Students in the After School All-Stars program at KIPP TRUTH Academy in South Dallas are offered activities and guidance during after-school hours.

South Dallas educational program helps students aim for the ‘stars’ ERIC SHEFFIELD Video Editor esheffield@smu.edu Thirty seventh graders file into Ms. Cornelius’ classroom at KIPP TRUTH Academy in South Dallas. The students chatter with each other in hushed voices as their teacher enters. She clears her throat to silence the room.

“Class, put everything in your backpack,” Ms. Cornelius says with the flicker of a smile. “I don’t want to see a single book, progress report or piece of homework.”

Papers shuffle and zippers zip. A few seconds pass and then suddenly—BOOM-BOOM-CLAP BOOM-BOOM-CLAP. “WE ARE READY!” the class says in unison.

At 3:30 p.m. each day, the students at KIPP are still in school, but it’s a different kind of school.

The ‘Cornelius Clap,’ performed by banging your fists twice against a desk following by a booming clap, is just one of the differences between the middle school’s traditional teaching

and the afternoon activities.

After-School All-Stars is a program designed to help keep kids off the streets and out of trouble during the hours immediately following KIPP’s teaching hours.

The North Texas chapter was founded by Betsy Orton, an SMU alumna, in Fall 2012.

“Elementary schools and high schools have all sorts of programs to help at-risk kids,” Orton said.

“But middle schools just seem to fall through the cracks.”

ASAS’s goal is to make sure that KIPP isn’t one of the schools that falls through the cracks.

The students rotate through activities such as art, sports, drama, computer classes and other programs designed to help KIPP students realize the potential they have.

The activity that the Cornelius Clap precedes is “We Are Ready,” an initiative that aims to help students look forward to college by having speakers of differing careers come in and describe their jobs.

“Most of these kids don’t know of any jobs besides doctor,

teacher, lawyer and police officer,” Orton said. “It’s important for them to be exposed to all different professions.”

On Jan. 31, Joseph Tone, the editor-in-chief of the Dallas Observer, headed down to KIPP to give the students the scoop on the career of journalism and report with his own experience with higher education.

“College is a lot of work,” Tone said to the attentive seventh graders.

“It’s something that you have to want to do yourself. But if you do, it pays off.”

Tone is the first speaker of the new year, but Orton said that ASAS’s goal is to have at least one speaker every three weeks, whether it be dance instructors, local athletes or even CEOs of locally-based companies.

As the 12- and 13-year-olds file out of “We Are Ready,” they head out of the building and out to the sidewalk in front of the school, each one grabbing a piece of chalk from a bin.

Today, in Ms. Harris-Carter’s art class, they draw images of the

aboriginal people that they’ve been learning about from their social studies’ teachers.

“Stuff they’re learning in their classes during the regular school day is being reinforced here,” HarrisCarter said. “Except after school, we let them put their hands in it.”

Whether it’s chalk drawings, play recitals or even board games, the All-Stars’ teachers try to relate as closely as possible to what the student’s are doing during the actual school hours.

To help facilitate this learning, some of the KIPP faculty, like Ms. Cornelius, stick around during the ASAS hours to teach classes.

“We open the program up for teachers to be as involved as they want to be,” Orton said.

The program goes beyond just learning. As the weekend draws near, the party gets started.

“Fridays are just... fun,” ASAS Program Director Michael Berry said. “The kids do everything from face painting to line dancing to Jenga.”

The goal of ‘Fun Fridays’,

according to After-School All-Stars, is to give the kids a chance to relax after a long week of classes.

However, Berry and others believe there are still educational benefits for the kids from days like this as well.

“It’s an opportunity for the kids to let their hair down and get a chance to learn life lessons,” Berry said “It may sound crazy, but games like Monopoly can teach life lessons.”

The students are required to attend ASAS at KIPP from 3:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. each school day.

Next year, Orton hopes that the program can grow into the ASAS-standard three-hour sessions and be offered in more schools within DISD. But for now, it’s only the kids at KIPP TRUTH that get to enjoy learning, playing and the sounds of the Cornelius Clap.

“The kids look forward to AllStars every day,” Cornelius said.

“They get to learn in a way that not’s traditional. They get to relate, relax and release.”

Fresh from a retreat to Lake Texoma, Student Foundation is gearing up to tackle a new school year with engaging campus-wide events. Perunapalooza, a party thrown in honor of the SMU mascot’s birthday, is first on the agenda.

