'22 TN QB Ty Simpson (Alabama commit)

[InVOLuntary]

Knowing the potential backlash from picking Bama or Clemson to lesser degree, I would think he'd announce on Twitter or some other social media if it was either of those. I think him having a public announcement is another clue that it could be the Vols.

There's logic to that

So, when/what date is Simpson expected to announce what school it's gonna be? TIA.

AP admitting that he basically coaches these kids to lie to recruiting services in order to preserve the surprise was pretty awesome. He hates crystal balls.

Maybe that’s a good thing for the Vols...

If Ty commits to Clemson or Bama, he will be a five star in February of '22. If he commits to TN, he will be a high four star, probably ranked around 90th-120 in the country.

If a staff can't get their #1 target in their home state to at least delay their announcement and consider them in one month, it doesn't bode well for their recruiting abilities.

You can't possibly be serious?!?!

Another CB to Alabama.

I hope we are not going to judge Heup over this kid. That is just silly.

Trust me. Plenty will. Those will say Heupel can’t recruit if he doesn’t land Ty.

Oh he is

Well that guy is a bamer loser homer so take it with a grade of slaw.

Calloused Hand is the only crystal ball that I'll pay much attention to.

 

[jakez4ut]

If Heup pulls this kid, we can count on him hand picking his QB every year, moving forward.

well, i think a lot of that depends on what happens with the QB's we get, period. landing Ty would be awesome, no doubt. but that's only step 1. need to show the rest of CFB what this offense looks like with the type of QB's we have...it's not like the QB room right now should suck. Bailey, Salter, are the headliners for obvious reasons.....but i'm not convinced Maurer and Hooker won't have something to say.

long story short....if this offense takes off, then it just validates Ty's decision, and makes it much, much easier going forward to recruit all offensive positions, especially skill position guys.

it's always gonna come back to production.

well, and i think i speak for a lot of people here, those people are stupid.

 

[volfaninpa]

AP saying that he isn't going to cover Simpson's commitment would be ruining the kid's moment and would be in line with the misdirection that he was telling the kid to do.

Bama folks seem pretty confident on 247.

Ugh. Anywhere but there.

Bama folks and their Uncles molest Collies.

meh. that's kinda their default status these days.

therefore, i just won't read much in to that........lol.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I’m confident that TY will be a Vol but whether Heupel is the long term answer or not, it’s stupid to question his recruiting ability when he’s barely been on the job for a month.

That’s not even enough time to build relationships with these kids.

Good grief.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

It's def gonna be sad when Ty goes to Bama and wins a NC

Honestly sounds like he deserves a tremendous amount of credit just to get us back in the mix.

Loved Tennessee before and then we hired a coach who scores 40+ PPG.

Let’s not make it too difficult here folks

If he was seriously considering playing for Pruitt that barely scored 21 points a game, then I’m sure he wouldn’t mind playing for a HC that puts up over 40+ points a game.
