Despite rebound and impressive outings, Augustine suffers numerous losses in first SMU class
By Veronica Downs | SMU Daily

Known for his savvy on the recruiting trails just as much as being a offensive coaching savant, head coach Nico Augustine was expected to get SMU to get a solid handle of the Texas recruiting pipeline, combatting not only in-state rival Texas and Texas A&M, but battling blue blood schools who want a piece of Texas' best.

So far, it has been a gargantuan failure for Augustine and the Mustangs, as they have lost several key recruits in recruiting battles. A few weeks into the season, and SMU has only landed one recruit.

Wide receiver Eric DeLuca is their only commitment so far, committing before the season even formally began. DeLuca is a six-foot-one, 193-pound wide receiver from Austin, Texas that brings solid speed and athleticism that Augustine and offensive coordinator Tony Sanchez highlight in their receivers. Knowing that the team could see the likes of J.J. Harrell, Yamir Knight, and Jalen Cooper all leaving the receiver room, the team wanted to make sure they were bringing at least one recruit into the room.

The team has battled all year for numerous, high-profile prospects and lost. Namely, offensive linemen four-star Ramon Adongo out of Rosenberg, Texas and five-star John Adeniyi out of Florida (the number one offensive tackle in the country that could have boosted the Mustangs' offensive line for years to come).

The team is still in the running for the number one player in the country, middle linebacker Dalton Retkovsky and five-star quarterback Sergio Duggan, the number one quarterback in the country.