“All of Dallas Hall lawn is turned into a giant carnival.

Expect fried food galore,” Student Foundation Campus Events Chair Keena Rood said.

“Last year Will Slack, our current family weekend chair, was completely covered in powder sugar, so it’ll be hard to top that. We have to hit the ground running to plan an even more exciting event.”

The date for Perunapalooza has not been set yet, but mark your calendars for April or May. Student Foundation welcomed 33 new members this year.

President Antonea Bastian believes, “Most people join [SF] because they want to give back to the community that already gives us so much.”

Student Foundation held the first informational meeting Feb. 6 in Hughes-Trigg to let the new members know how to get involved in the planning processes, as well as what the rest of the semester will look like.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to continue campus traditions and make the SMU experience even better. It’s going to be a lot of fun,” freshman Dan Mulford said.

Student Foundation is launching a social media campaign to push its online presence, according to Director of Finance David Lee.

Philanthropic founder makes book tour stop, urges students to get involved Caroline Hicks Contributing Writer cahicks@smu.edu “If you want to change the world, there’s no better way to start than with education,” John Wood, founder of the philanthropic organization Room to Read, said.

Wood kicked off the tour for his new book “Creating Room to Read: A Story of Hope in the Battle for Global Literacy” in SMU’s Hughes-Trigg auditorium Feb. 6, 2013 at 6 p.m. He spoke to a group of 20 SMU students and faculty members.

After a life-changing trip to Nepal, Wood quit his job at Microsoft and founded Room to Read and has never looked back.

Room to Read is a philanthropic organization that is responsible for opening over 15,000 libraries in developing countries, impacting

over 7.5 million children.

Wood and his team go into impoverished countries and seek out communities that need help improving their education systems.

Wood made it known, however, that his team picks communities that wish to help themselves.

The natives help dig the foundation for the libraries and paint the walls. It is very much a co-investment, where the people want to send their children to school, which strengthens the chance of success amongst them, according to Wood.

“We’re not going into these communities as foreigners,” Wood said. “We are working with them if they want to help themselves.”

In many of these countries, poor families are forced to choose one of their children to send to school, if they can send one at all.

In this situation, Wood said the

boys are always selected, which is why his organization focuses on schooling girls. Room to Read has made it possible for 20,000 girls to attend school.

When asked by an audience member if Room to Read collaborates with other councils in building schools, Wood explained that it does.

He said that most of the thousands of schools that have opened were made possible by the work of other major organizations, but they lacked libraries and books.

Room to Read works to build the libraries as well as stock them with books. The organization finds local authors and illustrators to create books specific to the school’s area. Room to Read is currently responsible for 850 original titles.

“We’re the biggest children’s publisher you’ve never heard of,” Wood joked. He said they

are putting talents from the developing world to good use as well as engaging students in books that they can relate to.

Wood’s steadfast perseverance is what drives Room to Read to its

great success. The organization is well on its way to accomplishing its goal of raising $10 million by 2015.

He urged the audience to get involved and start a chapter at

SMU to raise money for a library.

He then left the audience with a photograph of a young Nepali girl smiling outside a dirt shack.

“Go ahead. Make her day” Wood said.

Cafe Herrera brings traditional Tex-Mex to Mockingbird Station

Chocolate Festival comes to Dallas

TASHIKA VARMA Food Editor tvarma@smu.edu Mockingbird Station welcomes another new restaurant, Cafe Herrera. This Tex-Mex restaurant is located in the space formerly occupied by Margarita Ranch.

The Herrera family owns the Cafe Herrera chain, with the original café opening on Maple Avenue in 1971. After a fire, the cafe moved across the street where it is now.

This new location has the same Tex-Mex food but with a twist. Not only are there new lighter seafood options at the Mockingbird Station location, but also the new location has a selection of tequila-based cocktails for the 21 and up crowd.

The restaurant has a cozy feel with large wooden doors at its entrance.

With southwestern decor and a wide-open seating area, Cafe Herrera is perfect for families.

The inside of the restaurant has photographs lining the wall giving it a homey feel.

your own combination of enchiladas, tostadas, crispy tacos or tamales.

The menu will change seasonally but the traditional menu items from the original Cafe Herrera will stay the same.

Cafe Herrera is opened all week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. with the bar open until 11 p.m. from Sunday through Wednesday and until midnight Thursday to Saturday.

