I took a few notes at basketball practice today:


· The team had an hour-long film session before practice started on Monday.

· Larry Brown decided to get involved in SMU's warmups, doing jump rope with the team. A lot of the players were laughing and trying to get their coach to hop on one foot with them as well.

· Jean Michael Mudiay rode the stationary bike during practice after spraining his foot in practice last week.

· Keith Frazier was back at practice on Monday. His jumper looked good from midrange and deep.

· Ben Moore looked good in practice today, especially in passing. He threw two nice lobs to Ojeleye and Frazier for dunks

· The team worked on different drills like denying entry passes (Nic Moore looked amused that he was paired with Cannen Cunningham for this drill) and advancing the ball against the press.

· Semi Ojeleye continues to adjust to SMU. His big play was when he set a screen that took out Ryan Manuel and Nic Moore to free up Ben Emelogu for an open three.

Tweet from Clemson Nation that he's following Morris to SMU. Seems incredibly unlikely but wanted to pass along.

If the Pats win, do practice squad guys get a Super Bowl rings?

And SMU is on it! Along with BYU and San Diego State. The three-star product should be priority 1, 2, and 3 for SMU

A source tells me that 4-star Nacogdoches cornerback Jaylon Lane is on the Hilltop today for a visit. The 2015 product is a STUD:

I spoke with 2015 running back Auston Banks about his new SMU offer and interest in the program.

Banks

Here is a quick list of the visitors that will be on campus this weekend.

First off, every member of the 2015 class will be on campus next weekend as part of the staff's goal of getting them all in a room together to start bonding as a class. However, James Proche will be on campus this weekend unofficially to recruit those on their officials.

Jonathan Song-FW All-Saint kicker
Keaton Bates-Arlington Lamar OT
Auston Banks-Notre Dame (Tenn) running back
Eli Howard-San Angelo Central DE
Bryce English-Desoto DT
Kevin Thomas-Desoto WR
Isaac Warren-Tyler John Tyler DB

This is an early list and I will keep updating as we go today

Yep you guys are right I just went a read through the official list and saw where he is at Tulsa.

It still is a defensive player.

Got that camera CT was urging me to buy. Worked out pretty good, I think. Here's a link to my pictures using that camera from today's game vs. ECU: http://tinyurl.com/l6dgcw2

Tyler's got the Quick Take

Here are my trending stocks from today.

Trending Stocks

Coach Larry Brown:

-We are trying to get more people involved, especially Cunningham and Emogolu.

-ECU coach told Coach Brown they are the best passing team they've played against outside of North Carolina

-Ben Moore has been struggling, we had a long talk about that after the game.

-Ryan Manuel's growth is getting better and better.

-Ben Moore's versatility complimenting Markus Kennedy's comeback in the post

-Markus Kennedy doesn't want to start, is comfortable coming off the bench right now

-Ben Moore has been tentative on the road, adjusted well today in the second half.

-What's holding Emologu back right now? He cares "maybe too much" and is pressuring himself too much

-Surprised Wilfong dunked but said "he's better than people think. We may have to use him..."

Sterling Brown:

-On and off the floor, team chemistry is constantly improving

-Loved Wilfong's dunk, he's a fan favorite

-On 21 assists, we were doing what we usually do, just knocked down more shots today

Ryan Manuel:

-Going back to the basics- emphasizing defense and rebounding and we've dramatically improved

-Everyone has to step up right now

Both players really emphasized rebounding and defense over and over.


Other notes:

-Sterling Brown started in Keith Frazier's absence tonight. He had 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. This was his second start of the season, his other vs Indiana earlier in the year. With this type of performance, look for Coach Larry Brown to keep that same starting lineup next week.

-SMU off to best start in conference play (5-1) since 2001-02 (5-1 in WAC)

-SMU shot 50% from the field for the 9th time this season. Entered 1st in AAC with a FG % of 48.4.

-SMU is 1st in the league in FT % but only shot 57.9% from the line tonight- 11/19.

-SMU has now won 12 of 13 games, 4 consecutive games

Tyler and I will be at Moody today for SMU's matchup with the East Carolina Pirates. Follow us on Twitter for more updates: @TJoe_Sweet
