2014 recruiting class edit

Emmanuel Mudiay in the 2014 McDonald's All-American Boys Game

During the 2014 recruiting season, SMU gained a commitment from Emmanuel Mudiay, a five-star point guard from Dallas. However, he would instead sign a one-year contract reportedly worth $1.2 million to play with the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association. While Mudiay's family indicated the signing was financially motivated, news reports indicated that he was unlikely to be approved for play by the NCAA's eligibility clearinghouse.[1] His NCAA eligibility difficulties stemmed largely from his two years at Prime Prep Academy in Arlington, Texas—a school that has never had any of its academic courses approved by the NCAA to establish a player's eligibility.[2]