Cafe Herrera also offers brunch Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

TASHIKA VARMA/The Daily Campus

Shrimp enchiladas are one of many delicious dishes available at Cafe Herrera’s new Mockingbird Station location.

Another great feature is the large private family room called Amelia’s Room, which feature a family-style table.

There is outdoor seating as well with an outdoor bar.

Instead of plain margaritas, Cafe Herrera has signature green margaritas.

The food itself is typical Tex-

Mex. The salsa is deliciously spicy and fresh.

Each bite has a kick in it that has you digging another chip in without a second though.

On the other hand, the queso is below average. It had no flavor and the consistency is chunky.

This is one appetizer to avoid.

The enchiladas are a must

try. The brisket enchiladas made with slow cooked brisket and topped with spicy queso are mouth-watering.

For shrimp lovers, the shrimp enchiladas is the perfect dish to try.

Can’t decide what to order?

Cafe Herrera offers combination platters allowing you to make

“And that’s how I show that I don’t believe in gender dichotomy,” Copeland said.

The audience unanimously agreed with the dancer by clapping.

Like any other dance, burlesque has a basic structure, but Copeland ensured the audience it can be

The members of Mustache Envy, a current Dallas show that includes Tuesday Night’s speaker Whitney Copeland (back left).

Burlesque dancer speaks to female pride, confidence Diana Mansour Contributing Writer dvmansour@smu.edu The Women’s Interest Network invited a professional burlesque dancer to talk about women’s empowerment and gender Expression through the art Tuesday night at Hughes-Trigg.

Social worker by day and burlesque dancer by night, Whitney Copeland, showed the Women’s Interest Network that burlesque dancing is “something to be proud of.”

“Burlesque is really about being confident in your own body and loving who you are,” Copeland said.

This type of dance incorporates contemporary and retro dancing like jazz, modern dancing, swing, ballet and belly dancing in a dark, sexier way.

Today, burlesque carries many traits from belly dancing,

its main influence.

The Women’s Interest Network is a student organization that strives to empower women within the SMU and Dallas community.

With guest speakers, performances and other activities, the Women’s Interest Network tries to provide resources and help for women to deal with daily issues. Some feminists feel burlesque, like stripping, objectifies women.

“I think it really goes hand and hand with feminism. I’m comfortable because I’m not a subject to my [or anyone’s] oppression,” Copeland said.

The dancer explained that by dancing she owns her body allowing her to be in control to do what she wants.

She also stressed that dancing makes her extremely proud of her body and that feminists who oppose it should attend shows and learn more about

the dance.

“What caught me off guard the first time I saw a burlesque show was how interactive it was. The host would just say: ‘yeah scream, call her [names], anything’,” SMU student and Women’s Interest Network secretary Samuel Partida said.

The “calling of names” comes from the influences of belly dancing.

While women were belly dancing, the audience was supposed to encourage them and their art by yelling “Ofhah.”

Copeland explained that burlesque is more about the tease than the actual end result. This is one of the differences between burlesque and stripping.

Even though both dances are often categorized as the same, burlesque women are never completely nude or take money from the audience.

“Burlesque is starting to come into mainstream culture a

lot more with like the X-Factor and [the movie] ‘Burlesque’,” commented SMU transfer student Angela Uno. Copeland said that burlesque is becoming more acceptable, but the movie failed to show exactly how it is.

She says the industry is more on your own, making your own costumes and without backup dancers.

Copeland started burlesque her sophomore year of college as a fun alternative to lose weight.

After a few classes, she realized that dancing made her feel happy and confident. Dance became a form of expressing and loving herself.

Now she and her partner are part of the Mustache Envy, a show that plays in Dallas the first Friday of every month at different locations.

Burlesque is also an outlet for gender expression.

“By participating in Mustache

self-taught “if you watch videos, read about it [and] try to do your own costuming.”

The dancer ended by incorporating the audience and teaching them some of the basic moves of burlesque dancing.

Among some of the moves were shoulder shimmy, hip bump switch and hip shimmy.

“I’m taking notes for like Drag right now,” Partida said.

“We were bewildered. How can you have the biggest franchise in motion-picture history, Harry Potter, and yet no one has ever been on the Oscars? (It) was strange to us.’’

