I'm guessing EM's decommitment led to this?

Not sure, he blew up at the Lebron James Camp so I have a feeling some "blue bloods" probably got in his ear and showed interest and that is why he decommitted.

Muliday was approached by all the bluebloods too, but you would know better than me about this situation. It's hard to picture someone backing out on LB after committing unless they're leaving for a paycheck.

What would Mudiay have anything to do with it? He never would have played with him at SMU anyway as he was a for sure 1 and done.

Like previously said, I'm guessing it's because he has absolutely exploded over the last few weeks.

Like Marcus Smart right...jk good point. But my point is committing to SMU has more to do w/a recruit deciding to play for a Hall of Fame coach that can get them to the NBA than w/a non-blueblood school. Just saying I would be terrified if I was an SMU fan right now b/c my formula for success seems to have the same weakness as a school like Houston or any other no-blueblood even w/LB.

I know reading about it that SMU has a logjam of guys at that position(just got a transfer from VT actually) at same position. That may have had something to do with it.

Matt McQuaid, a top tier shooter in 2015, is reopening his recruitment and backing off his commitment to SMU, per his coach Wes Grandstaff....Matt McQuaid had committed to SMU in the late spring. 6-5 with a terrific shot. Had huge performance at LeBron.

Creighton was very high on him so hopefully we can get back in with him. Majority of 247 had him going to Creighton before he picked SMU.

Creighton needs more shooters? I'm still having nightmares from the last group of Bluejay marksmen.

Yes, we do! We need to live up to the mantra "Shooter U." We definitely need to reload though losing 3 guys who were >40% from 3 point range although hopefully in the future, we won't be so dependent on the 3 as we were the last few years. Next year might be rough from a shooting perspective.
