge of competing with recruiting powerhouses like Florida and LSU, the ripple effects from SMU’s recent College Football Playoff appearance, and how on-field performance could dictate the 2028 class. Insights center on the importance of organizational continuity, the significance of blue-chip hit rates, and why winning this season is critical for regaining momentum in the ACC. Could SMU’s next top-25 recruiting class be just a championship run away?
