'22 TN QB Ty Simpson (Alabama commit)

[NeverWe'llSever]

Win for Ty!

That last sentence is encouraging. I believe if UT has a pulse, this kid will end up here.

Me too. A lot can change, but at this time, I think he really wants to come to Tennessee, and bring a lot of In-State talent with him.

Based on all the coaching changes at UT and other places, when would you think Simpson commits?

Let’s just be happy that I think he ends up here.

That's fine. Sorry if I wasn't clear with my question. I was meaning, do you think Simpson makes a decision in the spring, summer, or the fall. I wasn't meaning to imply that I was asking when is he committing to Tennessee. Sorry again if it came out that way.

"I feel like I'm very open now with the firing of coach Pruitt," Simpson said. "We had such a good relationship that I always thought I would play for him one day."

This confirms that he's just looking for a reason to come to Tennessee and was all but set to do it, already, before Skoal Can was fired. It would seem that Heupel needs only to prioritize him and show him some hope.

The player you are referring to is Arch Manning

Watch out for Texas there...
Arch has his own personality.

Simpson can absolutely make the same type of impact. I don't believe we get both. If we get one then thats huge. Can't forget about Horn either...

 

[UTMVol76]

We need him to commit this spring and be a main recruiter for this class.

Would bring a lot of Heup to Knoxville.

Heupel must land kids like this. Have to start landing and retaining (key word) these Tennessee kids. Absolutely critical recruit, IMO.

It's a process...

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Lol Weinke wasn’t even his moms favorite QB. Come on Ty.

 

[ndubvols]

If heupel can get Ty to commit relatively soon that would be huge. Would really help quiet the doubters about his recruiting and help build some momentum for the ‘22 class, especially instate.

Summer IMO. Maybe fall.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Summer IMO. Maybe fall.

Cameron Miller seemed amped, bet he commits before Ty

Cmon @matts42012 give me hopeeee

 

[MoB_MoVols]

At the top of the list continues to be Ty Simpson and as his comments to us showed, he still very much likes Tennessee and is willing to give Heupel and company a shot.

You can get a read on where he's at with UT here

VolQuest - Heupel targets Ty Simpson in early hours on job

 

[TheRain]

I'm just speculating, but it seems to me the young man really likes the Vols. As he gets to know the coaches I think he will help recruit the in-state class.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

How many QBs are needed? How many can we keep satisfied as backups, knowing they would start at many schools. I would wait on Manning and concentrate on Dline Oline and DBs

1 QB every year.

[Wickman]

I thought he was taking a step back

 

[Wickman]

This would be humongous for in-state recruiting.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I thought he was taking a step back

well chit. this will set us back 4-5 years in State.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Oh crap. That seems quick. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing
