'24 AR LB Wyatt Simmons (Arkansas commit)

[OrangeShade]

My son would have been giddy.

Same here. That seems like he's just looking for a reason to feel slighted, rather than happy for the offer he supposedly wanted.

That’s even if any of this true. I’m going to wait to see what else happens.

Remember now: There is not one word from Wyatt Simmons. Or his family.

This is all stuff that MPW made up, was in a frenzy about, and posted -- 22 times.

Surely, Wyatt and his family are not unhinged like this MPW dude. I bet they are nice reasonable people who care about their son and looking at offers with level heads. I bet they would be shocked to find out that MPW had been on this board for days posting like he has and acting like he was the family's only hope .

MPW was very insulting to Wyatt's family. Declaring that Wyatt's father who is a coach didn't know how to contact a staff was condescending and ugly. And that they didn't know how to post Hudl or use twitter, according to MPW, was an equally weird attack on the family. Only MPW, you see, could save the "ignorant family" -- that's how MPW told his tale.

Texting a recuit you have an offer & never anything more before or after isn't how it's done

So you wanted them to reach out and then they did exactly what you wanted and now it’s wrong… got it

 

[BADGER_VOL]

Is MPW just a poor man’s “handler,” who’s just not good at what he does? Maybe he thinks he’s playing this vital role and is just a fish flipping around on the floor of the boat. Idk honestly. This thread is quite the drama fest.

we need some football now!

Who knows about the kid, but I think it is now well established that Mose Phillip’s Watch is a huge diva.

He’s a pre-madonna who lacks pocket presents, and I’d prefer not to see him post in this manor again.

 

[Unimane]

Sometimes, well, often, message boards attack a guy sharing info they don't like, trying to deconstruct how wrong or stupid they are for doing so. Whatever. I don't care. I only care if it's true or not, no matter the opinion of our fans because, in the end, either the kid felt wronged or he didn't. Or,he'll come here or he won't, maybe even if he's good enough or not. The rest is noise. Whatever the motivation of the person sharing the news

I don’t see that anything good can come from this conversation, if someone is hurt, say sorry and move on.

If this kid loves UT then I hope it gets straightened out and everyone is happy..

This whole thread is Much Ado About Nothing.

 

[RikidyBones]

UT screwed up for sure

Dumb

 

[TheBigOne10]

This is one of the more classic recruiting threads in recent memory. That’s for sure.

 

[JacketVol]

Texting for the first time reaching out isn't real cool

Please go away or just stop. With kids, texting is the way first contact is made a lot. It’s a different generation but whatever.

Dude must have been expecting the offer to come via snapchat.

or tic toc. But that’s how USC JR does it

This thread delivers

 

[Playdo]

I have not laughed this hard in a long time. Just excellent work by all involved. Also every time I saw that guy’s username I thought of

good point on his manorisms

 

[Jackcrevol]

I’m thinking an assistant coach saw his tape and liked it. Told the coaches…who are extremely busy at the moment! Yay! They said offer him. The assistant may not have worded it well. Then again, I don’t know how situations like this work. And this is just trying to read between the lines of what a random poster on VN said.

Again…recruits always give praise to our coaches for being honest and straightforward with them.

i think what happened SAS was we texted, and kid was expecting a biplane to spell it in smoke signals over his high school.

Have to take your word for it. The wife won’t allow me access to social media platforms. I get all my Facebook info second hand.

I apply all my creative juices on this site. You folks just lucked up.

How many recruits have you been around to know if this is how it's done or not?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

UT screwed up for sure

Lol. So says you.

 

[Volgrad98]

Sounds like we should have sent the guy a cookie cake. Our bad.

 

[MidTennVols]

Seems like a titty baby.