Standardized tests harming students trevor thrall Opinion Editor tthrall@smu.edu As a product of the Texas public school system, I have to say I was not at all dissatisfied with my experience. I had a great time at school. I don’t mean rewarding.

I actually did have a great time at school. It was essentially a freefor-all requiring little to no effort or brainpower. The one thing we were able to master, however, was the science of test taking.

Early on, we were introduced to the TAKS test, which was statewide from third grade to junior year of high school.

They always covered your basic subjects: math, social studies, science and English. Math.

Social studies. Science. English.

Each test subject would span an entire day of school, even though most students finished after three hours.

The logic behind such long testing periods was to make sure there was no pressure. So thank you, Texas, for taking away the anxiety in the only area where no one actually seemed to care.

We were all very worried that we would not have enough time to answer 80 multiple choice questions in the span of 8 hours.

Even though the TAKS was a joke of a test, there was a strong emphasis on doing well. We were always encouraged to succeed, with cheers and songs and little goodie bags. The administration’s zeal for us was seemingly selfless, until we reached a certain age where we discovered that schools were given more money by the government based on performance.

There’s the kicker.

We were trained throughout the entire year for a test that could not possibly gauge our learning for that class because after elementary school you

stop taking “reading.” Teachers begin to have personalized curriculum, as they should, that cannot possibly coincide with the standardized test for an entire grade level.

You’re taking a chemistry class? Oh, sorry. The science test is going to cover biology, so we’ll need you to take a six-week break in your chemistry lessons to review how mitosis works.

Every year, we spent extensive amounts of time learning how to take these tests. We learned how to properly underline and highlight a narrative about how good Jimmy was at playing marbles. We learned how to eliminate answer choices before even reading the question because it was too unrelated to the other choices. We learned that a good personal narrative consisted of three paragraphs, carefully constructed after drawing out a flow-chart.

After all of the preparation for mindless testing, there wasn’t much room for actual learning.

Even worse, there wasn’t much room for learning how to learn.

I didn’t realize how academically deprived I was until I began college. Professors seem almost heartbroken when they assign a paper meant to spur deep thinking and a student says “so, how many pages does this need to be?”

Public schools are doing America a huge injustice by emphasizing standardized testing.

If all we’re learning is how to systematically answer questions, we will be drained of the innovation and creativity needed to move this country forward.

Providing incentives to schools for test performance only hinders the learning experience.

Republican Chuck Hagel, President Obama’s choice for defense secretary, testifies before the Senate Armed Services Committee during his confirmation hearing, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013.

Protect the President’s Cabinet Hagel doesn’t deserve Secretary of Defense job W. tucker keene Online Editor tkeenel@smu.edu Former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska will likely get confirmed as Secretary of Defense rather easily, despite not getting any support from his former Republican colleagues and friends on the Hill.

Hagel is a Republican, but his views on foreign policy are to the left of even most Democrats. That on its own is not a problem, and most Republicans recognize that they won’t agree on policy with many of Obama’s nominees, but vote for them anyway. Republicans aren’t opposing Hagel because of his political views as many in the media seem to assume. John Kerry was confirmed nearly unanimously, and Republicans don’t agree with him on much at all. They’re opposing Hagel because he’s shown himself to be uniquely unqualified for the job of Defense Secretary.

Hagel openly admitted that he would have to do a lot of on the job training, and proved himself completely unaware of key Obama Administration positions on things like containment toward Iran, and even called Iran a legitimately elected government, apparently forgetting the rigged election of 2009.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney admitted that Hagel did a terrible job at the confirmation hearing, and even sympathetic media sources were critical of his performance.

And yet, he’ll get unanimous Democratic support, simply because Obama nominated him.

Executive appointees, especially one as important and crucial as Secretary of Defense, shouldn’t be automatically confirmed simply on partisan lines. They should have to prove themselves on their own merits, and on this measure, Hagel surely failed.

What I have to wonder is why Obama nominated Hagel at all.

It can’t be for the bipartisanship, as Republicans have no love in their hearts for Hagel.

He endorsed Obama in 2008, and his views on foreign policy are far to the left. Hagel’s perceived antiIsrael views and past negative remarks toward the “Jewish Lobby” were sure to guarantee a difficult and politically costly confirmation fight.

Obama is spending crucial political capital on a fight that isn’t worth winning. When Obama wins this, he gets a bumbling old Republican who no one aside from Iran is excited about and who will need to learn precisely what it is he’s supposed to do as Defense Secretary. How is that worth the fight? Wouldn’t his capital be better spent on the upcoming fights on gun control or immigration?

