"Malcolm will bring to his position a set of fresh ideas that we can use in recruiting," Doherty said. "He is a very smart guy that has a lot of good ideas that we can implement into our recruiting style. Malcolm will also bring an energy to the practice floor that will help a great deal. He is good at breaking drills down and coaching with a passion that the players will gravitate to."
Farmer has been with coach Doherty as a manager with Notre Dame and as his Director of Operations at Florida Atlantic University before coming to SMU.
Brion Raven
Filling the position left open by Farmer is Brion Raven, who will take over as SMU's Director of Operations for the men's basketball program.
Raven comes from Georgia after spending two years as their Director of Operations.
"Brion will now be 'A.I.2', as in Allen Iverson 2, as in 'The Answer 2,'" Doherty said. "Malcolm was the original 'Answer,' now Brion will carry that torch as he will have all the answers in running our program from schedules, travel, hotels, meals, uniforms and equipment. The players will know to ask 'A.I.2' when they need the answer to their questions."
Raven is a native of Grand Prairie and graduated from Texas A&M in 2005.
Jarred DuBois
Jarred DuBois, an SMU signee at point guard, made his last attempt to get out of his National Letter of Intent stating that he would attend and play basketball at SMU.
DuBois was denied his appeal to the university and was denied his appeal to the national letter of intent committee on June 16.
The DuBois family had previously stated that if Jarred was not allowed out of his NLI he would sit out a year, lose a year of eligibility and play somewhere else in 2009.
SMU declined to comment on the issue as it is still a "somewhat fluid" matter.
