Speaking of quarterbacks, let us discuss
Ty Simpson. Look for Simpson to take a step back and have a broader look at his recruitment. He had hoped to do something in January and we no longer believe that will be the case. With Steve Sarkisian off to Texas, he will need time to get to know Alabama’s new offensive coordinator which is likely to be Bill O'Brien. That has bought him some time in our opinion as he also monitors what is happening in Knoxville. LSU, A&M and Texas have all called this week. Clemson remains a factor but is likely going to want an answer sooner rather than later. In our opinion this is still between the Vols and Bama but with both either experiencing change or dealing with questions surrounding the program, it’s wise of Simpson to slow things down to see how things settle.