This reminds me a lot of Obama’s insistence on considering UN Ambassador Susan Rice for Secretary of State last December. Rice was a very

cartoon

controversial pick because of her involvement in the Benghazi debacle, and Republicans made known their intention to fight her nomination until she withdrew her name from consideration.

Again, Obama seemed to want a fight when none was necessary.

John Kerry will be a capable Secretary, and he flew through confirmation easily. After he was confirmed, Kerry revealed that he was the administration’s first choice, and this was decided even during the debate over Susan Rice.

Obama continues to seem to pick fights with Republicans simply because he can, and that hasn’t had much of a negative effect on anything yet, but when Obama gets Hagel, his inexperience could actually have some consequences.

firing line

Think economically I was listening to the radio the other day, The Carmen, Yurko and Harry Show on ESPN 1000 Chicago to be specific, as they discussed one of the most interesting trade scenarios to come out of the Super Bowl.

The guys were discussing the massive contract that is coming Joe Flacco’s way after winning the Super Bowl’s MVP award, when one of the guys brought up an interesting scenario: what if the owner of the Jacksonville Jags, the Bills or the Eagles were to call up the Ravens and offer something in the neighborhood of three to four first round picks over the next few years for Joe Flacco’s services as quarterback?

It’s a difficult question to answer. Flacco threw for 11 touchdowns and not one interception in the Ravens postseason run. Those are incredible numbers, so of course the Ravens should keep him. Right?

Wrong.

My grandfather is a stockbroker, and I had the opportunity to intern for him one summer. There is a reason that I’m a journalism major, and not a finance guy. But, I did learn one thing that summer that is important in almost any field one enters, and it is basically our family motto: “buy low, sell high.”

Flacco will never have a better good run again, not because he is a bad quarterback, but because it was a really run. It’s not so easy to throw for 11 touchdowns and no interceptions, and the task is not easily repeatable. Flacco’s credentials as the guy that can back up his claims as an elite quarterback will never be stronger. The only way his stock can go from here is down. That’s why the Ravens must sell, and make out like gangbusters in the process.

I mean I’m just saying.

Meadows School of the Arts has made its way onto a number of critic’s lists in the Dallas area.

In addition to be recognized in numerous categories, SMU is the only university on the list to feature student performances as winners.

First, Manny Mendoza of “Morning News” recognized the Meadows Dancers in his top ten list.

Additionally, Margaret Putnam, a dance critic of “TheatreJones” put SMU’s Fall Dance Performance at number seven.

Meadows dancers work on modern, jazz and ballet to complete their B.F.A. The unique part of SMU’s dance program is the amount of student choreography that is performed.

Brown Bag Dance Series is held twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.

At these performances, dancers present their own choreography

take private lessons, perform at Dallas concert halls and learn music theory from the talented faculty that we hold at SMU. This talented faculty was also mentioned in Dallas reviews.

For instance, Clifton Forbis the Meadows voice department head was listed as number one of Gregory Sullivan Isaacs’s “TheaterJones” list.

Cantrell ranked Alessio Bax as number six for his Dallas City Hall piano performance and named Bax’s CD “Brahms: Piano Works” in the top 5 classical CDs of 2012.

Making the list of the Region’s professional musicians, dancers and performers is an enormous accomplishment for SMU.

A season high 5,170 fans were in attendance for Wednesday’s game versus Memphis.

Record crowd watches Larry Brown’s Mustangs fall yet again Billy Embody Staff Writer wembody@smu.edu Even with a season high of 5,170 fans rocking Moody Coliseum, the Mustangs to Memphis 60-52 on Wednesday night.

This was their first home loss to Memphis since 2009.

“They were great. They can guard. They’re athletic and they make it tough for you to score, but at the end of the day, if you were to tell me that we were going to hold them to 30 percent, 29 percent shooting, you told me we were only going to turn the ball over 11 times, then I would say we were going to have a hell of a chance to win,” SMU head coach Larry Brown said.

Memphis jumped out to a seven point lead in the first five minutes of the game, but the Mustangs battled on multiple occasions in the first half to keep it close. Once the second half started, the Mustangs couldn’t keep that going.

“I’ve got some guys out there that are so tired. We’re trying to give them 30 second breaks. We’re getting a little better there,” Brown said.

