A big game is on deck for SMU, which means it's another big opportunity for recruiting visits. The staff has been working hard on selling the brand and the vision of the future; a 6-0 record and national ranking has helped in that case.

The visitors list for Saturday's game is a big one, as more than 30 athletes are expected to be at the Hilltop for the SMU-Temple showdown. Among those are current in-state offensive lineman commits Branson Hickman and Marcus Bryant, as well as linebacker Mason Mastrov, who is supposed to be making the trip from California.
