Pick Six Hicks didn’t exactly light it up this year. Don’t know where he can go from here. 

[greenjoe]

Scout team ?

[EagleMBA]

He did them a favor. I think he had visions of splinters in his ass next year.

Reuniting with Morris at Arkansas?

Doubt they would take him.

Hicks doesn't strike me as one to put in the work to be "the guy."  He just wants to be anointed.

Seems like SMU would've been a perfect fit for him..

[golfingomez]

If he wants to be the guy, sounds like he'll have to transfer to FCS...

Dykes probably saw enough of his play to last a lifetime.  Hard to believe he is SMU all-time leading passer but it helps when you have NFL type receivers. I thought he was going to say he was going declare for the draft.

I would have laughed even harder if he had.

I wouldn't be surprised to see James Proche Jr transfer after this news. He's also graduating with a year of eligibility remaining and the coaches in Austin are well aware of his talent. The loss of Hicks would almost certainly reduce Proche's role at SMU next season but he could be a difference maker on a much larger stage at UT and drastically enhance his draft value.

Very upsetting news. Was looking forward to one more year of SMU Hicks.

Why? They're going to throw balls to him no matter what.  He's the best receiver on the team.

Will Brown is a talented athlete but he's not the proficient passer that Hicks is, especially the timing to hit receivers in stride. Why should a receiver of Proche's ability stay and battle that futility when he has the opportunity to play somewhere that could really showcase his talents.

If this hurts SMU, then I'm good with it.

What is the SMU Forum saying about Hick's leaving?

I wouldn't exactly call Pix Six Hicks a proficient passer.

They're saying good riddance as they run him out of town.

He threw a very catchable ball. Problem was, it was very catchable by either team.

[Salsa_Verde]

Well...if a lot of these players transfer, then it looks like SMU is going to have a lot of cap space. Look for them to make some big moves in free agency over the offseason. 🤨

Oh man, if that happens, you’ll hear a roar of cheers erupt from all C-USA West teams!

What is sad some team somewhere fans will get excited to get SMU all-time leading passer.  IT won't take long for the fans to figure it out it was not such great thing.