SMU was down by 12 five minutes into the second half and after that the Mustangs kept battling especially in the paint, where the Mustangs scored 26 points and had 15 second chance points.

The Mustangs were lead once again by Jalen Jones, who had 15 rebounds and 13 points. Jones had his seventh double-double on the season.

The Mustangs were able to stick with a tough Memphis team that was undefeated in conference play coming into the game against SMU. The loss dropped SMU’s all-time record vs. Memphis to 3-11.

The Mustangs were outmatched with Memphis able to use their bench effectively even after Shaq Goodwin was ejected after a flagrant foul on Jones in the second half.

The Mustangs did hold Memphis’ bench to six points compared to the

Mustangs’ one point, but Memphis was fresh throughout the game with energized players that were able to close down SMU’s attempts to get back into the game.

SMU’s shooting in the end was terrible. The Mustangs shot 31 percent from the field, but made just one of 12 three-point attempts on the night. The quality of shots the Mustangs took was not great with Memphis playing tight defense, but SMU point guard Nick Russell took a career high 26 shots.

The Tigers were led by Geron Johnson, who scored 19 points on the night and also added seven rebounds as well. Memphis did have three players off the bench playing more than 10 minutes, which allowed Memphis to keep the pressure on the Mustangs and ultimately get the win to stay undefeated in C-USA play.

The loss drops the Mustangs to 2-7 in C-USA play and 12-12 overall. The Mustangs face Rice on the road on Saturday.

Sunday the SMU women’s basketball team (16-4, 7-0 C-USA) will host Marshall (7-13, 1-6 C-USA) at 2 p.m. in Moody Coliseum in the final leg of the Play4Kay initiative for breast cancer awareness.

The Mustangs will take on a reeling Marshall team that had lost eight games in a row until they beat Memphis on Sunday 55-54.

The Mustangs have had little to no trouble in conference play.

The Mustangs (11-2 at home) haven’t lost a game at Moody Coliseum in over six weeks.

Keena Mays has been playing lights out averaging over 20

points a game while shooting 44 percent from the field and 43 percent from three point range.

Alisha Filmore is another Mustang having a stellar year, averaging 12.5 points a game.

Filmore will look to surpass the 1000-point mark for her SMU career in the coming games.

She needs 69 more to become the 20th player in SMU history to reach the milestone.

Recruiting

SMU scores on signing day Billy embody Staff Writer wembody@smu.edu SMU football signed 25 high school and junior college players to complete the team’s 2013 recruiting class. The class, ranked 66th on Scout.com in the country and seventh in the Big East Conference.

Jones said that the class filled a lot of areas of need, including at running back, where Zach Line left a huge hole due to graduation.

The Mustangs filled that hole with former five-star recruit Traylon Shead, who signed with the Mustangs and enrolled early for the Spring semester from Navarro Junior College in Corsicana, Texas.

Shead, the prized recruit of the class, at 6-2, 225 pounds and with a 4.5 forty-yard dash, will be asked to come in and take over the

starting role provided he can pick up Jones’ Run-n-Shoot, but that won’t be a problem for the former Texas Longhorn to do now that he is reunited with quarterback Garrett Gilbert.

Another addition to the class was three-star Red Oak High School tight end Jeremiah Gaines.

Gaines will line up all over the field for the Mustangs on offense, at outside receiver and even as a down tight end.

The Mustangs got some help on defense, where the team loses eight starters. Three-star outside linebacker Roderick Moore from Dallas Skyline signed with the Mustangs on Wednesday and at 6 foot, 240 pounds Moore can really disrupt opponents’ gameplans coming off the edge.

The Mustangs had two highprofile signees, but not just for football reasons. Myles Crosby from Colleyville, Texas is a model

for Calvin Klein and is rated as a two-star safety by Scout.com.

The elusive Deion Sanders Jr. out of Prime Prep also signed with the Mustangs on Wednesday.

Sanders is the son of former Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys star Deion Sanders, a perennial All-Pro player in the NFL and also earned himself the nickname “Primetime,” for his celebrations.

With the amount of talented players that were brought in with this class, Coach Jones seemed to think the move to the Big East couldn’t come at a better time.

“With our move to the BIG EAST, we will be playing a step up in talent and I feel this group will be able to compete as we make our move to our new home. This class will allow us to play the game at the highest level possible.”
